Rubbish.

And any reading of the Apple Dev Forums will find many messages from Apple engineers telling you NOT to do that, NOT to guess, NOT to make assumptions based on what you think identifiers are or are going to be and to stick to the API points there are. They also ask people file bug reports with use cases about why one might need the physical device screen size, which I have done.
