The 6+ is my first iPhone with Touch ID, so apologies if this is a newbish question. On my i5 I set the device lock at 15 minutes, so I'd be prompted to enter the lock code if the phone was idle after that time. With the 6+ I'm prompted to unlock the phone via Touch ID or PIN every time I wake it up.

Not that holding my thumb over the home button is a strain, I just found this kinda unusual and was expecting a swipe only.

Side question: how long do you set your auto-lock for?
