New Touch ID speed is literally absurd

I think it's great as it will reduce wear and tear on the home button by using the power button.
yea its cool, ive got a great little system going, if i want to check for notifications i press power button if i want to go straight in and unlock i use home
I found it so fast I cant pre-auth Apple Pay any more.
The option still exists in wallet to double tap the home button when locked to pre-auth but doing so just opens the phone.
I hope it wakes fast into wallet as people get angry on the underground transport when you stall with a phone at rush hour

Use a different finger? I use my index finger to just turn the screen on or the first knuckle of my thumb instead of where the print is
I never really check the lock screen for notifications, I just use Notification Center but honestly like others have said, you touch the home button at all and it already reads it. I can take my finger off before the screen even is really on and it opens it up for me
When you press the home button, shift your finger a little bit as you press it. Doesn't need to be much, just enough to slightly smudge the image it takes of your fingerprint.
That's something I hope they don't do. Even on "light" it needs quite a hard press to activate 3D Touch and I use mine in a windscreen mount a lot of the time and those things aren't the most sturdy of things for pressure on the screen.
I see I'm not the only one who thought mine was broken!
It's just too fast!!!
But yes, checking the time and/or notifications is going to have to take some adjustments---using a different finger or the side toggle switch I guess.
We'll adjust.

It's insanely fast!! Only have to leave my finger on there for less than half a second.
One thing I've noticed is that if I do unlock my phone by pressing the home button and using Touch ID, the phone becomes unresponsive for a good 5 seconds. This doesn't happen if I wake the phone with the power button and then use Touch ID.
Anyone else experiencing this? Could just be a software glitch on my end.

The finger print sensor is way too fast for me to the point that's a bit annoying. Sometimes I just wanna read the notifications on my lock screen and just by pressing the home button it unlocks my phone and then I have to go to the Notification Center. Also, a couple times I wanted to check the time and right after I press it it would unlock my phone.
