Comment (by henry.wright):

 I'm seeing this problem more and more - I think perhaps due to my site
 visitors moving away from their desktops and towards mobile access.

 Replying to [comment:16 azaozz]:
 > using them [jpegtran and exiftool] would also require PHP's `exec()` to
 be enabled.

 Is PHP's `exec()` usually enabled by default?

 > Another option is to rotate only the resized images leaving the original
 as-is

 Preserve Exif info on the original but obliterate it on resized images?
 Sounds the most logical approach

 > Yet another option would be to rotate the images on display.

 Wouldn't this impact performance?
