Would you remove 3D Touch in favor of Haptic Touch?
3D Touch initially appeared on Watch in 2014 as Force Touch and later in 2015 asiPhone with the release of iPhone 6s This function allowed us to perform certain actions and display menus based on the pressure we exerted on the screen.
When it came out officially on the iPhone it had both supporters and detractors. But the truth is that, for many people, right now it is essential.In fact, there are quite useful features, such as the ability to preview links and messages in the notification center, or display actions from app icons.
Remove 3D Touch could be an option on future devices that lack the layer that enables it, exporting functions via Haptic Touch
But, both from what was seen in the Keynote in which iOS 13 was presented, and from details that became known about the OS afterwards, it seems that Apple has chosen to replace 3D Touch to Haptic Touch That is, it will change the long press to a long function. And this would happen both on the iPad, carrying all the gestures of 3D Touch, and on the iPhone XRBut it also seems to happen with iPhone that have 3D Touch integrated.
Different options that WhatsApp allows through 3D Touch
Is this a good idea? It seems that Apple is not so clear. A user on Twitter sent an email to Craig Federighi asking him about 3D Touch In the email, the user let him know that, in the icons of apps on an iPhone with 3D Touch, it didn't work and was replaced by a long press.
The user received a response to this email. And what Federighi told him was that the action he was mentioning (ineffectiveness of3D Touchon an iPhone that had it) must be a bug. And actually encouraged the user to try the next beta.
Some of the functions that Facebook allowed
From this, it can be extracted that it seems that Apple does not want to replace the 3D Touch on those devices that have it. It is normal that, in devices that do not have the layer that enables 3D Touch, all the actions of the layer are exported and can be performed with Haptic Touch , but on devices that have such a layer, we think it's pointless to disable it in order to enable 3D Touch via software.
