Apple announced the new iPhone 11 phones and it has made progress in all the technical aspects of the device other than the 3D Touch technology, as it has been removed and replaced by the “Haptic Touch” technology on the iPhone XR and this is the first time that Apple abandoned technology in its devices. By removing it without providing a better alternative, what are the reasons behind this?
What is 3D touch technology?
Apple announced this feature in 2015 As a revolutionary feature with the iPhone 6s, it enables the iPhone to sense the force of pressure on the screen so that you can access quick shortcuts to applications and quickly review links and images by simply pressing strongly on the screen to shorten the time. The benefits of this feature extend much further, as it has been used by developers in games And with various other applications, one of the biggest benefits that I cannot do without personally is using it on the iPhone keyboard to move between lines while typing.
Why did Apple abandon it?
There are several reasons for this In fact, it is a hidden and non-main feature of the iPhone phones compared to the screen, camera, Face ID, and other features that are basic and apparent. In practice, most iPhone users do not use it on a daily basis and many of them do not know its existence !!! The feature was promoted with the release of the iPhone 6s. If a normal person skipped buying it and got directly on the iPhone 7 for example or later, it is easy to forget that the feature is available in the device because it is not essential and will not see it in the advertisements for his device because it is considered old and it is illogical to mention it in the promotion This causes him to continue using the phone normally without it. Apple realized this, so it promoted the feature as a main selling point for the iPhone 6s and placed huge screens in some of its stores to sense the strength of touch, but this was not enough because all the iPhone devices that were released after the 6s came with features that discarded 3D Touch, and the technology takes space inside The device and its removal enabled Apple to add more useful features to the user, such as increasing the battery capacity.
Is giving up 3D Touch a good decision?
The answer here varies from person to person for Apple. The feature is expensive and takes up space from the device’s components, and only a limited number of users use it. The same is true for most users. Providing a larger battery capacity is important for most iPhone users. Apple also provided an alternative to the Haptic Touch feature, which relies on prolonged touch. For the screen and it provides most of the features of 3D Touch, but as a personal opinion, the matter is a little complicated, as I was one of the most admirers of the feature when it was launched and one of the most users of it, and I thought that it had a bright future in the field of games specifically, but in the end the market is the one who rules.
After iOS 13, Haptic Touch for everyone
In the past, the advantages of 3D Touch were limited to only owners of devices that support this technology, but after the update to iOS 13 everyone has an alternative feature to 3D Touch, which is Haptic Touch, and this feature is very similar to 3D Touch The difference is that the device does not feel strongly Pressing, but waiting to press and holding, so in order to know the difference between 3D Touch and Haptic Touch is just a second waiting. Therefore, Apple's decision to dispense with 3D Touch is completely ineffective, except for only the software that was using it to feel the pressure.
Dear friends, this feature, most of you will not feel it now, except for those who used it to move the writing police between the lines and with pressure, you can choose a word or a group of words, really an amazing feature, may God have mercy on her
Yeah; I use it frequently, but it crashes on my 7+.
If any of you have a solution, please help me. Thank you.
Hi
I have notifications in all applications. If it arrives on the lock screen, press and hold to respond to it through the lock screen as much as I can. Even if the lock screen is open, note that the shortcut camera and flashlight when pressed on the lock screen works without any problems with prolonged pressure. The problem does not come to me except In the lock screen, I respond to notifications only, knowing that all the settings are correct. Restore worked for a short time and returned the same problem. I don’t know if there is a defect in the device iPhone 11 Pro
Whoever has the same iPhone, I hope it will help me
About myself, I see 3D Touch technology as a breakthrough in technology that cannot be replaced and indispensable
Lol, I thought that this feature was launched with the iPhone 7 because I bought it after the iPhone 6 and not the 6s, and the feature is very useful for me, and if it uses hardware hardware to run it with these devices, there is no need to delete it
an important question!? Are 3D Touch live wallpapers canceled !?
Especially on the last 11 iPhones !! ???
I expect the technology to raise the future devices from Apple in order to put the fingerprint under the screen.
I'm not used to a haptic touch yet 😪 I think the touch3d is better
My brothers .. the feature is still there .. I'm on XNUMX on the iPhone X and it is on and the difference is clear between it and the long touch feature .. The clearest place you see it is the lock screen when you press the camera or the lighting
My brother, there is a video on YouTube, a test of the iPhone batteries. The strange thing is that the XR is superior to the regular iPhone 11 and says the regular iPhone 11 has a noticeable temperature.
Something very strange
I wish you could decide on this matter, brother
IPhone 11 should be a practical device, if it has heat and bad battery, we go back to the XR
Away from the feature and the article ,, the sensitivity in the Islam iPhone application has become high, when I move the screen up or down my hand comes on links and it opens unintentionally as soon as you swipe your finger opens a page, and I am also for those who find a place to communicate with you to talk about the problem, please take note only and uncle Posting the comment because it is outside the subject of the article Thank you
Yes, it is true, brother. The same thing happened to me several times.
In addition to that, a synchronized application is slow to browse and freezes most of the time.
And the team in charge of updates is not there.
I'm like you,
I also suffered in this article
I am affected by the cancellation of the feature, I used it and relied on it on a daily basis 😤
I do not use it or rather I did not know about it
Who among you uses 3D Touch to enter the open programs in the background by clicking on the edge of the screen or switching between two programs?
Now the feature is not present in the phone and I had to press the home button twice
For your information, when changing the phone language to a foreign language, I find it works normally. Is it removed from the Arabic language or is it a mistake. Software will be corrected in future versions
Thank you
I love this feature and I use it a lot 😘 I have the iPhone 6s version I have iOS 13.1.2 and this feature is 3d touch after I have a strong press on the application, the device vibrates and the tools menu appears and when I press strongly on the right the screen strongly vibrates the device and shows the applications I have I used it while you were in the article saying that Apple removed it and it is in my possession. There are no changes to 3d touch in the version of iOS 13, and this feature is 3d touch after that its settings are in the settings, the facilities of use 🤔👀
Are you sure to open the background programs by clicking on the side of the screen when the phone language is Arabic?
Frankly, I have a lost 6s phone that is only available in foreign languages
That is, by God, my brother, I am sure, and the language I have is Arabic. When I press the side of the screen strongly, the device vibrates and I have the applications that I have opened
My brother, I knew why I have it tuned, and you have no. I am blind and uncle. I used the VoiceOver system, this system from Apple, the screen content reader. When I turn on this system, I have the long press on the side of the screen. And what you use this system, yes, it responds with you to prolonged pressure, and I am surprised that this thing could be a mistake in the version or in a modification in the system
I mean, what is responding
Thank you
I thought that the difference between 3D touch and haptic touch was a big difference, and in order to feel the difference, I went to Settings, Convenience> Touch, and turned off 3D Touch, and I experimented with little difference. Apple's decision to ditch the feature and replace it with a haptic touch was an excellent decision.
Gltan brother, 3d touch has other features that are supported by third-party applications such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter and many other applications, the feature is outdated and almost no application is devoid of this feature, for example, but not limited to, the WhatsApp application, if you want to read a conversation without entering it, you only have to Light pressure on the conversation, try to turn off the feature from the settings as you say, and then you can not read the conversation without entering it, this is one of the great features of 3D Touch, and unfortunately Apple will eliminate it completely in future devices as well.
I am a big fan of the feature ☹️
Peace, mercy and blessings of God
Is there a difference in the iPhone Arabic version and the Chinese version?
I want to buy the iPhone, the Chinese version, because of the possibility of installing two SIM cards.
And I fear that there will be some restrictions on the Chinese version (the software) in terms of communication, network and jealousy.
I mean, Apple does not have an answer for the reason !!! You are the one who hunters the situation, and you say the reason is that it is a hidden technology and what is its use ???? Nor is your job just tinkering in tinkering ???
I told what I wanted
A very unfortunate decision, as I used to use it daily, especially in editing texts, posts, and shortcuts
Most of the games that I play are 3D certified and the most important thing is pubg
I don’t know how to manage a situation with her: /
Apple is known to neglect technologies that do not benefit the user, as it shies away from stuffing the device with unused technologies like other companies.
The worst decision Apple made in a year after Steve Jobs was fired
Stupidity
I did not compel me, but I got used to it in everything, especially on the keyboard, to select, copy and delete
God help us
I'm thinking about giving my L8 Plus two or three years more, so Apple can answer technology like that
Or until you return it and change its name and say about it (brand new)
Apple was the first to use it in the iPhone 6s, and then Huawei in the P9 plus, then Huawei preceded by dispensing with it in the same way that Apple dispensed with it .. It is just a saving in the manufacturing cost
Killed!
