In this context: iOS 16 seems to have introduced a new behavior in which the gyroscopes of many (all?) iPhone models stay on despite the display is being turned off which leads to frequent unexpected screen rotations after unlocking the phone.
Example:
you're using the phone in portrait
you're locking it and putting it sideways into your pocket
you're pulling it out again
you're unlocking it while holding it relatively flat
and suddenly your last app is in landscape.
This behavior might be related to the new always-on display of iPhone 14 Pro, but in any case I find it super annoying and I can't quite understand why. - Up until iOS 15 the phone didn't care about its orientation while the display was turned off, now I have my last app in landscape n times a day after unlocking the phone.
