Display Bug Affecting Some iPhone 6s Users Who Restored From iPhone 5/5s/5c Backup

"# Zoom, just one look and then my heart went boom..."

This is pretty bad.

I've got an iPhone 5S and restored from an iCloud backup after installing iOS 9 fresh and have an issue where websites are zoomed in and I can't pinch to zoom out.

I restored iOS 9.1 beta 2 and the problem still exists.

I have the same problem!! I restored from an iCloud backup of my iPhone 5.. It's the same "zoomed in" feel. I also have the problem on the calculator app, where it's scaling it instead of using the full iPhone6 resolution. I thought it was kind of weird Apple wouldn't update their own apps to the new size after this long, but now I know it's most definitely a bug!
 
I experienced this problem after restoring my new 6s from a 5s iCloud backup. Nice to see that a fix is in the works.

Does anyone think that wiping the phone and restoring from my new 6s iCloud backup might resolve it?

Let me give you another situation.
When you buy a new house, do you move your furniture into it or just throw them away?

Furniture = documents pics, music, movies
Old app data and preferences = pipes and plumbing

Let me know when you've created the world's first error-free and corruption free backup and restore system. I'm sure you would get quite a few calls about it.
 
I am coming from 5s and have the problem. I never once used the app on my 5s. Never added a pass, a credit card or anything. One of to reasons I upgraded was to use Apple Pay. I scanned in my card and boom. Too big for the screen.

I actually ran across this problem and spent about 2 ½ hours working with apple support on launch day, until eventually I found a workaround on my own that I passed along to them but apparently they have not yet disseminated. The bug appears to originate in the migrations of the cards/passes themselves, so if you still have access to the 5/5s/5c that the backup was made on, you can delete everything from the wallet/passbook on that device before creating a new backup, and upon adding cards/passes back to the 6s after restore everything should be working normally (it at least did so for me). It behaves the same whether restoring through iTunes or iCloud.

this is disconcerting. I was going to try the suggested fix to remove everything from Wallet on 5s, back it up again and restore 6s again from that new backup. But your experiences means that this might not work.
 
I know it's a PITA, but setting up your new iPhone as a new iPhone is often the best way to go. That's what I do ever since an Apple genius told me that if you want to reduce your chances of having issues with your new iPhone or iPad, start fresh. You may lose some app data with apps/games from developers who didn't have the foresight to allow the user to copy/save or use iCloud for the data, but the alternative could be a lot of nagging issues.

I agree, if your approach involves data loss, it's not a solution.

Once you've set up your phone there is no official way to merge whatever happened on that new phone after setup and what you may have in an old backup.

Say you get 20 messages post new iPhone, but you want to get your old messages back as soon as the issue is fixed somehow.
You end up having to decide between either the old backup or the new messages.

Of course there are unofficial ways to merge this by hand (!), but as long as it isn't something Apple will give you an official approach for, I refuse to accept the statement that they have an intermediate "solution".

I dont understand why iOs hasnt gained a "time Machine" backup/restore option. Let me restore per app and its contents based on my last backup. It seems to make perfect sense for a mobile OS.

Exactly like my partner's, 5s to 6. Wallet empty, nothing Apple Pay related or any loyalty cards, only after restoring to the 6 were the cards added, and then issue with the app...
9.1 can't come soon enough!!
 
Yep, i'm another one.
It's not too bad really. I don't need to delete any cards and have no reason to access the UI. Just looks sloppy.
Are there any new features / delayed features coming down the pipeline on these full point updates? Really like the new OS and iP6S so far. It's just recently 'settled' and ironed out a few bugs on it's own - email sync, notifications sync, autoupdates. Clever stuff.
