An example of this is when the Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus screen doesn’t rotate even on the Internet page and is stuck in the vertical and won’t go horizontal when the camera is moved.

Other issues that have been reported by iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus owners is that the default camera is showing everything upside down (ie, inverted) and all the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus buttons are upside down.
