Not very scientific test, just pressing start stop on the stop watch on Google with one hand and opening the photo app and taking a picture with the other a couple of times. On my iPhone SE 2nd gen, after some practise, I can get .5 to .75 seconds. When including unlocking the phone first, it's closer to 2s.

You don't need to unlock. Swipe right from the edge of the lock screen and you're there.

With that it's a bit over 1 sec. But timing is a bit odd, because it seems it has some delay between screen turning on automatically when picking up the phone and this gesture working. First swipe does nothing, second just moves the screen and bounces back without getting to the camera, third one works.

Now i feel like i could participate in some millennial version of a wild west quick draw shoot out :)

This was a delightfully thorough thread. Thank you!
