Landscape Home screen for iphone 6

Seems odd that iPhone 6 homescreen doesn't natively do landscape mode.

This is a fairly annoying non-feature. For example if you use your phone in landscape mode, say as a GPS, and have it in landscape mode then need to go to the home screen everything is sideways,,, not very convenient to read small text that way or decipher how your seeing things. Droid had this taken care of early and no doubt there will be aftermarket tweaks that someone will come up with on the app store to resolve the void left.

Would like to know why Apple left that feature out of the non-plus model? seems like it should be an intuitively natural feature.

Just my 2 cents and question to the devs.

I was not responding to you regarding the personal attack, so you might want to check to see who people are responding to. That is listed in the response. If you are having trouble with your devices, I asked you what troubleshooting you have tried. I'm not sure what rebooting, etc. means. If nothing is working in landscape mode either the orientation lock is on, or you need to restore your device. If the phone does not operate correctly after restoring as new and then testing before adding any additional content to it, then it very well could be a hardware issue.

Looks like I've got hardware issues with my phone. It will not go into landscape at all. and also the gyroscope feature does not work. Compass, racing games that require tile to steer.. nothing working. I'll take to apple this weekend 😠

There, now you have isolated it to a hardware issue. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar and they will handle it.
