Not yet, but hopefully Apple will allow 3D touch to wake screen in next update. Fingers crossed
some can't see the forest thru the trees...
people just love to complain...I love the speed. Yes it just requires a new way of using the phone, which makes it better!
He meant wake up the phone. He was replying to the poster who complained that he can't see the time on the lock screen because the phone unlocks too quickly when touching the home button.
I don't know why iOS9 implemented this useless feature.
Hold your sleeping phone to the terminal with your thumb resting on the home button. Your phone will auto wake, which verifies that the terminal may support Apple Pay. If it does, it'll instantly read your print and pay.
Uh oh some people are going to be forced to learn how to use the Notification Center lol. I don't know anyone who actually uses that feature, which completely confuses me because I use it EVERYDAY. How do you remember every notification you need to address if you only see it on the lock screen for a couple seconds? Plus it's so much easier to tap the notification in the Notification Center rather than having to find the app somewhere. No idea how people just "don't use it". They're going to when they get a 6S.
Can't you just use an unregistered finger? Or the power button?
For what reason? I've never used Notification center, ever. Will having a 6S somehow change that?
I have the regular 6S and it's just as fast for me to. 1 millisecond after I press the home button my phone unlocks. Some times I just to see my lock screen to see if I got notifications but it unlocks my phone.
You guys do realize that you can wake the phone and look at notifications with the sleep/wake button, right? That's what it's for...
Why do we have so many "Dumb" people here?
Or course something can be too fast, just in the same way it can be too slow.
We seem to have people here who cannot grasp this.
If the Apple watch showed you the time and turned the screen off after 1 second, it would be too fast, and would need to be slowed down a bit.
The mouse speed in Windows and OSX has adjusters so that you can set things between slow and fast depending on your preference.
Why do we have so many numb nuts who don't understand that a feature that a human being has to interact with has to be set at a speed that's most comfortable for humans to use.
Too fast can be just as bad as too slow.
In an ideal world, a feature like TouchID would work instantly, and then you would have a small slider under settings to adjust how fast it reacted, then each user, old people and young children etc, could set a response speed that felt most comfortable to them.
It's not, as they say "Rocket Science" folks.
A "sleep/wake" button also is not rocket science.
Nice try.
So am I. Still had the 5s, bought the 6s, and the speed is just fantastic.
A co-worker got a 6s (on launch day by just walking into an AT&T store--good stock, poor sales, or advantage of being in a rural area?), and I helped him set up TouchID.
Holy crap is it fast now. They're not kidding that it will generally just unlock the phone in the time it takes to click the home button to wake it. The thing pretty much just woke up straight to the home screen, and that's after just a brief and sloppy training.
I wasn't really that interested in upgrading my 6, but seeing that kinda made me want one--sure, it's only a second or two every time you unlock your phone, but the effortlessness was seductive.
Also: If you don't actually want to unlock it, why not just press the unlock button instead? That's what I do even on a 6 or 5s, and it just seems to make more sense to me. (Also easier to hold the phone in side-grip if you just want to glance at the time or notifications.)

Yeah, I don't know. I even had my phone replaced under warranty due to wifi issues and the new one was no better.
I work in a hospital and am constantly washing my hands, I wonder if that has anything to do with it?
It really doesn't bother me, as I thought it was sort of a gimmicky feature anyway, and I still make use of the sensor with the awesome Virtual Home Jailbreak tweak.
