REALLY disappointed that raise to wake is iPhone 6s or better. No love for the 6 / 6 plus. Come on!!!!
I'd say the camera app slide is counter-intuitive, very apple unlike, as swipe to opposite way where controls are & on same sort of topic why in god's name with the super-duper laptop replacement devices we have can we not rotate a video in photos app?
There is no way to get rid of the swipe camera on the lock screen. You can swipe the camera on,use it, and the phone is still locked. Duh. If you go to general restrictions and turn off the camera it will fix that, however, to use the apple or any camera accessing app you have to go to general, restrictions and re enable the camera. Maybe they will in an update allow another app to be used the the "swipe" position......
It seems like there should be some better options for older phones. Raise to wake seems like the focus, which makes sense. For phones that don't support it the press the home button option seems really awkward.
That's getting disabled like now.
I also wish there was some way to get to the passcode. TouchID doesn't work well when my finger is damp and so I just skip to the passcode. Now it seems failing a few times is the only option.

It's been like that (not counting the direction of swipe) for a long time now, not that likely that it will change in that respect.
Am I missing something or is the only option to get inside an app via a Notification to 3D Touch it and then a normal touch? That's one step more than before.
For example CNN app sends me a news push notification and if I normal touch it, nothing happens....

I actually liked the iOS 9 feature to answer from notification screen. Working as a mechanic it is handy.
What is frustrating me is that even after Touch ID 'unlocks' the phone, I'm often still asked to press home to unlock. This is an added step that, to me, serves no purpose (other than to annoy the user). Am I 'unlocking it wrong'?
Love the press to unlock. Much easier one-handed on a 6s Plus.

Raise to wake has worked perfectly for me. 100%. Press to unlock is brilliant on a 6s plus one-handed. Seems like just adding your left thumb print would solve most of your problems except for the raise to wake thing.

It would be a very good option to have when the screen is covered up (in an armband during a workout, for example).
That confused me at first too. Touch ID without a press allows you to access the widgets with a slide to the right, and the camera with the slide to the left (with photo access - a locked swipe to the left will still get you access to the camera, but you won't be able to access photos). For me, this "half-unlocked" mode is sufficient for a lot of the things that I would do on the phone. Fully unlocking just requires a press, and I prefer this over slide to unlock when using the phone one-handed.
Once you get used to it I really think you will come to see it as a feature, which it is.
In those cases please activate AssistiveTouch and use the virtual home button as a workaround until the hardware issue is resolved
I see, thank you for offering a solution.
Everyone is talking about the home button logon and i'm just sitting here wondering what ever happened to the dark mode that everyone was so excited about. It seems it just disappeared and no one even mentioned it after updating. That's what I was looking forward to the most honestly
As a lefty, I'm mainly holding the phone in the my right hand and find the lock screen easier to right to left slide than left to right. So getting to my camera from the lock screen is a little bit easier than to the widget screen. If it exists, I can't find it but it would be nice to have an option to flip which side each of these is on for lefty- righty- users.
i really hate the psuh notification and widget Window Colour !!!
Can i change the colour from grey to maybe black background with white font ??
