Also gets rid of "slide to unlock".

We don't have nearly enough Apple sycophants around here.  [/sarcasm]

Yeah, is Swordmaker or whoever still at FR? Does he ever post anything non-Apple related?

So how do you unlock it?  Is it going to be thumbprint/fingerprint only?

Home key and passcode.

Both at the same time, or one or the other?

Too many bugs right now - haven't upgraded on my iPhone

I like the home key and since it's just me i don't use the password until I'm at family events.

I have an iPhone 6 and after the last update I can open it with either method (I just don't need to do both at the same time).  It's not that bad using the thumbprint - sometimes it's handy.

I have an iPhone 6plus  I never used the thumbprint. And I made the Apple Genius guy turn off the password, but he showed me how to turn it on if I needed to do that. I do really like my phone. It's even pink! :)

The thumbprint for some reason scares me oceander, I don't know why.

Passcode is optional I think. It would be "home key" and then passcode I believe.

After Apple fought tooth and nail to avoid having to create a backdoor into the iOS code I have some hope that my info on the iPhone will be reasonably safe.
