Don't get me wrong, the upgrade is worth it. Yet, I never thought I'd miss 3D Touch this much – used it every day. Adjusting to the changes, but it's definitely a shift!

i’m sorry if i sound silly, but what is the difference between 3d touch and whatever it is we have now

[–] beanie_0@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Me too! The biggest thing I miss from the old iPhones! I even put off updating my Apple Watch because it still had 3D Touch 😭

[–] Fresh_Age_1517@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Good to know, I’ll be upgrading from an iPhone 7 to the iPhone 15 soon

[–] Kailos32@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I miss the camera taking up a less than a sixth of the phones size! But yeah deffo miss 3D Touch also.

[–] Hello56845864@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Can someone explain was 3D Touch was? I remember having it but it’s a confusing name

[–] NuMotiv@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Why they didn’t just do googles pixel smush is beyond me…. Same thing, zero tech.

[–] Nintendocub@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Good lord I miss 3D Touch

[–] eneiner@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The UX is terrible without it. Long press is a mess.

[–] besthuman@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Me too.
It's the only thing better about iOS/iPhone from the past.
The experience was notably better, and still has yet to be matched.

[–] Soldiiier__@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It was absolutely one of my favourite features scrolling through text and selecting with one finger. Underrated feature

[–] Godlike_50@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What is 3D Touch?

[–] ileukocyte@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

i'd only used 3d touch on my 6s for a couple months before i broke it and switched to android for a few years, and yet i still kinda miss it on my current 13 after all

[–] sudo-rm-r@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

So do I. It was an awesome feature.

[–] csteinbergrules@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

XS and XS Max are the last iPhones remaining with 3D Touch. Once they’re dropped, it will be officially dead.

[–] joeyvesh13@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can this come back with software?

[–] DarkLord55_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’ll be the minority, I hated 3D Touch I constantly would “peek” into things by accident

Most people don't upgrade a phone every year. There are probably way more people rocking an iPhone 8 right now than an iPhone 15..

[–] candyraver@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

For a recent iPhone owner. What did I miss out on?

[–] baktu7@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I miss your mom.

[–] Vegetable-Way-5737@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Hiii, ain't an iphone personn, can anyone explain to me what was 3d touch ?

[–] Mmzstyles@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The haptic touch could be changed to fast Youll love it

[–] tahatmat@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I really miss 3D touch for navigating text. Upgraded from iPhone 8 a few months back.

[–] ketchupandliqour69@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Dude I loved it too but you’ll get past it soon. I also used it daily

[–] TuiKiwi@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] Sonic_WB@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Apple doesn’t care what you think. Either way I’m sure you’ll keep buying it

[–] Witherboss445@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I really hope they bring it back, or Samsung or another Android manufacturer implements something similar

[–] i_saoud@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I loved it so much

[–] mr_whoisGAMER@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I miss metal back phones

[–] SquareAmphibian7581@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I also cant turn the lights on, its just feels shit

[–] ERO_Reddit_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I love 3D! Made everything faster and just felt natural!

[–] Se-memer-N0WH3RE@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I also was sad it got removed, I was cranked in Cod mobile on my IPhone 8, i used to shoot with 3D touch. Well i got used to playing claw with my iPad after a while but still, im not able to play it on my Phone anymore because in Legendary ranked you just gotta be destroyed and its not possible to play decently with just 2 fingers or shitty 4 finger claw on mobile

[–] Top-Garlic-3856@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Good to know, I’ll be upgrading from an iPhone 7 to the iPhone 15 soon.... thought i was alone

[–] lazychairmen@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I remember getting 3D Touch on my 6S and they spoke like it’s the future and I got so hype with my phone.

Then within a year they just went “we made a dumb mistake, all you need to do is long hold instead of 3D press, 3D Touch is pointless”

[–] Antonov1996@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I miss the old reliable touch id

[–] Tmaster95@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Haptic touch now is just as good as it. You can shorten the timespan you have to press something in the settings. The new "short" option makes it so responsive and just as fast as 3d touch. I love it!

[–] VariousSociety643@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

i would sacrifice the app library and widgets to get 3d touch back. both are features i dont use at all because i think they were executed very poorly. 3d touch on the other hand was in daily use and it felt amazing

[–] Kareemmehrez@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Haptic touch with fast response is exactly the same as 3D touch. Without need to press harder

[–] Higher_Primate3@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I miss my 7+

[–] AbsoluteSquidward@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Mann me too

[–] diegocamp@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Meh. People always complain about this. I used 3D touch a lot when it came out but now we have so many ways of doing the same thing on iOS that i don’t really see the need for it anymore. Besides haptic touch it’s just the same.

[–] RoninNinjaTv@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I miss home button

[–] notmanuelsantana@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I loved 3D Touch too

[–] skippinjack@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Any smart person does. Haptic Touch is absolutely pitiful by comparison.
