iOS get physical screen size programmatically?

Question

Is this possible? I want the number of inches, not the number of pixels. I know it is approximately 160 ppi. But not exactly.

Answer 1

You might need use [UIScreen mainScreen].scale;

CGFloat scale = [UIScreen mainScreen].scale;
CGRect screenRect = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];

CGFloat physicalWidth = screenRect.size.width * scale;
CGFloat physicalHeight = screenRect.size.height * scale;
