Uh, on the 6S, if you press the home button from screen-off, it blows through the lock screen. That's not what Apple intended.
Got a tip for us?

One thing about the lockscreen I don't like (at least in beta 1) is that it takes an extra step to reply to messages:
iOS 9:
- Swipe a notification
- Tap reply
- Type message
iOS 10 beta 1:
- Swipe a notification
- Tap reply
- Tap reply again (since the first reply only toggles a notification banner...)
- Type a message
The music UI also lacks a statusbar when listening to tag-less audio feeds:

Apple have made a pigs ear of this, and I have no doubt they will refine this over the betas. It's just an inconsistent experience and it's not quite clear what you have to do sometimes.
iPhone 6 here. If I turn on the screen with my finger on the home button and leave it there, it briefly flashes 'Press Home to open' and then unlocks to home screen with no further action. So already that message is a bit confusing as it wasn't required. Secondly, if I unlock with my finger on the home button, then lift it, then place it down, that's no longer good enough - which is inconsistent with how it used to work AND the previous example I gave. Now you DO have to press Home to unlock.
It's all a mess. They have this concept of your phone being unlocked - the padlock in the status bar is removed - but still on the lock screen. I think it will confuse people. It's confusing me at times and I'm a fairly competent user. Just not a nice experience.

Yeah it shows up, but can you swipe up and unlock your device and boom, use your app?

Wait so is swipe to unlock gone now? I don't have a device without Touch ID so I'm good, but what if you have an iPhone 5 or iPad Air or older without Touch ID? How do they unlock their device?

I've just updated OTA from 9.3.3 beta 1 (?)
edit:
it seems that you have to swipe with your finger just a little on the right of the icon, like the hitbox is moved on the right (not to much, or you bring up the control center)
If you're on the lock screen and you use Touch ID, it unlocks the device but stays on the lock screen until you actually press the home button. Pressing the home button is what gets you to your home screen. You can unlock it without actually going to the home screen.

Ahh. I see. Everything is going closer to center. Very likely next iPhone in 2017 would ship a round curve display.
Well no. It's just a habit. You pick the phone up for the screen to come on. You press the home button and it reads your finger print and you're in. One press. Not a press and a swipe.

You are so right. I was getting frustrated with the speed of unlocking, when all I wanted to do was to check what time it was. Now I can raise it, check the time, put it back in my pocket. And if I want to get into the phone, I simply put my thumb on the home button as I take it out of my pocket. For me, perfect.
I think you are likely in the minority though. I would assume that most users who currently have Touch ID just click the Home button to wake up their phone and simultaneously unlock it, bypassing the lock screen entirely.
With raise to wake in iOS 10, Apple has actually made the lock screen a usable feature again for the majority of users. Additionally, they've added a new state to your iPhone where you are still on the lock screen after unlocking your phone. You can still get to the app launcher just as fast as before by clicking the Home button, but now Apple has separated the actions of jumping to the app launcher and unlocking your iPhone into two distinct actions.

The problem is that it isn't faster. If I need to see the lock screen I can simply press the sleep/wake button. Raise to wake adds additional seconds to accessing the home screen.
Nope. OTA update. Like another poster said, the "hit box" is off. It seems I need to be further right of the icon and it picks up my touch. Works like it should barring that issue.
Additional seconds to you raising the device anyway to see it? Or you are saying this is purely related to the scenario where the device is lying down and you are using it just in that position without lifting it?
