If you are one of the new owners of the iPhone 6s, chances are you have already encountered the display bug that is causing apps to show the screen overly zoomed in. The problem mainly occurs when iPhone 5, 5c and 5s owners transfer the content of their old devices into the iPhone 6s via iCloud.
Many tech websites, as well as the Appple Support groups, are confronted with questions from frustrated users. A couple of apps seem to be affected by the issue.
The Calculator, Health, Watch, Weather and Wallet apps display their menus in a way that makes their use cumbersome and impractical. Backing the data from former phone models to iCloud and uploading it to iPhone 6s appears to cause the display errors.
"I just got my iPhone 6s today and tried loading credit cards into the Wallet app only to find that the view is zoomed-in, essentially cutting the sides off of my cards and passes," one user complained.
Passes and credit cards from the Wallet app are trimmed off laterally, which means people can hardly manage and delete their cards.
A temporary solution is this: go to the Settings app and find the Display Zoom feature. Activating it fixes the screen view on Wallet but transfers the problem to all the other menus or apps, leaving them all zoomed in. It gets the job done if users need to quickly manage their Wallet, but it is far from a definitive solution.
Quitting apps or rebooting the phone does nothing to alleviate the error.
In spite of repeated complaints from customers, updates from iOS 9.0.1 or iOS 9.0.2 did not fix the issue.
Some suggest that the iOS 9 issue was there before the release of the new operating system. A ray of hope comes from iPhone users who run iOS 9.1 beta 3 update, where the problem apparently disappeared.
One difference between the iPhone 6s and previous versions of the Cupertino phone lies not only in display size but also in resolution. The iPhone 6s has the highest pixel number to date, and that might have something to do with the way some apps appear on its screen.
One thing the Apple Store advises is to reset your phone to default factory settings and lose all your data in the process. For buyers who wish to avoid the wipeout, the best solution is to wait until the release of iOS 9.1.
