I have recorded user log since Sept. 12, and it seems that iPhone5,2 is more popular than iPhone5,1. — northtree, Sep 20 '12 at 05:11

You can find a list of all iOS device identifiers here (including iPhone 5 models and iPad mini): http://theiphonewiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Models

The identifiers of the latest models are:

iPhone 5: iPhone5,1 and iPhone5,2

iPhone 5C: iPhone5,3 and iPhone5,4

iPhone 5S: iPhone6,1 and iPhone6,2

iPhone 6: iPhone7,2

iPhone 6 Plus: iPhone7,1

iPhone 6S: iPhone8,1

iPhone 6S Plus: iPhone8,2

iPhone SE: iPhone8,4

iPhone 7: iPhone9,1 and iPhone9,3

iPhone 7 Plus: iPhone9,2 and iPhone9,4

iPhone 8: iPhone10,1 and iPhone10,4

iPhone 8 Plus: iPhone10,2 and iPhone10,5

iPhone X: iPhone10,3 and iPhone10,6

EDIT: I also made an updated version of the popular iOS Support Matrix including all models up to iPhone X.

Note the harmless repeated iPad3.6.

Yup, "iPhone5,1" is the GSM iPhone 5, "iPhone5,2" is the CDMA iPhone 5, "iPhone5,3" is the GSM iPhone 5C, "iPhone5,4" is the CDMA iPhone 5C, "iPhone6,1" is the GSM iPhone 5S, and "iPhone6,2" is the CDMA iPhone 5S. Does that answer your question?

The Verizon iPhone 5 returns "iPhone5,2". The GSM phone returns "iPhone5,1".

It looks like either iPhone5,1 or iPhone5,2 depending on the model of iPhone 5.

From @marcoarment, who is a well known iOS Developer:

iPhone5,1: model A1428, AT&T/Canada

iPhone5,2: model A1429, all others

A1429 may have two modes, but I don’t see any iPhone5,3 records.

I created a library for detecting the device at runtime.

It's called SDVersion.

Thought some may found it useful.
