Today, my iPhone 6 Plus stopped switching to landscape mode and only works in portrait. The glitch is even there when watching a video in, say, the CNN or IGN Apps.
I know the iPad has a switch to lock the screen rotation, but didn't think the phone had this?
Has anyone else had trouble with their new phone being stuck in portrait?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Rotation lock:
Pull up from the bottom of the screen to bring Control Centre up, the top right icon is to toggle Orientation lock ON/OFF
Also make sure Zoom is off.

Ohh my god! That's what that was? Never even noticed that icon, so must have hit it by mistake.
Thank you! I honestly wouldn't have ever noticed that icon without you pointing out the obvious. I feel stupid, but at least it worked out.
You're welcome.
Stupid is when you don't ask.😉
I want to say that the suggested solution did not help me -- that was the first thing I tried by the way. I also have 64GB version of the iPhone 6 Plus and my only solution at this time was to perform a full restart. Hope that help resolve yours.
For me, it was as simple as that lock button, which I'd not noticed before, but yes, a hard restart usually fixes most issues. I did a restart first, so it spooked me when even that didn't work; which is why I posted.
I've also downloaded 8.2 and feel that it has fixed a few bugs I'd noticed. love the phone too. My case finally came, it's the Griffin Reveal; picked it up from that big online retailer.
The Plus has had some tough press for some reason, but I love it!
I've had my phone for about 4 days. It has lock on me several times and will not rotate. I had to use the portrait switch just to keep it in one place, if not I see everything upside down. Glad to se I'm not the only one with this problem. Going to try to contact Apple. Really starting to get annoying.
I do understand your frustration, but we all must be patient when we choose to be early adopters of technology.
HAve you updated the software to iOS 8.2? If not, please try this step first; if the issues persist, then by all means contact Apple.
Good luck!
it still locks up. I have updated my phone to the 8.2 and it still locks up.
Also make sure Zoom is off.
