IOS obtains hardware information

IOS system always claims to protect user privacy, from obtaining Mac address, UDID, mobile phone number, IMEI and so on is prohibited… IOS developers are always battling against the limits of Apple!

Obtaining hardware information using private apis is not included in the following table, as using private apis would be prohibited.

Partial details

  • Mobile phone model: Determine the device type by viewing systemInfo.machine.
  • System version: Obtain the device model from systeminfo. machine. For example, iPhone9, iPhone7, iPhone9, and iPhone7 Plus.
  • Screen resolution: includes physical resolution and logical resolution, physical resolution = logical resolution × screen scaling ratio (i.e. 1x, 2x, 3x), 1x device is basically extinct now, 2x corresponds to 4 inch and 4.7 inch screen, 3x corresponds to 5.5 inch screen of Plus device.
  • IMEI: International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) is the abbreviation of International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI). It is a 15-digit “electronic serial number” that corresponds to each Mobile phone and is unique in the world. Telephone dial keyboard input* # 06 #Can be displayed.
  • IMSI: sim card user id, stored in the SIM card. Currently, iOS devices can only obtain part of the information through CTTelephonyNetworkInfo, such as China MCC code 460, MNC China mobile code 00,02,07, IMSI is made by information stitching, the specific stitching method is Google.
  • Sim card serial number: The unique identifier of the SIM card is the four lines of 20 digits on the back of the SIM card.
  • Carrier information: you can obtain it by using the CTTelephonyNetworkInfo framework or by iterating the StatusBar icon text in the StatusBar. If no SIM card is installed, the default value is Obtained by using CTTelephonyNetworkInfo.
  • Running memory: The memory RAM(not storage) of the phone when running the program, which can be extrapolated from the phone model and obtained inaccurately through the API.
  • CPU model: The system can obtain the CPU type (such as 32-bit CPU and 64-bit CPU) and number of cores (dual-core single-core CPU).
  • MAC address: The MAC address cannot be obtained after iOS 7. The MAC address obtained by all mobile phones is 02:00:00:00: 00:00:00.
  • APP installation time and update time: The actual installation time (update time) can be calculated by the sandbox file creation time (e.g. info.plist). As for the first installation time of App, you can store a time mark in the sandbox. If there is a value, you can read it. If there is no value, the time of this installation will be saved.
