Has anyone else noticed that when using a non-apple wallpaper (read: your own photo), the wallpaper will zoom in a ton in landscape vs in portrait? I've tried fiddling with all of the obvious settings to fix this, and I still encounter the issue. This is especially annoying as I like to use actual photos as my wallpaper, and when it zooms in, it gets very pixelated and frankly looks like crap.

This is truly my only gripe so far with the 6+. Otherwise I completely love it.

Here are some screenshots for example.

Ok, maybe my eyes aren't the greatest, but I don't see what you are talking about. Perhaps you can try some different wallpaper and post those results.
 
It's a known issue and very annoying. Doesn't seem to matter how big of an image you use it always pixelates the crap out of it. When using a default wallpaper it just turns the wallpaper and keeps it the proper size so I think it's a bug.
 
Look at them full size here, and you will see what I am talking about.

That's not what I was hoping to hear, but thank you.
