Is [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size becoming orientation-dependent in iOS8?

Question

I ran the following code in both iOS 7 and iOS 8:

UIInterfaceOrientation orientation = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarOrientation];
BOOL landsca

Yes, it's orientation-dependent in iOS8.

Here's how you can have a concistent way of reading out bounds in an iOS 8 fashion across SDK's and OS-versions.

#ifndef NSFoundationVersionNumber_iOS_7_1
# define NSFoundationVersionNumber_iOS_7_1 1047.25
#endif

@implementation UIScreen (Legacy)

// iOS 8 way of returning bounds for all SDK's and OS-versions
- (CGRect)boundsRotatedWithStatusBar
{
    static BOOL isNotRotatedBySystem;
    static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
    dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
        BOOL OSIsBelowIOS8 = [[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] < 8.0;
        BOOL SDKIsBelowIOS8 = floor(NSFoundationVersionNumber) <= NSFoundationVersionNumber_iOS_7_1;
        isNotRotatedBySystem = OSIsBelowIOS8 || SDKIsBelowIOS8;
    });

    BOOL needsToRotate = isNotRotatedBySystem && UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation);
    if(needsToRotate)
    {
        CGRect screenBounds = [self bounds];
        CGRect bounds = screenBounds;
        bounds.size.width = screenBounds.size.height;
        bounds.size.height = screenBounds.size.width;
        return bounds;
    }
    else
    {
        return [self bounds];
    }
}
