Hands-On With iOS 10's Overhauled Lock Screen

I have a 6 and I'm not up to speed on all of the developments.

What's the replacement method for slide to unlock? TouchID fails if my hands have been wet recently.

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 you have an app open and you pull down notifications you can Swype to view widgets, at least you can on the current beta.

Press home then on touchid fail you would enter your pin just as you would after slide-to-unlock

Semantically it makes sense to take widgets out of the Notification Pane, but this presumably means you'll have to exit whatever app you're in to get to your widgets. I pull down Notifications all the time when I'm in an app in order to use the Hue widget. Seems like this will require a couple more steps. Also not sure why the Play/Pause needs its own control center area.

Don't worry, widgets are still accessible from the notification pane. While in an app, swipe down to view notifications as normal, then swipe to the right and your widgets will appear! ;)

They should at least make the player controls first when playing music. It's dumb the way it is right now.

For everyone with security concerns about interacting with notifications on the lock screen, I'm sure you can disable it.

Wow, I can't believe it!

How could Apple make something SOOOOO ugly?

I mean, it's completely hideous. A bad-looking copy of other phones and apps.

How could they do this? Steve Jobs must be rolling in his grave.

So nobody here questions that a thief is able to see your messages, or personal information by swiping or using force touch. Or that they can just use airplane mode or that they can just take out the SIM and then Find My iPhone doesn't work? Surely this was considered during development right?

Same as iOS 9 where you can opt to turn off those abilities on the lock screen.

No slide to unlock feature is a bad idea for the older folks, my father who has no personal info on his phone expect phone numbers doesn't want his phone locked. Not to mention he has a 5c, no touch ID, even in the future, he works with his hands, dirty, greasy, cuts and scraps. For all the older folks that put the glass to their lips to voice a text, this will single them out.

Sliding up then over one screen for audio controls looks exhausting. Just pushing their "brilliant" night shift option on us even more...

That's weird, I just tried it on my iPad and the music controls show up first. Both on lock screen and CC.

The thing that's bugging me now, is replying to you. This page keeps shiftting down to the bottom every time I type something. :-(

Looks good, except the player controls being on the separate screen. At least they should double the basic controls on the main panel or make iPhone remember between wake ups which panel was selected last.
There's no reason why the Night Shift button should be so big.

I don't understand why they just didn't make the control center sheet larger.

Not liking this. NOT AT ALL.

I like the 'Swipe' thing to come up, and the ability to lock out EVERYTHING. Plus, 'TouchID' doesn't work on my iPhone 6+.

I want this 'front-end' to be just like the one that is on War Games. You get a couple chances to login, and then the world ends.

But what if you don't use a passcode or Touch ID? I just like to slide to unlock and it opens. The only time I enter my passcode is if I restart or haven't touched my phone in over 60 mins.

I'm calling it right now, a lot of people are going to be upset over the loss of slide to unlock.
