In practice, I pick up device so it wakes and shows the Lock Screen. I see a stunning number of notifications. I start swiping and tapping to manage them, and then even though I’m holding the device in front of my face, FaceID doesn’t, and the screen sleeps in mid swipe or between taps.

Now, I have to wake the device a second time, make sure FaceID happens, go the Home Screen where hopefully I’m not completely distracted by icon notifications, hope I’m pulling down from the portion of the screen that will allow me to process the notifications I was trying to process, and start again.

I need to reduce the number of notifications. Almost none of them need to be on my Lock Screen. Most of them aren’t adding value to my life. So noted.
