The Final Orientation

Maybe if I spent more time obsessing over whatever iPhone Secrets websites I could find and less playing Burnout Paradise I would know this already, but I did notice something new (to me) recently — at least one of the built-in applications recognizes all four orientation values. Open up the Photos application, view a photo, and start rotating. As long as you do it slowly enough that it only has to do 90° turns to keep up, it will even follow along correctly — if you make it flip straight from left-side to right-side it will do it through right-side-up, regardless of whether that’s what you actually did.
