Sorry if this was brought up last year. I couldn’t find anything about it. Does anyone else find it strange that the clock/time on iOS is placed in the top left corner of the screen, instead of the right?

I can see how it makes some sense on the iPhone X (and the newer models) if you only consider that device, but macOS and watchOS have always had it placed in the top right corner of their screens. Now that the status bar has been changed on iPad as well, I wonder why they didn’t put it in the top right corner for iOS. It seems obviously inconsistent unless there’s an explanation.
