The current state of the lock screen

[Niccolò Mineo]

Let's recap the current state of the lock screen on iOS - please correct if wrong:

• Portrait mode
  • Classic screen
    • Access it from everywhere the way we have been used to for a few iOS versions now
• Landscape mode
  • Classic screen
    • Open an app supporting landscape mode and swipe down
    • If you're on the home screen, forget it
  • Standby mode
    • A prettier version of the classic screen
    • Notifications content cannot be directly displayed
    • Face Id cannot be used to see the notifications content
    • Inexplicably, you're stuck with all the widget pages the widget pages cannot get rid of

Overall the landscape lock screen just looks like a good-intentioned, but ultimately failed experiment.

Anyone else feeling this way and having suggestions to cope with this?

Anyone against minding to explain why?
