Here is the code that I’m using in Javascript to determine whether or not I have an iPhone or an iPad in Portrait or Landscape mode.

function isiPhone() { if (( navigator.platform == 'iPhone' ) || ( navigator.platform == 'iPod' ) || ( navigator.platform == 'iPhone Simulator')) { return true; } else { return false; } return false; } function isiPad() { if (( navigator.platform == 'iPad' ) || ( navigator.platform == 'iPad Simulator' )) { return true; } else { return false; } return false; } function isLandscape() { if (isiPhone()) { if ($(window).width() >= 480) { return true; } else { return false; } } if ($(window).width() >= 1024) { return true; } else { return false; } return false; } |
function isiPhone() {
if (( navigator.platform == 'iPhone' ) ||
( navigator.platform == 'iPod' ) ||
( navigator.platform == 'iPhone Simulator')) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
return false;
}
function isiPad() {
if (( navigator.platform == 'iPad' ) ||
( navigator.platform == 'iPad Simulator' )) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
return false;
}
function isLandscape() {
if (isiPhone()) {
if ($(window).width() >= 480) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
if ($(window).width() >= 1024) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
return false;
}
The code is pretty straight-forward. I put it in a separate .js file, and then include it with most of my projects.
I added a new one yesterday to detect the version of iOS because the ImageFilter plugins that I’m using in Demotivate HD is only supported in 5.0 and later. I didn’t want to piss off my users by increasing the minimum requirement, so this worked nicely.
