Most of these solutions on here are so overkill. All you need to do is [[UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion intValue]. This automatically removes the decimal, so there is no need to split the string.

So you can just check it like:

if ([[UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion intValue] >= 8) {
    // iOS 8.0 and above
} else {
    // Anything less than iOS 8.0
}

You can also define a macro with this code:

#define IOS_VERSION [[UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion intValue];

or even include your check:

#define IOS_8PLUS ([[UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion intValue] >= 8)

Then you just need to do:

if (IOS_8PLUS) {
    // iOS 8.0 and above
} else {
    // Anything less than iOS 8.0
}
