| Jul 8 at 19:22 | comment | added | Chris H | @AustinHemmelgarn I thought it might be something like that. I'd actually try something similar to the OP in the cradle in my van, because the plug on my long charging cable tends to fall out on rough roads. | |
| Jul 8 at 17:04 | comment | added | Austin Hemmelgarn | @ChrisH Probably because Android itself does not consider this a valid device orientation (that is, anything past the trip point for landscape orientation counts as landscape, up until 180 degrees where it flips to the other landscape orientation). Which, in turn, kind explains why many apps that support both platforms would not support this orientation, it would add yet another edge case that differs between the two platforms, for very little practical benefit (the very specific example in the question is just about the only case I would ever thing anybody is likely to care about this). | |

| Jul 8 at 15:43 | comment | added | return true | @VanitySlug-codidact.com In most (> 90%) iPhone apps that I've seen so far, this option is not supported by the developer, i.e. they declared that they don't want the app to rotate 180°. Which is a really good choice in my opinion because iPhones do not have a landscape-orientation-lock. So in this case, it's not Apple to blame. | |

| Jul 8 at 14:15 | comment | added | stopkillinggames.com | "iOS does not permit this orientation on iPhones with Face ID" you've got to be kidding... So newer technologies are downgrading your phone into being less useful. I am sticking with SEs for as long as I can. | |
