7Plus won't rotate in ZOOMED

A feature then. Apple support didn't ask me if I had Zoomed on when I called. They said sometimes it gets stuck and try a Restart or Reset. Reset apeeared to work as it reset to Standard view and rotate worked. As soon as I went back to Zoomed. It froze in portrait.
Shame it's a feature as I was hoping for bug fix. Wonder why it can't rotate or why Apple would think people who like Zoomed mode would not want screen to rotate?

It's not that someone wouldn't want to rotate, it's that they don't have rotation worked out for that type of view basically, kind of like it is in the non-Plus iPhone versions (as zoomed view essentially makes it more or less the equivalent of that in that sense).
And non-plus screens all rotate. Zoomed and Rotation should be two seperate issues and functions. That Zoomed is only available 50%(?) of the time sure seems like a bug...or just lazy programming.
I got the Plus because I wanted the zoomed view, my 6s screen in a slightly larger view.
Still no warning about it when activating and Apple support never asked if I had Zoomed on, you'd think that would be the firsts question.
The 7 plus will not change to landscape mode while set on "zoomed" mode. I'm unsure if that is an iOS 10 bug, but it is known that it won't work.

More a lack of good design but nothing is perfect and the plus overall design serves its purpose with the bigger display.
