Update Apple device mappings #68258
Description
We use (at least two) different sources to map Apple device models (e.g. iPhone15,3) to device model names (e.g. iPhone 14 Pro Max) and to resolve device classes (low/med/high) per model:
- core
ios-device-list.tsx- this is used to map device models (e.g.
iPhone15,3) to device model names (e.g.iPhone 14 Pro Max) for the frontend - until ~2022 this was automatically updated by a script which in turn uses a node module as data source
- this node module is not maintained anymore, so we need to
- perform updates manually or find another data source (though I didn't find a suitable one in a quick search) or
- fork/contribute to the node module
- this is used to map device models (e.g.
profilingdevice.py- deprecated and replaced, see belowthis is updated manuallythis includes both device name mapping and heuristics do determine device class based on hardware specs
- profiling
ios_models.py- file renamed from the above when device classification was removed in chore(profiling): Clean device classification code #82139)
- this is updated manually
- this includes only the device name mapping for profiling
- for device classes, profiling now uses relay (see below)
- relay
device_class.rs- this is now used to map device models (e.g.
iPhone15,3) to device classes directly, so doesn't rely on device name mapping
- this is now used to map device models (e.g.
Docs:
- this page details how Mobile devices are mapped to device classes, so it needs to be updated along with any device class mapping changes
