Their logic is that Raise to Wake turns on the display, then you can decide to unlock with a press of the home button.
It may not work in all situations (the phone is sitting on your desk and you don't want to pick it up, etc), but that's what they were thinking anyway.
Erm, because the check was only introduced in this beta. Since it's both a beta and a new feature, I'm not sure why you're so 'shocked' at seeing a warning. Are you a developer or someone just keen to play around with new pre-release features? I'm assuming this isn't your primary device?
I can't speak to the second problem as I have not experienced it, but animations seem smoother and more timely. There had seemed to be a delay before most actions executed but that seems to. E fixed.
I'm only using a regular 6S tho so YMMV.
What does still happen tho when typing up posts on this website is pressing return or backspace suddenly scrolls to the bottom of the page. Does that happen for you?

I can see both sides, but here's what matters: raise to wake is slow in the best of times and fails completely in the worst of times. Even on the watch, I'd say it just isn't ready for prime time.
Except as has already been pointed out, there's an option to change that if you want.
This beta is much improved. It solves a freezing issue with the iPad mini 2 whenever playing random games. It would just lock up in the middle. Also, my iPhone 6s used to just lock up randomly for no reason at all with PB 1. So far that seems to be happening less often.
Yes, This happens to me in the car too. Seems to happen in any app (google play music, podcast app, audible etc). Must be the IOS not the individual apps.
I saw from someone that it doesn't perform well on the Air... Darn it! Was hoping it was an improvement from beta 1.
I doubt that they'd add an option for a public beta for watchOS since there's no option to downgrade the OS. If it's too glitchy for someone's liking or if they had any other reason to downgrade a beta software, they'd be stuck with it. :|
On the other hand, Apple's public beta page offers a profile for installation on watchOS. Maybe they're still thinking about it, or waiting for the betas to mature a little more.
Can we finally have the capability to set how long the alarm runs before it goes off automatically?
Where are the release notes available? The link apple gave just takes me to the public beta basic info website...
Yup. My 'banking app' did not work in Beta 1. I advised Apple, and I assume others did also. It's FIXED in Beta 2! Yea!
Exactly. When I went from 6 to 6s, that's when my frustration with blowing past the lock screen started. Going forward, this will be a problem for more and more people as everyone's TouchID sensor would be upgraded to the faster one as they get new devices. Perhaps they changed it a bit early in their haste to appease the more recent upgraders.
Yeah, I found this about an hour or so after I posted my comment. I'm rather miffed that it's listed under "Accessibility", as if to infer there's something "broken" about users who prefer this method of authenticating their device(s).
What also bothers me is the little blurbage "Press home to unlock" since, now that I've re-enabled "rest finger to unlock", is not accurate. I could understand having to put the "Slide to unlock" blurb on earlier devices. But this new bit of text is off, and it got me to thinking... if in 2016 you have to explain on the device how to unlock it, you're doing it wrong.
I've been having trouble too, and submitted a bug report on it. My headphones will connect, then silently disconnect.
If I'm in the Bluetooth options screen at the time, they'll connect, and then actually show as disconnected. Tapping on the device reconnects them properly. I can also reconnect them by trying to force my headphones to reconnect by pressing the play button repeatedly. Everything was fine with Bluetooth under iOS 9.
It's actually slightly better under Beta 2--the headphones reconnect much more quickly.

It's also worth noting that for the 6s, you can have raise-to-wake enabled, and I can't. Until everything has a speedy sensor and will turn on the screen when you pick up the phone, I think Apple will be forced to have the old method available in settings.
