Do iPhone videos have an "orientation" flag?

Weird question: do videos shot on the iPhone have an inherent orientation flag -- i.e. something that tells other devices to play it back properly rotated if it was shot landscape versus portrait?

Just had a weird issue with a website for interactive video (Interlude.fm) and i dropped in a bunch of iPhone 6s videos as a test into their web interface; all of them showed up upside-down. I uploaded a ProRes Quicktime that I made in After Effects and it looked normal (right-side up). It may just be an issue with that site, but it made me wonder if there's a "right" way to hold the iPhone when shooting landscape video, and if other platforms besides OS X or iOS could potentially see the video as being upside down.

Anyone else ever see this behavior?
