Getting width/height of the device screen

Question

Is there a way in Objective-C to quickly get the width and height of the screen of the device I am in?

I tried doing:

CGRect deviceDimension = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];

However in an iPad landscape mode it still gives me 768 as the width and 1024 as the height. Any other idea? Or do I have to just use a macro? Basically I am trying to find a way to replace the following macro:

#ifdef IPHONE

#define SCREEN_WIDTH_PORTRAIT 320
#define SCREEN_WIDTH_LANDSCAPE 480

#else

#define SCREEN_WIDTH_PORTRAIT 768
#define SCREEN_WIDTH_LANDSCAPE 1024

#endif

Combine that with

 if (UIDeviceOrientationIsLandscape( [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation] )) { }

to distinguish 768x1024 from 1024x768.

See the comment from Richard J. Ross III below.

~~You could do it like this:~~

- (CGSize)screenSizeWithRotation
{
    return CGSizeMake(CGRectGetWidth(self.view.bounds), CGRectGetHeight(self.view.bounds));
}
