iphone 6 plus rotation problem

I am having problems with my new iPhone 6 plus. The phones screen sometimes does not rotate when I rotate in landscape mode, and sometimes it does. It seems like a software bug, and I hope its not a hardware problem. Also sometimes the icons rotate 180 degrees [it flips] and its stuck like that for a while. The odd thing is Safari does not rotate with it. So when I open a webpage the page bottom is near the thumb sensor, but the icons are upside down. Which makes me think it most likely is a software problem, but not sure.


Anyone experiencing this problem, any solutions yet?

Mine was replaced and I didn't have another problem - until I dunked it in the toilette. The next one has also been trouble free.


While there's a lot of people that are convinced it's a software issue I think you'd see a much larger number of people complaining if that were the case since software would effect every phone. The fact that it's a limited number of people and that the replacement phones have fixed the problem seems to indicate that this is a hardware issue. Try replacing the phone - now, while you're under the warranty.
