About the orientation of iPhone

Question

How to get the current orientation of iPhone? I surfed this site, and found two methods as followings.

• [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation;<

Answer 1

[[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation] gets the current physical orientation of the device. [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation gets the orientation of the UI. If the app ever returns NO to the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: method, the two values will not be the same.
