New iPhone lock screen exploit reveals contact information without passcode
The more functionality that is available from the lock screen, the harder it is to ensure that there aren't any bugs that allow access to personal information. Apple has to make sure that each operation is aware of when the phone is locked vs. unlocked, and enforces appropriate limitations when locked. IMHO, the only things you should be able to do at the lock screen are 1) unlock the phone, and 2) call emergency services (911). I would also concede 3) take a photo/video, because sometimes you want to capture a moment that you might miss if you wasted time unlocking the phone. Adding more operations increases the chance of exploitable bugs. -
