    What are the units of measure that iOS Shortcuts' "Get Device Details" returns as its output?

    I'm talking specifically about the "Height" and "Width" parameters of the "Get Device Details" action. The pixel dimensions of my device are 1136 x 640, however this action returns 320 x 568. What are 320 and 568 – points, picas, mm?
