Comment (by ephany):

 I haven't been blogging for a while and just noticed this problem a few
 weeks ago, but as I was trying to upload some vacation photos this
 weekend, it went from mildly irritating to a major roadblock.

 The support forum posts I've seen on this are either marked resolved or
 closed without anyone actually providing a solution.

 Examples:

 https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-rotation-issues-and-incorrect-
 mobile-browser-display

 https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uploaded-photos-not-being-
 automatically-rotated-according-to-exif-data?replies=12

 This isn't just an iOS problem since people commenting in those posts
 mention using Android phones as well as Pentax, Nikon Coolpix and Canon
 Powershot.

 Some people suggested using image editing software to fix the image
 orientation before uploading. However my images were already correctly
 oriented viewed in Lightroom, Finder and Preview.

 When I uploaded some photos, they appeared upside down on desktop
 machines, but fine some mobile devices. When I used the WP media editor to
 rotate the images, the display reversed: correct on desktop, flipped on
 mobile.

 I asked via Twitter for a few other people to report what they were
 seeing. [https://storify.com/kronda/wordpress-photo-rotation-bug Here are
 the responses]

 Until this is resolved, I added the [https://wordpress.org/plugins/image-
 rotation-fixer/ image rotation fixer] noted above.
