iphoneSafeAreaInsets()

[scott at elementarysoftware.com]

Hmm… I had never noticed that mobileOrientation() and mobileDeviceOrientation() are different functions [ it doesn’t help that the documentation for mobileOrientation() seems to mistakenly refer to mobileDeviceOrientation() ] but mobileOrientation() seems like it should, unlike mobileDeviceOrientation(),  always be able to determine which side the notch is on.

I was surprised to see that it reports an inset on both left and right sides when in landscape even though the notch is only on one side. I would have expected an iPhone in landscape to report an inset on the bottom (for the home indicator, which it does report) and on whichever side the notch was actually on. While this can usually be figured out with  mobileDeviceOrientation()  (though not always) it seems like an extra step in addition to just being inaccurate about one side. Am I missing something or should this be a bug?
