As the title reads, does anyone know how I can detect whether or not my game is running on the iPad? Controls need adjusting for the huge screen, but I don't know how to tell other than to possibly read the devicewidth/height. Is that pretty much it?

You will need to add something like this.

if ( UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad ) {
    // perform iPad exclusive code
} else {
    // perform code for the phone
}

Or use: http://www.monkeycoder.co.nz/Community/posts.php?topic=954

Get Device Type (IPod, IPhone, IPad) as String
- GetDeviceType$()

Just out of curiosity, is there any reason something along these lines wouldn't work?

isIpad = (DeviceHeight()/DeviceWidth() = .75) or (DeviceWidth()/DeviceHeight() = .75)

The iPad "mini" has a different aspect ratio. But it should still identify as an iPad.

iPad mini's resolution is 1024x768, same aspect ratio
