Comment (by felipou):

 I also believe the correct treatment is to detect the 'Orientation'
 metadata and rotate the image accordingly.

 I stumbled upon this issue recently when programming an app for Mac OS.

 I really don't know why they use such a complicated way to rotate images.
 It's also how my Canon camera handles rotation.

 I found some documentation about what each orientation value means in the
 following sites:

 (look for 'kCGImagePropertyOrientation' here)
 https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/graphicsimaging/reference/CGImageProperties_Reference/Reference/reference.html

 I also found these two plugins that handle this for Wordpress (the first
 one didn't work for me on version 3.9.2):

 https://wordpress.org/plugins/image-rotation-fixer/

 https://wordpress.org/plugins/image-rotation-repair/

 Hope this helps! :)
