How is progress ever to be made if the bar is "it's been that way forever"?
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Change just for the sake of change is never good. It isn't progress, it's overcomplication.

They will also add tutorial screen pointing to the widgets pane in lockscreen as most people won't find it without it.
I guess the days where Apple products were so intuitive that 4 year olds could use them are gone.

If you find yourself about to post a "YOU DISAGREE WITH MY PET THEORY SO YOU MUST BLINDLY LOVE APPLE!!!1!" you might consider talking a deep breath or going for a walk instead. Attempting to frame someone as some kind of fanboy because they point out the obvious flaws in your poorly thought ideas is not, and never has been, a strong argument.
Wait a sec, weren't you and lagwagon the ones spamming threads criticising the new unlock sequence, telling people to "get used to it"? Well, you were simply wrong, because a few days later Apple added the old sequence back into the OS.
Now, as for the "take a deep breath" bit, quite frankly, reading your post you once again seem agitated. You're new to the forums, so don't ruin our friendly community with your saltiness.
If you recall, I did quite literally mention that there are some downsides to my suggestion. Pointing out someone is a fanboy isn't "an argument", it's me trying to end the argument when I realise the person I'm talking to is closed-minded, unfriendly and unnecessarily critical.

I'm not "just defending Apple" or "oblivious to positive aspects". I take both sides into thought before I reply. Unlike most people around here who just hate because it's not "their way" and can't see the other side. Your suggestion just doesn't provide any real benefit. It doesn't make anything easier or better than it currently is in iOS 10. It's mearly a change for the sake of change. A change that also applies to only a small portion of iOS devices. Cuts out all iPads and is only available for one generation of phones (soon to be two.)
Current lock screen is consistent. You know what will be on screen when you wake the screen. Notifications, widgets left, camera right. Your suggestion would change with each screen wake. Sometimes you would see notifications and then sometimes you would see widgets. That's not consistent.
And again comes back to not all devices would be able to 3D Touch "left of the time" to reveal widgets, like you suggested. Which also again, isn't easier or better than just a simple swipe. It's would be more or less just a novelty of "look what 3D Touch can do".
Changing it would bring huge pushback. Just look how upset people have been getting over removing "Swipe to Unlock".
I give credit to suggestions that are well thought out and would actually make an improvement for the majority. This on the other hand is just not one of them. IMO.
Fair enough, but iOS 10 is still in beta, the change isn't set in stone just yet. My suggestion was formed in less than 30 seconds, it is of course not perfect but merely a starting point for a conversation.
