Apple Model Names

A tiny helper library to convert Apple hardware strings ("iPhone6,2") into human-readable model names ("iPhone 5s").

Supports the following device hardware strings:

• 📱: iPhone, iPad (all types), iPod touch
• 💻: MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air
• 🖥: Mac mini, Mac Pro, iMac
• 📺 Apple TV, ⌚ Apple Watch

Usage

First, install the library:

npm install --save apple-model-names

Then, import and use:

import getModelName from 'apple-model-names';

getModelName('iPhone6,2'); // 'iPhone 5s'
getModelName('iPhone6,2', { split: true }); // ['iPhone', '5s']

// Examples with no matching result
getModelName('iPhone99,9'); // 'iPhone 99,9'
getModelName('iCrazy1,1'); // 'Other'

Options

An options hash can be passed in as a second parameter to customize the return data. Here are the available options:

Option | Default Value | Description ------ | ------------- | ----------- split | false | Return an array with the device and model split up (i.e. ['iPhone', '5s']). This is useful when needing more fine-grained control, such as styling each piece of text differently in your UI. noMatchString | 'Other' | The string to return for unrecognized device names.
