I wish there was an option to have the original font for time and date. It’s way better than any of the new ones. Some are frankly horrible.

What if you don't choose any theme for the lockscreen and you continue using it like you used to in iOS 15, does the original clock still appear?

Or it defaults to a new one anyway?

It's exactly my thought, that I haven't seen any better than the original one, I love thin and clean lines much more...

Agreed. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it at first but I feel like because the font style for the day, date and widgets etc are all the same, except for the clock, it just all seems a bit mismatched and the clock now seems a bit out of place.

I don’t know, maybe it will grow on me eventually
 
I guess I need to start framing my Portrait mode photos with the subject a little lower in the frame. Using classic rule of thirds framing with just a sing subject ends up with them too high to use the depth effect... So I have lots of photos I'd love to use that way but can't. Also, something I noticed when trying to see if I could scale down this photo when customizing the Lock Screen, it looks like the machine learning recognizes semi-transparent material? It's wicked cool and I really wish I had framed this shot differently, but I'm still loving all the customizations.

I’m loving that you can make the time have a nice heavy font - but I just don’t understand why you’d want to obstruct the time with a portion of your photo. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m boring though, I use a black wallpaper. :)

I’m not a fan of most of them, but to each their own. However, the ability to select a much larger heavy font is very nice for glancing.
 
Awww man. I was skeptical when Gurman said there would be a new lock screen, but I have to admit I was impressed during the keynote. They really brought the Apple Watch Faces customization features to the iPhone.

Right now, I find iOS 15.5 pretty buggy*, and I'm scared to install iOS 16. I also don't want the hassle of testing my apps on my real devices through Test Flight, and I cannot wait until September to push updates to it.

But I am jealous of these Home Screens you guys posted. They're just so damn badass!

Unless I missed it somewhere I feel like they missed a trick with the lock screen. They could have included dynamic wallpapers like in MacOS which changes based on the time of day and adapted it further by changing the colour and style of font with the background
It's connected to Focus modes, which can now be changed automatically, so theoretically you have some more of that dynamic customization.
