The truth is that iPhones and other smartphones are hell-bent on rendering consumer video cameras obsolete with the quality of devices they keep putting out. Most of these phones have taken photography to a whole new level, and users cannot stop appreciating what the manufacturers are unveiling.
However, because you can record a clip with your iPhone positioned horizontally, vertically, or even upside down, users also have to know how to rotate that clip. The good news is that as long as your iPhone is running iOS 13 or later, it is possible to rotate your videos in the Photos app. Not to worry, if you do not have the iOS 13, iMovie can be used.
