This looks just like Android Marshmallow's lock screen, just worse.

Not sure how I feel about those cards. I feel like they belong on a mid-2000 smartphone. They should've kept the blurred background.

For iOS 10 we have completely reimagined what a lock screen should look like. Our human interface design team has spent an amazing amount of time to perfect this. And I think we nailed it. An incredible and revolutionary new addition to the greatest mobile operating system on earth.

How they announce each feature Android has had for a long time.

I've had the beta installed for a couple of hours now and I quite like the new lock screen, especially the swiping to widgets. I think if they refine the style a little bit and tone it down, it'll be just right.

Delightfully similar to Android :)

It's very consistent with existing patterns and components, and made a lot more sense once I saw the widgets in context of the other screens. Definitely prefer the minimalism of the current lock screen though, and probably wouldn't use half the features this ads.

Kinda feel like they need to design a lot of iOS from scratch again, it's all starting to feel a bit awkward and hacked together.

So much hate! Give it a chance, people. This is the biggest thing I dislike about certain design communities; quick-to-judge comments.

Ugly and complicated. Can't anything just stay simple?

So this is "ugly", "complicated" and "complex"? Wow.

Regardless the visual appearance - on which, imho, the discussion focuses much more on branding than anything else - this lock screen redesign was driven by the fact that now you can actually interact with notifications as they were app widgets. The old 'minimalistic' notification design simply wouldn't work for this interaction so, as shocked as we all may be seeing iOs slowly turning into Android, I don't think this is a total design disaster.

I like it. But time and date shouldn't move a little upwards when I'm swiping to widgets!

Since switching (I've been an iOS user since the iPhone 4s and Apple since the G4) to Android I can say that iOS and Apple design in general just feels cold. In the past Apple used to be a fun and family friendly company that made products accessible to everyone. Since the early 2000s their products have all turned into cold aluminum at a premium cost.

The original vision Jobs had for Apple was a company that produced products (the personal computer originally) at a cost that made them available to the average person. Now their products cost a premium and are double (sometimes triple) the cost of competitors.

I've also purchased a Chromebook and paired with my Android device it's an interesting world. I'm one click from running Atom locally on a Crouton Linux install. Figma is accessible anywhere I have internet. Or Inkscape is accessible if need be. I have upwards of 16 hours of battery. My screen is crisp and clear at a bright 1080p and my computer cost me under $400. I still use the latest MacBook Pro at work, but I could easily see not needing it.

I made a replica of the screen, you can see it / download here: https://dribbble.com/shots/2775949-iOS10-Notifications-free-ai-source-file

lame ... look shity xD

I'm not gonna go into the discussion of how it looks like (I'm not quite fond of it but I'll see how it works when I get it I guess), but does anyone see the potential privacy concerns regarding the 3D Touch to expand those card when the screen is locked? So if I'd loose my phone, someone could read the mail I just received or interact if people messaging me at the moment...or can you do that only if you have an Apple Watch so the phone authenticates you when near by?

I would genuinely be interested to hear what Steve would say about this direction. I can't help but feel like it's taking a weird turn away from the simple user interfaces we're used to. It just looks likes Apple is joining the rest and ramming too much onto 1 screen.

everything is starting to look like android....I think this looks particularly bad on a landscape ipad :|

Complicated, indeed. The focus is shifted from UX to features, as much as Apple wants to hide it. There hasn't been an iOS update recently that I feel comfortable having.

They think 3d touch will help them reduce complex UI, but actually it makes the worse UX ever. It's like a hamburger button with no icon. Don't do that please!
