You'd have no battery leftI think it's dumb that "Raise to Wake" is exclusive to M9 devices. What about the M9 makes it a requirement over the M7 or M8?
Apple does seem a bit confused about how to design a lock screen. At first glance it seemed like a bit of improvement, but your points are quite valid.I'm not a fan of how Widgets are now available in only two places, the left of the lock screen and the left of the home screen. Before, I could access widgets from anywhere on the device through Notification Center. This is what made them useful, the ability to see them from anywhere.
Widgets will essentially be useless for me if I have to exit the app I am using to see them. I really hope that they change this.
If I don't have a password set and I don't raise my phone but just press the home button,what will I see? (On the condition that my finger hadn't been recognized so far)
If I have a password set but my hands are wet, sweated, dirty, will I have to try several times before I see the notification where I can enter my numerical password? Every moment you want to see the time or if any messages came ... will we really have to struggle with that? Hope it is or will be solved somehow.
