I always lock orientation because I have no vision and never want it flipping to landscape because I tilted the phone. With VoiceOver, if you are reading an email, or a web page, etc., and happen to tilt the phone, reading is interrupted by it switching to landscape mode. Also, for apps like Netflix that show movies in landscape orientation, locking the screen orientation has no impact on them. HTH, Richard
