Hey All,
Just got my iPhone 6 today, and the first thing I noticed was that the screen will not rotate. I tried the usual by going to the control center, but the Portrait Rotation Lock was already in a disabled state. I toggled on and then back off, still no luck. Tried powering down and back on, still no luck.
Is there something obvious I'm missing?
iPhone 6, iOS 8
This is covered in the manual on page #23:

The Portrait orientation lock icon appears in the status bar when the screen orientation is locked.
To lock / unlock the screen in portrait orientation, swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen to open Control Center, then tap the ROTATE LOCK icon.
I could not find the 'Lock Rotation' feature ANYWHERE in settings on my iPhone 6. It wasn't until I looked more closely at the sub menu (swipe up) and saw on the top, last to the right icon was the lock feature. Now everything works as it should.
I also had this problem. Try switching off ur iPhone/iPad and switching it on again. It works.
Swipe up from the home screen and just as you said there's the icon just waiting to be toggled nothing wrong with Apples programming, just an owners digit problem. Simple
Thanks gumbodog123
easily turned on or off and easy to do inadvertently. It took me a long time to find the answer though . This should be kept at the top of the list
SOLVED!
Worked for me.
