Had this asked today by a tech friend and it's been ages since I've turned my phone sideways. Maybe for photos and videos here and there, but it stays upright the majority of the time it's in use. How about you?
 
Occasionally a website will show the text larger in landscape, so I'll give it a quick turn instead of fiddling with the text zoom buttons. I occasionally think I'll take advantage of landscape orientation to type on a bigger keyboard, but somehow it never works well for me because, I guess, I've gotten used to the tiny one you see vertical.

Me too. I’m totally used to reading the tiny print on portrait mode.

When i am connecting to my "always on" laptop at home via LTE on my iPhone using team viewer(to do some stuff or to activate downloading, so when i am at home it is already downloaded) or troubleshooting the same way office computers. 4.7'' of se is enough for that for me.
 
Read some websites, PPT presentations and Word documents on the go, some quick video editing...
 
Almost never... maybe if I'm watching a video when I don't have my iPad with me? Does taking pictures in landscape count? :p.
