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

Is there a particular benefit to lock orientation?

Hi Johnna:

Put your finger on one of the items in the status bar.  Then swipe up with 
three fingers from the bottom of the screen.  The control center will open.
Now swipe right to you get to the lock rotation button.  Double tap to lock it 
if it is unlocked.
