How to get iPhones current orientation?

Question

Is there a special method to get iPhones orientation? I don\'t need it in degrees or radians, I want it to return an UIInterfaceOrientation object. I just need it for an if-else

Answer 1

UIInterfaceOrientation is now deprecated, and UIDeviceOrientation includes UIDeviceOrientationFaceUp and UIDeviceOrientationFaceDown so can't be relied on to give you the interface orientation.

The solution is pretty simple though

if (CGRectGetWidth(self.view.bounds) > CGRectGetHeight(self.view.bounds)) {
    // Landscape
} else {
    // Portrait
}
