Incorrect photo orientation on Flickr

“Previous to iOS4 the iPhone used the CPU to orient the picture before saving it so that a rotation was not needed on the viewing end. This rotation is CPU intensive and was one of the reasons for the long save times on iPhone cameras. Modern cameras (Canon, Nikon, etc.) do not do this, they save the image in their native format and set the rotation flag based upon how the image should be viewed. With iOS4 Apple merely joined the ‘modern’ camera world in this respect.”

Aha. That’s the reason my photos show up with incorrect orientation on Flickr and correctly on Tumblr. Laziness on the end of Flickr?
