Rethinking the Camera Lockscreen Button and Mobile UX

I don’t usually think about the camera button on my mobile devices. Its there. I assume that it will be ready when I need. And aside from maybe a confirmation to unlock the device, it just works. So, do mind my silly brain when I find that one of the new features coming for iPhone/iPad devices is the ability to take a photo right from the lock screen. It feels like a design compromise instead of the solution to a problem.
