| Mar 20, 2019 at 5:36 | comment | added | Russell Borogove | @KevinFee The iPhone can lock into always-portrait orientation, which is useful for reading while laying on your side. It used to be a rotation lock like the iPad; I have no idea why they changed to portrait-only locking. | |
| Jun 9, 2017 at 17:00 | comment | added | Kevin Fee | It's a normal feature. I have my iPad set up that way, too. It's in settings, general, "Use Side Switch to..." and select "Lock Rotation". It's only on the iPad, though, the iPhone doesn't have that feature. | |

+1 This is great, thanks! An official NASA source with just the info I was looking for. So do you know if this is a special OS configuration for the ISS, or is this a normal (but perhaps hidden) feature within the OS, for everyone?
