I very much like 3D Touch.Gee. Am I the only one who likes 3D touch?
My only problem with 3D touch was that it wasn't (fully) implemented into more apps. And even in iOS it was underutilized.

Gee. Am I the only one who likes 3D touch?
I love it3D touch and the haptic 'phantom click' on MacBooks are impediments to a smooth user experience IMHO.
I shouldn't have to relearn how to use a device I've already been using for over 10 years for such a minor 'feature' enhancement. This is much of the problem with Apple these days. Creating useless new features to justify their job titles and compensation. Yet ignoring long standing bugs and glitches in their OSes, platforms and software.
So is it a long press, icons wiggle, keep pressing, then the menu pops up?
An avid user of 3D Touch, I've found the Haptic Touch replacement quite good once I stopped "pressing" the display. Just touch and when you feel the haptic feedback just release to get the Quick Actions menus. It's pretty quick and it's easier than 3D Touch. Touch and continue to hold after the haptic feedback to get the "wiggles".
Easily learned, though, App Switching is still 3D Touch.
I love 3D Touch and use it every time I use my phone. I was skeptical when they announce the iPhone XR wouldn’t have 3D Touch and swore I wouldn’t buy an iPhone without it. After using ios13 for the last few weeks it honestly wouldn’t bother me if they abandoned it now, the fake software 3D Touch is absolutely fine when you get used to it.

Really? You've never activated flashlight or the camera from the lock screen?I never used 3D Touch in my life so I won't miss it.
What bothers me the most about the new long press is that I have to really focus on when I need to release or else it goes into "wiggle mode" on the home screen. This behavior is what I have seen on the iPadOS beta. With 3D touch I just push hard on the screen and menus appear. I use it all the time, especially when I get in a car and want to use my AirPods to make a phone call.
Even more troublesome, I understand that those of us with phones that have 3D Touch already are going to lose it for long press when we update to iOS13? Ridiculous.
At least it will make future phones less expensive to produce when Apple removes that technology from the screen. I'm sure Apple will pass that saving on to the consumer...

I use 3D touch heavily, they'd better not remove it!
Totally. I would consider that a compliment to Tim Cook, though I'm not sure if you meant it that way. It reminds me of the auto-inject floppy drives that were in Macintosh computers ... and how they were discarded first by Apple. I can't remember if/when they removed that feature from the beige boxes, but I remember when they pulled the floppy drive altogether.Haptic Touch likely provides 80% of the user experience at 20% of the cost. It's a classic Tim Cook move.

from Wikipedia: Besides Sony, Apple was the first major manufacturer to start selling computers with 3 1⁄2-inch disk drives as well as the first to stop shipping them in 1998 with the introduction of the iMac.
That is a shame. The 3D Touch on a app to view shortcuts and the widget at a glance was great. Not to mention the notification expansion was handy. Maybe I’ll keep my XS on iOS 12 and since my iPP 12.9 2nd gen doesn’t have 3D Touch I’ll update it to iPadOS.I never used 3D Touch in my life so I won't miss it.
Long press takes longer. 3D Touch is more fluid.The problem with 3D Touch is there has never been a compelling, unique use case for it. Quick Actions are fine but just expose existing functionality more quickly rather than adding new functionality, and it's not clear to me that there's anything 3D Touch can do that a long press couldn't do. Classic "solution in search of a problem".
I'm afraid to tell you that on IOS 13, 3-D touch is disabled and reduced to haptic touch feedback. This is on a XS Max.i love it. i'm holding to my xs until at least 2020 if they, in fact, remove it. i'm so used to it, i really don't want to give it up...
