What is really so special about swipe to unlock? Do people still do that on touch ID devices?

Let's hope they don't have too much courage next year... Who knows what we'll lose!
God forbid they add something new and remove something old!! It would be disastrous!!
The new iMessage is really popular among teenagers.
Most iPhone users care about this sort of things, more than performance or new features.
Depends on if that something "old" isn't exactly something that really needs to be removed and could still be fairly useful.

Hard to really say most or not, but certainly some do, while others don't.
Yep, I don't use TouchID to unlock the phone. My hands are quite often a bit dirty for the fingerprint sensor to recognise it. Also more than two people sometimes use my phone. (Yes, yes I know you can add more prints, but only up to 5....)
My mistake. I did a Google search and grabbed a figure from July of this year. Sorry!
I made the mistake to update.
They f***ed up the Music app. Completely.
My phone holds a few hundred songs that I want to be on there. I don't care what I purchased from Apple. That's only a tiny and sometimes strange selection. For example a single song from a CD that I imported that was scratched, so I got it from iTunes. I don't want that displayed.
So do get only the music that I want, I have to select "Downloaded music". Which is completely wrong. It's not downloaded. It's music that I have on a CD and that I ripped from that CD. It was never downloaded. F***ing idiots.
And I can't have my music sorted by albums or artists. No, that is only for music that is downloaded from iTunes. I can't use an obvious feature because it is only available for downloaded music. F***ing idiots. On the other hand, they just _must_ inform me that they are showing only music on my phone. I know that, you dimwits. Why do you waste a quarter of the screen to tell me what I know anyway?
I thought about buying a phone with tons of memory and put all my music on it. Impossible. I have about 2,000 albums. Music shows two albums side by side. That's 1,000 rows. Which takes about an hour to scroll from one end to the other. Can't choose a letter on the right side anymore. That would be too easy, wouldn't it?
All in all, I want to break someone's neck at Apple. They are pissing me off completely.
But, but, but, ITS TOTALLY TRUE!!! And it's totally malicious! Don't you dare roll your eyes.I've installed it on my iPhone 5, and it definitely feels snappier than iOS 7-8-9, and is perfectly usable overall. On a 4 years old phone! talk about planned obsolescence...
Yeah you think so? Ask me how long it took for my Note 5 to get Marshmallow after Google released it, that phone is just a bit less than a year old. Look also at Motorola who says they won't do security updates. Many other examples. The timeframes are actually worsening. Trust me, I'm a big Android fan, but enough is enough.
that means that people wanted stickers more than a jailbreak IMO since many jb tweaks have already been included in newer versions of the os
So even though I have downloaded the iOS 9.3 file for my phone Apple won't let me install it at a later date if they stop signing it? That's dumb. How do iPhone 4s go from iOS 6 to 7, 8 or 9? I guess they missed the bus then it's too late? Don't tell me apple allow some phone to update their iOS versions and others are excluded. That would be terrible.
Whatever the latest version that is supported and being signed by Apple for a particular device is that's generally the only version that could be installed on that device. Devices can have other versions running on the, but if they were to restore or update that's the version they would end up going with.
You only need to press the home button. Probably actually easier now using gloves, even if its special touch screen gloves.

Now you can use that greasy finger to press the home button to unlock.
But it wouldn't unlock with the greasy finger or a finger in a glove as TouchID wouldn't recognize it.
If touch ID doesnt work what do you do?
Slide to unlock and enter your pin
Now you press the home button and enter your pin
Whats easier to do with greasy fingers or wearing gloves, pressing a button or slide to unlock?
The question there would be if that's what actually happens in that case. If so, then it seems like that should be fine.
What? Is this a similar discussion we had ages ago about wether iCloud photo library is a backup service or only a sync service?
I replied to this comment
"So slide to unlock is gone completely in favour of TouchID? That's going to suck this winter. I have gloves with a special pad on the index finger that lets me interact with my iPhone, but it obviously doesn't transmit fingerprints."
What has slide unlock to do with TouchID, nothing.
You use slide to unlock to get to the pin field (if you use one) when TouchID doesnt work, right?
Now you click the home button if touch ID doesnt work.
Again whats easier to do with greasy fingers or wearing gloves?
Is there any other well made app out there that allows you to play and manage your own music without requiring cloud (amazon)
