What is 3D Touch?

Found on the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, 3D Touch is a feature that detects and responds to how hard you press the screen. This is how it works.

3d touch it is also good for digital painting on the screen. You can release the proper amount of ink just pressing the screen with the proper amount of pressure.

3D Touch is Force Touch problem solved

Long press and 3D touch are completely different things.The purpose of 3D touch is to make UX snappier whereas the purpose of long press is to provide contextual actions.

For people saying Android has this, good for you. Now this is snother reason for NOT getting an Android phone.

I have Android phones in my home and they are laggy in comparison to iOS. At the end of the day good performance is BEST over how many useless features you can put in a device.

iOS has proven to be more reliable at that.

If you like Android, good for you... I like google and i love my Chromecast but Android is not their gem...

3D Touch is the most useful feature to come to phones in the past 5 years.

_What is 3D Touch?_ - Apple marketing BS.

Or you could just... Y'kno, tap the app like a normal person.

Couldn't they have just made it so u hold on to the app longer instead of pressing harder?

*No one uses 3D Touch when apple bring it up.

*New iPhone doesn’t have 3D Touch.

Those same people: WOW FOR A 750$ PHONE IT DOESNT EVEN HAVE 3D TOUCH ARE YOU KIDDING ME

The irony of "right click" when apple removed that from their mouse

2019 update:
what is 3d touch?
dead, apparently.

[teemo]

What's the difference from just holding down in the screen?

The 6+ was super innovative with the first ever folding phone design

[calebtaylor]

No one was ever complaining about pushing buttons, its the lag time between interfaces that really ever gets to people

[Fkidd]

So in other words. What android has been having

[lorddarkknight]

Now it’s officially gone from the 2019 iPhones :(

[KellyGeorgePH]

Am I the only one who's watching this in 2019 because it's gone?

From this video, I see no difference between what you achieve with longer (2D) press and what you can with harder 3D press.

This is no long press! (for people living with illusion)

When I have tried 3D/force touch it felt almost like pressing a button which I miss on phones. It senses pressure and you can "click" very quickly!
That is why I am using Blackberry with physical keyboard. Maybe if they discover how to change the display surface texture I can finally migrate to "touch" phones.
For now I am using physical keyboard as touchscreen typing is driving me crazy.
