When IOS 10 first came out I thought I was gonna love the raise to wake feature. After using it since launch day it just became distracting to me. Feeling like every time I move my phone I need to check to see if my screen came on. I know I'm weird! Its totally a non issue since it can be turned off in settings. I turned mine off about a month ago. Was just curious if anyone else felt the same way as I?

I'm the opposite. I really appreciate the raise to wake feature. You're using less hardware by not pushing the home or power button. And being the raise to wake is only on for a second or two. Especially if you have the Plus model, you don't have to reach across the screen to push the buttons to wake the display.

One of the nicer advantages with iOS 10.
