That must be why my GD battery is draining so GD fast. I will literally charge the thing to 100%, NOT use it, and the next morning it's at 80%. Maybe I should deactivate Siri on there as well. Annoying having every device I own answer me when I ask Siri to send a message.
[doublepost=1467139538][/doublepost]Point blank, they suped-up TouchID so hardcore in the 6S & 6S Plus, that people couldn't check the time without being presented with their Home-screen (not Lock-screen). So the new press to open is a godsend. It was a radical departure from what we've been taught, but we're acclimating.

Now I wasn't aware that raise to wake wasn't available on all phones. But with the explanations provided in here, I can understand why.

I doubt that Always On Hey Siri would be that big of a battery hit. Something else has to be at play there.

Well force touching the screen to turn it on wouldn't unlock the device and with the way I usually hold an iPhone 6S Plus my hand is at the lower end, making hitting the power button inconvenient.

Still doesn't add anything that isn't already available.

1: Raise to a Wake = no button press.
2: picking up the phone and pressing Home once quickly = one button press.
3: picking up the phone and pressing the power button = one button press.

None of these advance you past the lock screen, and allow you to see notifications and interact with them. (#2 will only advance you past the lock screen if you maintain your registered finger on the Home button after the press, just how it's always worked.)

Your suggestion is

4: pick up the phone and 3D Touch the screen = one "button" press.

Its not any quicker or does it add anything to what already exists. And slower than the new Raise to Wake (because that is automatic)

What I'm saying is that I don't like Raise to Wake. It turns the screen on too often in situations where I don't want it on. To your points:

• Picking up the phone and pressing Home once quickly - on the iPhone 6S Plus unless I'm extremely quick TouchID unlocks the phone past the home screen. Which isn't ideal for me when I just want to check notifications.
• Picking up the phone and pressing the power button - on the Plus the power button is not the most convenient button.

Maybe I have to "get used to it" but with how I usually grip the phone, I'm finding raise to wake unideal for me. I liked the concept, but don't like it in execution, sorry.

I believe you can disable it if you want.

This is an issue with the Watch, also, particularly at night or in a darkened environment like a theater or concert.

Again, no you don't. Clicking the home button once unlocks an iPhone and jumps to the app screen just as fast as it does on iOS 9.

On my iPhone, if a notification lit up the screen, I could just rest my finger on the home button and the screen would unlock and take me to my home screen. Now, I have to actually press the home button to take me to my home screen. My wife's iPhone on iOS 9 also allows her to just rest her finger on the home button to be taken to the home screen, providing her screen was lit from a notification. I'm sure that we're not the only ones that had this feature on iOS9 and now with iOS 10, it is gone.

Is raise to wake available on devices with the m8-m7 coprocessors in the new beta?

OK so beta 2 fixed my issue where it doesn't unlock just with resting your finger on the home button - you have to press the button to unlock it. That solves my issue with raise to wake - though, it still wakes too often IMO. :D

Oh shame poor you! You have to exert a slight amount of force to press a button. Your finger must hurt from it... in any event, the "Rest to unlock" feature will take care of that for you once it has been implemented on a later beta.

The really funny part is that all forms of getting to the springboard prior to iOS 10 required one button press and so do all forms afterward, except if you now choose to perform some optional new functionality.

Are people these day so fscking lazy that they complain about pressing a button instead of resting their poor little fingers. I mean wtf is going on here! Are all these whiners 10 years old???

There's this other guy in the other thread (how many threads can one have on the same topic) and he says that press to unlock is overly complicated! Excuse me? How is pressing a button complicated? Only a complete lazy retard would think pressing a button is complicated.

Enjoy your Android widgets and I'll enjoy my fraction of a second launch to the springboard.

It takes you longer than a fraction of a second to press home?

My wife is still on iOS 9, I don't dare upgrade her phone to a beta because I wouldn't hear the end of it and we compared the difference between when her phone lights up for a notification and just touching the TouchID and the time that it takes now to press the home button and wait for the TouchID to register and there was a noticeable difference. I guess I'd compare it to a 1st Gen TouchID and a 2nd Gen TouchID. Not too much difference in speed but some. I know I'm arguing over nothing but imagine the backlash if Apple decided to stick with the 1st gen TouchID when the 2nd gen was available. I know speaking personally, that faster is always better for me.

You're cognizant that this is a beta, right? Public Beta 1 no less.
