Get the current device, in a static way

[phimage]

I am wondering if there is any reason why there is no shared instance, like UIDevice could have one named current

Could I PR this? (or you can add it)

extension Device {
    /// Return the current device instance.
    public static let current = Device()
}

ps: static variable seems to be lazy loaded.

You're right, the device the code runs on never changes, right? I'd leave it open and put it as a breaking change in the major next release (together with removing the init? Or is there a use-case where one would need to instantiate the exact same again and again?)

in that case we can do something like this
let copy = Device.current
