It turns out that screen coordinates were confusing people, thinking that meant pixels, when instead they are virtual coordinates; device independent units defined as pixels scaled by the display scale. We'll use the term "points" for this going forward, to reduce confusion.
This fixes rounding errors with coordinate scaling and gives more flexibility in the presentation, as well as making it easy to maintain device independent resolution as windows move between different pixel density displays.
By default when a renderer is created, it will match the window size so window coordinates and render coordinates are 1-1.
Mouse and touch events are no longer filtered to change their coordinates, instead you can call SDL_ConvertEventToRenderCoordinates() to explicitly map event coordinates into the rendering viewport.
SDL_RenderWindowToLogical() and SDL_RenderLogicalToWindow() have been renamed SDL_RenderCoordinatesFromWindow() and SDL_RenderCoordinatesToWindow() and take floating point coordinates in both directions.
The viewport, clipping state, and scale for render targets are now persistent and will remain set whenever they are active.
Feedback from @icculus:
"IsTablet" uses "is" as a form of "to be" ...like, the actual question is of its nature.
The rest is just a superfluous word in the question and it flows as better English with if (RectEmpty) than if (IsRectEmpty)
Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/6932
Also adjusted iOS demo's includes to <SDL3/..> and explicit SDL_main.h
untested, I don't have Xcode (or a Mac, for that matter)
The xcode projects (for both Xcode-iOS/ and Xcode/) will probably
have to be adjusted for the SDL_main changes to work, but now at least
the iOS demo source should work as is :)

the numbering of the bulletpoints in:
docs/README-ios.md
has been mangled with:
changeset 11365 efd3bc8e5a9b
fix:
12 2. Open SDL.xcodeproj (located in Xcode-iOS/SDL) in Xcode.
13 4. Select your desired target, and hit build.
remove:
28 1. Follow step 1 above.
adapt:
29 2. cd (PATH WHERE THE SDL CODE IS)/build-scripts
30 3. ./iosbuild.sh
Note that extra steps must be taken when using glReadPixels to read the contents of the main OpenGL ES framebuffer on iOS, if multisampling is used. See the OpenGL ES section of README-ios.md for details.
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
