I got a new iPhone6 Plus and forgot about the Control Center. Go to any screen and then swipe up from the bottom of the screen. Along with various controls you'll see the rotation lock control (lock in a circular arrow). Press on that to lock/unlock rotation. Also, in iPhone 6 Plus rotate only works in Standard view.


If the screen doesn't rotate on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

My wife and I actually got our iPhones at different times, hers at the ATT store on 9/20, mine was ordered from Apple online a week later and shipped direct to me from China. I received it on 10/2 and on 10/4 it would not rotate. If it was a bad batch, then they are still making them that way. We also have occasional problems with them not connecting to wifi, or not finding any wifi networks, and we have to reboot. Reboots always fix it, but my old 4S was on for months without these problems.
