Is anyone else bothered by this?

"Enter Passcode" is in the very same place and it's capitalized, "try again" isn't.

The "try again" message only appears on the 5s for Touch ID.

Is "Enter passcode" still with a capital E?

It makes sense when you think of "slide to unlock" being the way it is.

Yes "Enter Passcode" is written as it is, so "try again" should have the T and A capitalized as it is on the same place. As I said, it used to be that way.
 
I don't get "Try Again" or "try again", my just remains as "Enter Passcode" and vibrates when I've entered an incorrect code.

Tried on an iPhone 5 and iPad Mini.

Try again message is for Touch ID. The other one is strictly entering the wrong passcode.

Stylisticly fits in with: "> slide to unlock", while "Enter Passcode" is a heading on the top of the screen.

Interesting.

Could it be deliberate? An attempt by Apple to give the security mechanisms a different 'voice', esoteric as it sounds? Def. worth another eyebrow-raise :)
 
I noticed the notification center added "No Missed nofications" and "No notifications."

Before I think it was just empty and looked much cleaner.

Agreed. It was cleaner before.

I imagine the 'empty' look had novice iphone users feverently scrolling up and down to see something off-screen. Something that didn't exist.

Whereas the explicit 'No notifications' tells them to stop looking.
 
Dammit why do people set 4-digit "pass codes" which are far easier to crack than complex alphanumeric passwords? With Touch ID you don't have to enter the long ones at any time either.

I do a 4 digit code b.c if you want to swipe to go to a notification you still have to enter a pin. touchId only can take you to the home screen, not the direct notification.

Also, I doubt someone would crack my pin before I realized my phone was missing.

Yes, it can take you to a direct notification.

You can swipe the notification, get to the passcode screen, and then put your finger on the home button. Will unlock and will allow you to directly follow the notification.
 
I kind of like the lower case. Not enough to really care all that much though.

oh wow, I really did not know that. Thanks!
 
I believe it'll be because Apple will be using the same string value for an incorrect attempt to unlock via Touch ID. The lowercase text matches the 'slide to unlock' style on the lock screen, and it'll just be used again on the passcode entry screen
 
As mentioned, the "try again" message appears when Touch ID didn't properly detect your finger.

The lowercase letters are off because it is exactly in the same place as "Enter Passcode" which is properly capitalized.
 
Enter passcode capitalised as it's intro text. try again is repetitive subsequent text
