You're right, I should have said "screen size" rather than "tablet"
since I'm concerned with metrics. Terry's ratio cut-off of about 1.4 or
so could work. The new iPhone X has a ratio just over 2.0.
I wonder if the text would be too small to read comfortably there.

I think the idea is that if you have enough space for a viable landscape
representation I think you should support it. The line between phone and tablet
is very blurry and according to the rumours even Apple will start to support
landscape multi-column apps on the new phones. Eg. :

I need to determine whether the current mobile device is a tablet or a

the manufacturer's name.
Does anyone know a way to do that?
For screen metrics or device capabilities?
Metrics. I want to allow landcape orientation on tablets but only
portrait for phones.
Phil suggested getting device info, but mobileBuildInfo doesn't return
anything better than "the machine." The server idea doesn't return
specific enough info either if it isn't an i-thing.
Monte mentioned the screenrect, which is what I started with, but it's a
wild guess. Right now I'm using an arbitrary screen pixel width but I
don't think it will work everywhere.
I thought about using a ratio but I'm not sure what would be most
accurate. And I'm not clear on how different resolutions affect it.
