Summary:
I've found bugs in iOS 8 (18054367) and iOS 10 (26864289) that would have been impossible to catch in the iOS simulator, because they are only triggered by 180° device rotation. The simulator should enable 180° rotation, in addition to Rotate Left and Rotate Right, in order to facilitate catching bugs like this in our apps and yours.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Develop an iOS app (or iOS itself).
2. Test your work by using the iOS simulator.
3. Try to test for bugs that might be caused by rotating the device 180° without passing through 90° or -90°.

Expected Results:
There is a mechanism to rotate the simulator 180°.

Actual Results:
There is no such mechanism. You must rotate twice left or twice right, which masks the bugs mentioned above.

Version:
Xcode 8.0 beta (8S128d)
