By now, you’ve probably heard that the iPhone XR features a new technology called Haptic Touch instead of the usual 3D Touch. Haptic…
Not liking this. 3D Touch is my most favorite feature on iPhone. Can’t fathom it’s disappearance.
3D Touch could have been „long press“ since day 1. Wasted engineering effort, like the cMP.

If true that 3D Touch will be eliminated completely from new 2019 models, then good riddance.
It is something that most iPhone owners do not use, and most developers do not implement. Even Apple hasn’t been very good at making it useful. Getting rid of 3D Touch support completely will mean a more consistent iOS UI target for developers, and a more consistent UI experience for users.
3D Touch was useless from the beginning. And it makes the devices thicker and more expensive for Apple.
Long press and hold is the solution, works great on the spacebar for moving the cursor in iOS 12.
