iOS 10: Lock screen – What’s new?

66 Comments on iOS 10: Lock screen – What’s new?

1. Complicated, love the old slide to unlock. Looks like apple has lost it’s
   simplicity.

   • I disagree I believed that sliding to unlock was useless when we have the
     sensor on the home button …

   • +Shamur Stewart the gist is it will break faster than the prev ios version
     due to more frequently usage of clicking on the home button.. u clear?

   • +Moist Gnome it’s not just that. In general Apple is losing the simplistic
     image they have kept for years.

   • +Muriyanto Muriyanto The gist is that you’re struggling with the English
     language and clearly cannot understand my point that that’s not a proper
     conclusion to draw. Are “you” clear?

   • Get over yourself

2. Hate it hate it hate it. Now I am forced to press the already worn out home
   buttons on my iPhone and iPad to unlock my device. So stupid. I can’t wait
   for Apple to ditch the physical home button and replace it with something
   that won’t worn out so easily.

   • once change home button , touch id will not work for that price

   • “The analysts report that the iPhone 7 will feature a “Force Touch Home
     button” that sits flush with the rest of the phone. In addition to offering
     a more clean design, a Home button that doesn’t actually move will mean
     that there’s one less physical part that could fail. The Home button has
     always been a point of pain for iPhone users and Apple Geniuses alike, and
     this could be Apple’s way of looking to reduce Genius Bar visits.”

     Rejoice! It’s happening <3

3. There is a workaround NOT to press the home button at all. I’m
   avoiding pressing it at all cost so I figured out some ways. One of
   course is to click and swipe to the left on any notification on the lock
   screen which will prompt you to enter the passcode/or simply touch the
   touchID ring to unlock the device, after that I just force touch on the
   left edge to invoke the multitasking view and go to homescreen after
   that.But notifications are not always available so what I
   actually do is to slide to the right to get to the widgets screen, and
   when I click on the Weather icon it will trigger the passcode, enter it
   or touch the Touch ID and it will take you to the Weather app, force
   touch to multitask and go 🙂 Sounds complicated but no it takes me 2
   seconds to do it

   • You make sense, and all of that can be done quickly, especially once it
     becomes a habit and muscle memory starts taking over. But my question is
     why the need to avoid simply pressing a single button? Also, why not just
     use AssistiveTouch, can’t you get into the device when that feature is
     turned on?

   • The home button is the weakest thing on iPhones, its mechanical and easy to
     get faulty, I had mine damaged and became unresponsive on my iPhone 5 and I
     couldnt sell the iPhone back then due to this, I always sell and buy the
     new models. I dont use AssistiveTouch or so cuz I dont like to have such
     things appear on my screen

   • I’m happy cuz the iPhone 2017 might get rid of it and be replaced with
     capacitive button/force touch instead built into the screen, with probably
     the TouchID ring embedded as well, so bye bye mechanical home button haha

4. Damn, what if the home button get broken?

   • +Brendan Teske replace it and cost more $$. yep replaced mine for
     rm750(usd200) just for that stupid button

   • remember you can fix your iPhone yo any cheap 3rd party shop unless you
     want your phone to get brick. you need to send it to apple store with
     “premium price”

   • You can use assistive touch.assistive touch works on lockscreen 🙂

   • Don’t worry, Apple will gladly sell you a new device.

   • Touch ID if you have a device with it

5. This is easily the best video detailing the lock screen in iOS 10. Great
   job!

   • Jeff is the best.

6. Enjoy the videos but the announcement of the next item or subject is a down
   for me. I feel it’s not really necessary

   • +EliteHitmanX ok

   • ok

   • i remember when you were on idownloadblog

7. It sucks, especially the notifications in one app display separately.

   • Never have been a fan of notifications by time. Since you could also see
     the time if it’s by app

   • u can set notifications to be shown app-wise even now from settings

8. swipe up to unlock should be included

   • That would be the best way for them to go about it. Worn down home buttons
     are already an issue, this will just increase the issue.

   • That was EXACTLY my thougt.. but Apple may did not use this, because some
     “dumb” people wouldnt be clear about swiping up to unlock the phone or to
     trigger Control Center.. ^^

9. Does AssistiveTouch shows on the lock screen? If so can you unlock by using
   the home button (set up on the AssistiveTouch) instead of pressing the
   physical button just so the home button doesn’t wear out?

   • Yes

10. Music on lock screen looks ugly .too big buttons

    • that’s good for adult hands with adult sized fingers

    • It helps when driving. And in general the lockscreen controls have always
      been too small and always cause me trouble.

    • Same here. It was always hard to get the volume toggle in the lock screen.

11. Should I download iOS 10 or wait?

    • I think the IOS 10 is specifically designed for IPhone 6 and newer so it
      will perform better than the older device and also, wait for the public
      released

    • ios10 september

    • You shouldn’t even update to it once it’s officially released, unless you
      have an 6S or 6S Plus, it’s pretty crap, everything new is terrible except
      the Music app enhancements.

    • HOW WOULD YOU KNOW IOS 10 IS NOT OUT YET DONT EVEN TELL ME BATA OR JAILL
      BRAKE

    • +Robin Lee Wuo Bing when the public beta is released, will be it stable
      enough to run smoothly without big bugs or glitches? I have a 6s

12. New Lockscreen is great! I would like to see a dark mode or more
    transparent widget though.

    • Ya looks like garbage

    • You can change it to a dark setting you know right? Lol you can take the
      transparency off

    • Transparency off =/= dark mode.

13. Everything looks nice except the unlocking part. Make it mandatory that
    Touch ID should be enabled by the user and just by touching the home
    button, the phone should unlock. No pressing of the home button. Worn down
    home button is already an issue, Apple.

    • Disagree, bro. Apple’s home buttons really sucks and constantly get wear
      out. This is in no way an advance step, but a step back. Unless they’re
      willing to pay is the repairing fee Everytime. In that case ios 10 would be
      just great.

14. Can the notification privacy be controlled fully like Android?

    • +thebayareapimp well it sounds like it can’t do it. So please explain how
      it can.

    • +Michael H I gave the answer above on “how”. Lol.

    • +Madi Saalam that displays the sender’s name and therefore not like
      Android. “Lol”.

    • +Michael H Okay, goodnight.

15. Hey Jeff just came across this channel I subscribe & liked this video

    • +Pavel Mixlove thanks 🙂

16. I love the new lock screen but i don’t like the press home button thin

    • *thing

    • Me too. I like slide to unlock better cause there is less likely of an
      accidental unlock in the pocket, especially if there is pass code set up.
      Also it brings me back to the good old days of the original iPhone.

17. When is IOS10 available.

    • iOS Dev Beta is out. Public Beta coming July. Full Update coming with
      iPhone 7 on September.

    • Thanks

18. Ugh the unlock concept is horrible :/ What if the home button breaks???

    • You can then use the software home button, which can be accessed on the
      lock screen.

19. I bought 6s cause I don’t want to press the home button or do extra steps
    when unlocking.

20. How do you access apple pay on the lockscreen now?
