Raise to wake

[Premium1]

It does work on my 6s Plus without any issues

Does it seem to have any negative effect on battery life?

Wonder if they will do something more with this for the iPhone 7 along with the other iPhone 7 only features?

 

[Premium1]

Yup. Definitely not ready for prime time.

It turns on way to often. Just a slight raise or even carrying the phone....

Think this is one area where added sensors like moto has would be very beneficial to prevent this.

Works on my 6s. No negative battery effects so far. Running iOS 10 for 3 days now

I would love the tap to wake feature that LG has on their devices. When I switched my G4 for the iPhone I was tapping my screen for months lol.

Cool feature. I think will be firstly available for older devices via jb

Or on BlackBerry 10 before that

Yes...it's pretty annoying at times.

Cool feature but will turn off as soon as I upgrade OS. With touch ID being so fast, I don't see the purpose.

BTW....it's not like it was. You have to press the home button to unlock. Hopefully that will change because I hate that darn clicking

Well that's dumb. Hopefully Apple receives enough feedback to change that by the public beta.

Battery eater !

Yeah, the current unlock process is horrible. If you don't have raise to wake enabled, you have to first click to get to the widget screen, then you have to click again to go to the homescreen. With the raise to wake enabled it is only one click, but it is still horribly intuitive. Also, why in the heck does the clock need to take up 1/3 of the widget screen. If you want the lock-screen widgets to be useful then don't obscure 1/3 of them with a giant digital clock.

I can't stand the unlock process. It makes me not want to use Touch ID. Maybe one day Apple will allow the lock screen clock to be adjusted in settings. Personally I like it large but I know several people that hate it.

So I can't just raise to wake then use Touch ID to get into the phone?

You can use it but you have to actually press the home button. I think so many people complained about it being too fast, which made them add this stupid feature

 

[mumfoau]

I think raise to wake as a feature is useful. But, when it's awake from being raised, simply putting my finger on the home button should unlock the phone. No press should be required.

My opinion though

Heh, yes, in this respect Apple is definitely becoming more like Samsung (not a good thing). Consumers are lazy and fickle. They don't want to learn anything new so Apple reacting to every feeling of dissent is not a good thing. Use the darn power button on the side people. It's not that hard. Instead we get this awful behavior.

That's the point of it. TouchID is too fast and people can't read the notifications that are there. Raise to wake displays them without inadvertently unlocking the phone first.
