Another unique feature about this was being able to connect to an Apple TV via Airplay and then having the entire tv be filled up instead of partially filling the screen up like the more modern iPhones.

Apple is a walled garden, easy to use but more limited. Android and Windows are Las Vegas, there’s practically no limit to what you can find on them but it takes more effort to learn to use well. Also there’s a lot more of trial and error trying to get something to work right on your particular device. I like a mix of Apple and non-Apple. Apple phone, Apple tablet, Windows laptop, Windows gaming PC. I want my phone to be reliable and don’t care to do too much variety on it. I want to do whatever I feel like on my laptop. Also I find Apple handhelds link better to Windows PCs than Android handhelds link to Apple computers. So my iPad can transition to a second monitor for my laptop while getting all my notifications from both OSes on it, and then turn into an iPad and clear off my desk space when I’m done using it as a monitor.
@Hasan Piker I disagree, I won't use a crapple, but it is a feature on my Samsungs that bugs me too. Crapple offers Very limited choices with Extreme overpricing.

When I had an iPhone 6s Plus, I thought the ability to rotate the home screen was neat. The widget issue could be eventually solved. A good example is responsive web design. With HTML5 and CSS3, a flexible grid system allows you to rotate content with each individual element taking up one resizable column, making websites work in any orientation and device width.
Yeah, but Apple does care about aesthetics, so shrinking anything to fit doesn't sound like an interest of theirs, but I did post a comment with a possible solution. Here's to hoping we see it.
Because at this point, apple can really only give us incremental updates from year to year and they know this. So they roll features out at a slower pace which usually also results in the feature being nicely polished and implemented well since they weren’t rushing it out

Because I would go out of everything just to access iTunes because I had a drivers playlist for softer songs. And when I just finished watching another video about possibly moving the Face ID to the side of ipad pros and the face the 13 pro max allows you to do Face ID when your face and phone aren’t vertical at the same time. I think it’s out already. Could be a 16 thing, but still. I thought maybe it’ll come back. The battery percentage is. To taketh away only to provideth back. Yes my child. I smiled.
I really hope that iOS 16 will have a landscape display mode. It would make life a lot easier for iPhone 13 and (soon) 14 users who want to run the phone in Landscape mode.
They really need to bring this back. So many times, I curse them for getting rid of it while using my phone in landscape. It's so annoying to have to constantly switch back and forth or deal with a sideways homescreen. Especially considering the screen sizes have only gotten bigger, the phones have become more and more useable in landscape mode, with the SOLE EXCEPTION of that damn non-rotating homescreen.
Well, it's not always that simple. It maps our face at a certain orientation, with the sensors at a certain orientation, to pick up many facial features in 3D. Turning the sensor alignment sideways could very well affect it's horizontal depth perception.
As an Apple developer who uses the iOS 16 beta, there is a new feature, where if you have an iPhone 13 or newer, you can unlock your phone with Face ID in landscape mode. I can see Apple, adding the landscape mode lock screen back into play in the full release. Or at least in a later bug fix.
@ 1:42 it's actually not hard to fit all those widgets on the landscape mode. Instead of spreading out the single apps keep them in the same scare grouping. Then it fits perfectly in landscape or horizontal modes
FaceID in landscape was actually supported already on iPhone 11 devices because if you ever used Apple Pay, you could have the phone at awkward angles to make some contact with NFC terminal and Face ID would work often. Once in awhile you’d have to use the PIN code but FaceID was working in landscape mode on IPhone 11 gen devices. I think Apple just prioritized other features and bug fixes.
I knew the widgets to be an issue, as if you remove all your widgets on plus model iPhones with home buttons, the rotation works. I propose a solution: A switch in settings. If they flip the switch to turn on HS rotation, a pop-up could say "please disable widgets to use this" or something. Even better, if you flip the switch, give users the option to then choose locations of widgets/apps/folders per page in both orientations. that way, the user could decide where everything would slide to when rotated. all only if the user wanted to enable it, that is.
Apple already has a restriction that you just can’t use widgets if you want depth effect Lock Screen wallpapers. They could do the same for landscape mode. Plus there’s a million ways they could solve this. • move apps onto the next page (and so on) • only allow landscape with square widgets • have rectangle widgets switch to their square form • only allow on plus/max models and scale the icon size And so on
more landscape options are allways welcome because the screen size is big multi tasking is posible with it, some basic apps support such actions like settings, messenger and its pretty neat, i can't wait for ios 16 because 99% of the time i want to unlock my device horizontally not vertically more options in time are welcome, such as more split screen or even multi tasking opening 2 apps at once on same display landscape mode but maybe that option will be only for iphone fold.
@hit me up on @Apple explained i don't need anything, find someone else who does. im just enjoying true content on yt and this happend to be one of my fav channels.
As an android user I have always turned off the rotate mode cause I find it annoying af and now when I'm gonna try an iphone I'm glad that it's just gone all toghether
Face ID could work in any orientation, Apple just doesn't implement it on the iPhone. Pro Max models are getting near iPad mini size wise, so that would makes sense for the user, but it doesn't make sense for Apple's bottom line.
I absolutely hate that it doesn't do this anymore. It's flat out dangerous when for one reason or another you exit the map app while driving in a car or when riding a bike.
Home screen rotation is being missed, especially when you game or watch a video and just don’t wanna rotate between apps that doesn’t support land escape. That being said the keyboard could be functional too if used one handed (from left or right) while on land escape mode not to pop up from the bottom of screen and squeeze the screen.
I'm thinking it may have something to do with the orientation of the depth sensors and how it maps your face, as orienting the sensors sideways could affect perception.
If I recall correctly, iPad Pros do unlock properly using Face ID in landscape mode. Since the iPad's Face ID is more similar to iPhone models before 13, I suspect that previous Face ID hardwares are capable, but apple decided to limit the availability of such features for the customers to get newer devices. Time will tell.
They should do the same with the lock screen, I'm in iOS 16's latest beta and that look-screen in vertical has issues. Physical, mental, spiritual, and psychological issues.
The example widget layout shown looks like it would have been quite easy to rearrange. There may be some more problematic layouts possible, though I suspect that one way of resolving this would be to selectively shrink any that cannot be made to fit down to a smaller version. App icons could easily be moved to fill any other free space.
0:18 Its still available as long as you dont have any widgets on your lockscreen. (I know cause i have an iphone 8 plus on ios 15) How did you overlook such a glaring error??
Why don't we use multiple apps same time in iOS Where Android has floating window mini app on popup ft. Which utilizes the productivity and convenience
I still have this feature and I’m on ios 15 (iPhone 7 plus I believe), but in my opinion I’ve found landscape mode to be kinda annoying, I see that people are sad that it was removed and I understand why, but I wonder if just me that finds it annoying or others can agree
For me I kinda find it annoying too. But landscape helps even if you are in the car using navigation. I am using iPhone SE 2020 and the Home Screen cannot rotate. When I am using message apps. it rotates.
I also noticed you said ‘you believe’ it’s a 7 plus. One way to confirm it’s a 7+ is if the back is aluminum and the home key is touch only. That narrows it all the way down.
iPads also have screens upwards of 3x the largest iPhone, of course they have more flexibility. Not giving Apple excuses because we all certainly deserve landscape mode on the iPhones.
I don’t buy it. The first reason is nonsense. When you see the iPad Pro with the “notch”, the Face ID can worked in landscape mode pretty well. That means the Face ID actually have the ability to recognize face in landscape mode but Apple wouldn’t want to release this function to current iPhones. Maybe iPhone14 or 15 will be featuring “hey! Face ID now can unlock your iPhone in landscape mode” and charge you a more expensive price for that “new” feature.
Honestly, outside of watching videos/movies, I use my phone primarily in portrait mode. On very rare occasions, I will rotate a web page to make something bigger. Other than that, it’s a terrible experience.
I wish I could disable all rotation besides video. Its also stupid as hell that the navigation bar or whatever its called rotates with the screen. An element like that should be in the same place every time.
But both of these things work fine on the iPad. FaceID works in landscape. And widgets just reconfigure themselves and the OS stores two layouts for the icons. So in essence, they could easily bring it back in future phones. If they feel it's important enough. I personally rarely use my phone in landscape just because not everything works.
Yeah. I love how Apple users just try to justify everything. They got rid of it because they decided that. Every companies does that even your beloved one: Microsoft, Google, Amazon, every one.
New video topic: Why do cheaper iPhones use wireless charging? If they don't use wireless charging they can literally drop the price of cheaper iPhones down efficiently.
Because they use the housing of a wireless charging compatible iPhone( the 8), so adding it just costs the amount the coil cost to produce, removing the feature would mean the assembly lines would need modifying greatly increasing production costs The se is cheap because the flagship launch of the 8 paid for the infrastructure needed to make them, meaning Apple didn’t have to pay as much of the cost associated involved in launching a new product And when it comes to mid tier such as the iPhone13 non pro, they have to build the infrastructure regardless so the small copper coil is a tiny fraction of the overall expense, most likely costing fractions of a percentage in the overall cost to build
It’d be really nice if our phones could stop relying entirely on the accelerometer for screen orientation and start looking at our face to see what orientation it should be in.
6.5 years later and Apple still can't figure out face ID in landscape on iPhone 🤣. Joke company for phones. My iPad Pro tablet & Pixel 8a phone can do this no problem 🤷♂️
quick correction: You said "prior to ios 14", I got out my old iphone 8 plus that's on ios 14.5.1 and it can rotate. More corrections: Face id works fine if you hold your phone sideways so that is not the reason it was removed. (atleast on newer devices) If it does not work on older devices it's due to incompetence since its not hard to rotate the face it scans or just ignore rotation altogether.
In iPhone 7 Plus and 8 plus models as long as you don’t add widgets you would still be able to rotate the Home Screen in landscape mode. I think Apple could still put that feature to today’s iPhones as well. Square widgets won’t be a problem but the rectangle widgets would cause confusion to layout on the landscape mode. So if customers add rectangular widgets to the Home Screen it would disable landscape mode when place the phone horizontally.
I love the landscape Face ID on iOS 16 because when I’m using my computer and my phone is propped up on the monitor and if it turns off I don’t have to turn my head sideways
I’ve recently heard that the following iPhone models who are in notch has finally able to use face ID horizontally with the upcoming iOS 16. Now it’s about time!
Good explanation!! I really want the Home Screen to rotate. I have recently returned back to Max sized phone since Apple forced iP15 users to Max if they want the best camera. But am really frustrated with one handed operations. If Apple is going to force us to use oversized phones, they need to work seriously on features that make doing so possible with one hand.
Hopefully they fix this. The Face ID issue seems minor (speaking as a programmer). And let us choose. When using phone for drone or other landscape uses having to rotate to get to settings and other apps is a royal pain.
My iPhone XS was recently destroyed in an accident, so I’m on a loaner iPhone 7 Plus right now. The rotation is nice, they really should reintroduce it for iOS 17! I know my 7 Plus will NOT get iOS 16 but I WILL get a 14 Pro as soon as I can!
IPadOS has already solved this, though iPads do have larger screens anyways which makes rotating widgets easier. The solution is quite simple, remember what the user has the horizontal and vertical layout set as, rather than using the vertical layout to determine the horizontal one. When I first set up widgets on my iPad and rotated it, some of the widgets moved when put in horizontal. Then I just moved the widgets back to where I wanted them in horizontal mode. Now, whenever I rotate my iPad between vertical and horizontal, it rotates more seamlessly.
This feature exists on iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 8 Plus phones on the latest iOS versions. So not sure why you’re saying iOS removed it. It just depends on the phone model.
I've had an iPhone since December after switching from an S9 Plus and I'm going to say I never really noticed they don't flip secondly I'm happy they don't because it's just better that way and I know you're going to explain it in Greater detail but Apple made the right call
This is the easiest channel ever. All the guy does is speculate logically. No one’s got the time to prove or disprove, but we all love the speculations for entertainment.
I've been using iPhones for the last 14 years now and I never knew it could rotate the home screen into landscape! The apps - yes, but not the home screen)
such an easy. simple solution to both problems. simply just add an option to make a new facescan for rotated holding, and let you customize your vetical widgets, and landscape widgets seperatley. so simple
Me: “I wonder why the iPhone no longer lets you use the Home Screen in landscape mode…” (Goes to TH-cam, sees this video on the front page) Me: “Haha!”
Maybe it’s just a New Zealand thing but I have had iPhones since 2009. I have all of my old iPhones still . seven of them so far. None of them have ever flipped over to landscape on the home screen .
1:37 you can literally fit them all there, move the weather to the op the clock bottom left next to the calendar and arrange the apps into a square instead of row. it really shouldn't be hard for apple of all company's to figure that out. also people are willing to sacrifice face id in portrait mode if we have to, we wouldn't mind
iPads can currently switch between landscape and portrait while rotating around the widgets, they sure know how do do it just haven’t implement it yet
To be fair ipad has a lot more screen to fit the widgets either way
Lol ipads have more screen than iPhones!
@@dropr1662 yes, but it does manage to shift apps in a way that it fits the screen rotation

@Me for the phones right? Cuz I thought I saw that on something
They could've kept the rotating feature if you only have square widgets on your home screen. Square widgets can rotate just fine.
It's Apple. Don't expect to have options.
And even rectangular widgets could simply switch how the information was shown (the widget would be stable and just the content on the widget would suffer a change - when in landscape the information on rectangular widgets could be on vertical)

Home screen rotation is being missed, especially when you game or watch a video and just don’t wanna rotate between apps that doesn’t support land escape.
That being said the keyboard could be functional too if used one handed (from left or right) while on land escape mode not to pop up from the bottom of screen and squeeze the screen.
It's still mind boggling that Face ID doesn't work in landscape mode.
it does in the ios 16 beta
It always works…on iPad.
@TheInsane101 always report those comments.
It does works in iOS 16
I'm thinking it may have something to do with the orientation of the depth sensors and how it maps your face, as orienting the sensors sideways could affect perception.
I like how Face ID now works in landscape mode on the iPhone 14. I hope landscape home screen comes back.
Apple really has to bring the landscape Home Screen back
Face id now works also horizontally.
iOS 16 is bringing Landscape Face ID to iPhones. Does that mean landscape Home Screen is coming back?
No
If I recall correctly, iPad Pros do unlock properly using Face ID in landscape mode. Since the iPad's Face ID is more similar to iPhone models before 13, I suspect that previous Face ID hardwares are capable, but apple decided to limit the availability of such features for the customers to get newer devices. Time will tell.
They should do the same with the lock screen, I'm in iOS 16's latest beta and that look-screen in vertical has issues. Physical, mental, spiritual, and psychological issues.
@hit me up on @Apple explained This is fake!!! It is Apple Explained not this one.
The example widget layout shown looks like it would have been quite easy to rearrange. There may be some more problematic layouts possible, though I suspect that one way of resolving this would be to selectively shrink any that cannot be made to fit down to a smaller version. App icons could easily be moved to fill any other free space.
Landscape mode is still available on iOS 15, only doesn’t work when you have widgets on the screen. How can such an error in the video be overlooked?
Watch the Full Video
Please make video on , “ Why they removed Favourite Contacts from widget? “
it was much handy feature to call people without searching in contact list
0:18 Its still available as long as you dont have any widgets on your lockscreen. (I know cause i have an iphone 8 plus on ios 15) How did you overlook such a glaring error??
he talks about it later in the video
Why don't we use multiple apps same time in iOS
Where Android has floating window mini app on popup ft.
Which utilizes the productivity and convenience
I still have this feature and I’m on ios 15 (iPhone 7 plus I believe), but in my opinion I’ve found landscape mode to be kinda annoying, I see that people are sad that it was removed and I understand why, but I wonder if just me that finds it annoying or others can agree
same
For me I kinda find it annoying too. But landscape helps even if you are in the car using navigation. I am using iPhone SE 2020 and the Home Screen cannot rotate. When I am using message apps. it rotates.
Looking back on my 8 plus. It was useful when you needed it. The other 93% of the time I only had landscape Home Screen on accident 😆📱
I also noticed you said ‘you believe’ it’s a 7 plus. One way to confirm it’s a 7+ is if the back is aluminum and the home key is touch only. That narrows it all the way down.
iPad Pro have had landscape faceId for years now, and even widgets that work in landscape as well.
iPads also have screens upwards of 3x the largest iPhone, of course they have more flexibility. Not giving Apple excuses because we all certainly deserve landscape mode on the iPhones.
The funny thing is how the iPads can do landscape Face ID and have been able to since 2018.
yeah Face ID on iPad can do no matter how you rotate the device
I don’t buy it. The first reason is nonsense. When you see the iPad Pro with the “notch”, the Face ID can worked in landscape mode pretty well. That means the Face ID actually have the ability to recognize face in landscape mode but Apple wouldn’t want to release this function to current iPhones.
Maybe iPhone14 or 15 will be featuring “hey! Face ID now can unlock your iPhone in landscape mode” and charge you a more expensive price for that “new” feature.
Honestly, outside of watching videos/movies, I use my phone primarily in portrait mode. On very rare occasions, I will rotate a web page to make something bigger. Other than that, it’s a terrible experience.
I wish I could disable all rotation besides video. Its also stupid as hell that the navigation bar or whatever its called rotates with the screen. An element like that should be in the same place every time.
My 14 Pro unlocks in landscape without issue
The widget argument is not that great because the iPad is able to rotate the homescreen with widgets on it.
Well I can understand it with rectangular widgets, but surely if you only had square ones...
Still works great, iPhone 8 Plus iOS 16.0.2 just make sure your not in zoomed view mode.
But both of these things work fine on the iPad. FaceID works in landscape. And widgets just reconfigure themselves and the OS stores two layouts for the icons. So in essence, they could easily bring it back in future phones. If they feel it's important enough. I personally rarely use my phone in landscape just because not everything works.
iPad displays are not iPhone displays. You cannot directly compare the two.
Funny, because this feature is still present on my 14.7 8+. Oh, and it also still has Widgets on the home screen and I can still rotate it.
Maybe they didn't disable on touch id phones
I use rotating home on my Galaxy Note all the time. My widgets all adapt to the landscape layout without issue.
Yeah. I love how Apple users just try to justify everything. They got rid of it because they decided that. Every companies does that even your beloved one: Microsoft, Google, Amazon, every one.
Thanks a lot for explaining. I was confused why my phone's home screen rotate doesnt working. Now i get it. Widgets is the reason. Thanks again!
The widget argument doesn't stand. The iPad also has widgets and landscape also works
The widget argument stands with the title of the video :)
Bro, the iPad has a bigger screen. So, it has some room for the animations while rotating the iPad.
But the iPhone is just a very narrow rectangle.
Bummer. I miss that feature.
New video topic: Why do cheaper iPhones use wireless charging? If they don't use wireless charging they can literally drop the price of cheaper iPhones down efficiently.
Because they use the housing of a wireless charging compatible iPhone( the 8), so adding it just costs the amount the coil cost to produce, removing the feature would mean the assembly lines would need modifying greatly increasing production costs
The se is cheap because the flagship launch of the 8 paid for the infrastructure needed to make them, meaning Apple didn’t have to pay as much of the cost associated involved in launching a new product
And when it comes to mid tier such as the iPhone13 non pro, they have to build the infrastructure regardless so the small copper coil is a tiny fraction of the overall expense, most likely costing fractions of a percentage in the overall cost to build
I really miss the landscape feature. It was very helpful
Back in 2012, I had a Nokia C6-01 with symbian Belle OS, it always managed to rearrange the widgets on the home screen, what a shame Apple.
Man… I almost forgot about this channel. I was addicted to my new ps.
@hit me up on @Apple explained yeah right. Fake channel
It’d be really nice if our phones could stop relying entirely on the accelerometer for screen orientation and start looking at our face to see what orientation it should be in.
HTC have that feature before they shut down years ago 🤣🤣🤣
they do have it on i pad and it is possible to be introduced in i phoes as well
6.5 years later and Apple still can't figure out face ID in landscape on iPhone 🤣. Joke company for phones. My iPad Pro tablet & Pixel 8a phone can do this no problem 🤷♂️
That’s diabolical
i wish this feature is added again especially for the pro max iphones and the plus iphones
6 more hours to become 9:41
HOW 11:35:19
quick correction: You said "prior to ios 14", I got out my old iphone 8 plus that's on ios 14.5.1 and it can rotate.
More corrections: Face id works fine if you hold your phone sideways so that is not the reason it was removed. (atleast on newer devices) If it does not work on older devices it's due to incompetence since its not hard to rotate the face it scans or just ignore rotation altogether.
Because God has abandoned us.
I miss this.
In iPhone 7 Plus and 8 plus models as long as you don’t add widgets you would still be able to rotate the Home Screen in landscape mode. I think Apple could still put that feature to today’s iPhones as well. Square widgets won’t be a problem but the rectangle widgets would cause confusion to layout on the landscape mode. So if customers add rectangular widgets to the Home Screen it would disable landscape mode when place the phone horizontally.
I love the landscape Face ID on iOS 16 because when I’m using my computer and my phone is propped up on the monitor and if it turns off I don’t have to turn my head sideways
Wow, I didn't know about the new landscape face ID feature in iOS 16.
I’ve recently heard that the following iPhone models who are in notch has finally able to use face ID horizontally with the upcoming iOS 16. Now it’s about time!
The thing with Face ID is that,the iPads can read your face even when rotated so they don’t have an excuse
Good explanation!! I really want the Home Screen to rotate. I have recently returned back to Max sized phone since Apple forced iP15 users to Max if they want the best camera. But am really frustrated with one handed operations. If Apple is going to force us to use oversized phones, they need to work seriously on features that make doing so possible with one hand.
I loved this feature on my iPhone 7+ & 8+, I was bummed when it went away, but that would be cool if it came back
Don’t forget to mention that most Apps don’t have vertical support, for example: Facebook, insta, TH-cam…
No one uses facebook
@@arkvsi8142 hmm well ask the 1 billion active Facebook users every day
@@denissssss8579 They are considered cattle by facebook
Hopefully they fix this. The Face ID issue seems minor (speaking as a programmer). And let us choose. When using phone for drone or other landscape uses having to rotate to get to settings and other apps is a royal pain.
What a unique title
My iPhone XS was recently destroyed in an accident, so I’m on a loaner iPhone 7 Plus right now. The rotation is nice, they really should reintroduce it for iOS 17! I know my 7 Plus will NOT get iOS 16 but I WILL get a 14 Pro as soon as I can!
IPadOS has already solved this, though iPads do have larger screens anyways which makes rotating widgets easier.
The solution is quite simple, remember what the user has the horizontal and vertical layout set as, rather than using the vertical layout to determine the horizontal one.
When I first set up widgets on my iPad and rotated it, some of the widgets moved when put in horizontal. Then I just moved the widgets back to where I wanted them in horizontal mode. Now, whenever I rotate my iPad between vertical and horizontal, it rotates more seamlessly.
One of my top requested features
This feature exists on iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 8 Plus phones on the latest iOS versions. So not sure why you’re saying iOS removed it. It just depends on the phone model.
It’s only really removed on north iPhones, or Plus iPhones WITH HOME SCREEN WIDGETS
I've had an iPhone since December after switching from an S9 Plus and I'm going to say I never really noticed they don't flip secondly I'm happy they don't because it's just better that way and I know you're going to explain it in Greater detail but Apple made the right call
This is the easiest channel ever. All the guy does is speculate logically.
No one’s got the time to prove or disprove, but we all love the speculations for entertainment.
I can still use it with my iPhone 8 plus!! :)
just watching your videos to listen to this beautiful background music
I've been using iPhones for the last 14 years now and I never knew it could rotate the home screen into landscape! The apps - yes, but not the home screen)
such an easy. simple solution to both problems. simply just add an option to make a new facescan for rotated holding, and let you customize your vetical widgets, and landscape widgets seperatley. so simple
Me: “I wonder why the iPhone no longer lets you use the Home Screen in landscape mode…”
(Goes to TH-cam, sees this video on the front page)
Me: “Haha!”
I could listen to his voice all day.
Maybe it’s just a New Zealand thing but I have had iPhones since 2009. I have all of my old iPhones still . seven of them so far. None of them have ever flipped over to landscape on the home screen .
1:37 you can literally fit them all there, move the weather to the op the clock bottom left next to the calendar and arrange the apps into a square instead of row. it really shouldn't be hard for apple of all company's to figure that out. also people are willing to sacrifice face id in portrait mode if we have to, we wouldn't mind
