   This is exactly the sort of software that was hard to prioritise before LLMs, and trivial to build with LLMs.

   There's nothing interesting going on here, and I don't mean that as a criticism. There's a clear schema, no particularly clever UX needed, you can build almost all of this out of standard UI components, and the problem is well defined.

   The only challenge is the actual time input for coding, and that's mostly gone today.

      I bought an iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the photos I take get saved upside down. I need to crop each photo I take, rotating it back to the correct position - before I can send it to friends and family. This happens despite restarts, factory resets, all sorts of messing around. This is apparently an a know issue, affecting multiple iPhone models, for years now. This is a 1300$ piece of hardware. They can't prioritize any software, pre or post LLMs... sheer absurdity.

         Same model, it never does what you're saying... what could it be? hardware issue? Gyroscope?

            No, it's just that they're in Australia.

            The stack is so complex now that the experience/bugs experienced are different to different users. Fun time to debug these bugs probably.

         If you use a gyroscope test app/page does it have the correct orientation?

            To add to that, since we're thinking the same thing: Do you have rotation lock turned on? If you turn it off, and turn an app like Safari sideways, does it turn the wrong way?

         Steve Jobs would have said that you're just ... "holding it wrong".

         Did you check if the correct exif data is present? Normally, cameras don't rotate the data but place an EXIF attribute to let the viewer know how the data should be presented. If the viewer does not read the EXIF attribute or it is not present, the picture has the wrong orientation. So I would start by finding out if the EXIF data is actually present.

         Nevertheless, this is stuff even LLMs know how to do correctly, so there's no excuse for Apple here.
