3D Touch in iOS 10: Respond to Notifications, Share Apps, Adjust Control Center Settings and More

It is really starting to baffle me why they didn't add 3D touch to iPhone SE. I know with ios 9 the 3D touch implementation was lacking and you could understand really live without it. But now with iOS 10 3D touch actually has a purpose.
They should have added 3D touch to iPhone SE.

I don't have an iPhone. I don't have the money.
But it puzzles me that 9 years after the original iPhone removing all notifications at once can be announced as a feature.
Or was this a feature because it is now possible through 3D touch and before there was another way?

My experience so far is that given to the fact that you still have "long press" as well, you have twice the potential for features in general. Don't forget that long press is already implemented systemwide as a means to copy/paste/delete apps etc. and remains that way with the 3D Touch capable devices as well.
Well they would have had to invest in making all new screens to fit the iPhone 5s shell. That would have driven up the cost compared to just using the same iPhone 5s screens and would have put the SE right up there with the 6S in price and that's not the strategy they wanted to pursue with this form factor, unfortunately. I'd be happy to pay 6S prices for the convenience of having flagship specs on the smallest iPhone. But I don't think Apple thought there were enough consumers like me out there to go in that direction with the SE.
3D Touch is actually very useful. Too bad it requires such a high barrier to entry.
I get it. It's another gateway feature to entice people to upgrade their iPhones.
But it's still rather difficult to justify to the millions who just not so long ago, purchased an iPhone 6 or 6+.

It would be great if the Bluetooth and Wifi both had 3D Touch capabilities in Control Center so we don't have to keep going to system preferences to reconnect to a device/wifi or add such connection.
Question : When you 3D Touch the Do not Disturb icon in control center, what options do we see (if any)?
I have been asking for years a time-limited DND option because i often forget to remove DND after a meeting, making me miss calls. I have written Apple the last 3 updates to request a choice like "30 min, 1 hour-2 hours- all morning, all afternoon, all night" until it exists DND Mode. 3D Touch would be a great way to implement it.
Is that function there?
Thanks

Because they would have to redesign the phone to account for the new screen technology and he haptic engine and that means not quite being able to build it on the 5s design and this spend more money on it which would then make the phone cost more, which isn't what Apple was going for with the SE.
What barrier is that? New technology? If yoU have an older car and want a lane departure system or early warning braking system can you retrofit it? Same with the iPhone. Tech advances and if you want Apple Pay need an iPhone 6 or later or get an AW.
I haven't seen it in any of the demo videos or posts yet but does anyone know if you can launch web links from the lock screen say if someone messages you a URL or do you still need to unlock, open the app and launch the link?
UI noise, great term! I have long been hating iOS UI starting from 7 and now you have got me the exact word to describe my feeling. Ever since iOS 7, I thought about why simulating what we have in life when designing UI and why we need a button to look like a button even in real life. I think the short answer is that we don't get to confuse that a button is part of the content on the electronic screen or a button is part of the background it's fixed on. For example, if it's not for the contour of the button used for elevators, it would be hard to tell at the first sight where to tap as the button would look blended into its background which might be a piece of wall. And even if you know where to tap, you would be likely applying more attention to make sure you tap right at the center of the up/down sign as it's not clear how large the operative area is.
The scenario applies the same to UI design. Take safari for example. I used to be able to tell easily what is UI and what is content. And I am confident that UI is always there for me to interact. Now it's no longer the case. You have to play tricks to get the UI out and pay attention not to confuse UI for content so that you know where you want to touch.
Thank you for reminding us all of the feeling that "feels like an Apple product".
If you read what I posted you would have understood the high barrier is cost.
No issues with tech moving forward, what I'm saying is justifying the cost.
Do you think the majority of iPhone 6 owners who forked out $700 will upgrade for 3D Touch? I doubt it.
No surprise.
Months ago when it was introduced those with imagination immediately saw the potential, knowing features would soon be coming. Those without just mocked it a worthless feature they'd never use.
Cost is a high barrier to who? that is a general statement without any substance.
To your question, I don't know who will upgrade to what and for what reason. I don't think you do either.
Agreed, I did see the potential as well - at least somewhat anyway. But I knew it going to get better as time goes on.
The more widespread and useful it gets, the less room for denial there will be. I'm glad I'll be along for the ride.
3D touch is a great new thing I enjoy on my 6s, however I think that apple should be slapped a little for abandoning their customers with the iphone 6 and 5S... Yes the customers who have these phones shouldn't be left in the dust. I am not talking about adding 3d touch to them, I get it's not possible. What I am referring to is the shortcuts for some of the basic functions... like the low power battery mode, I think with the improvements in siri the flip up' shortcut for the clock can be removed and replace with the battery option, shoot I'd like this on my 6s... also with the IOS10 coming up some great improvements, but I will the flip up menu could be customized to better suit its user... the sliding to the left for music, and right for whatever they said is LAME! That menu doesn't work for everyone... why not just make a Music app shortcut... instead of all this Left/Right BS. Apple you need to think beyond yourself and allow some more customizations per user...
The iOS support for the feature should have been there though from the get go, not a year and more later. That disappoints me about this situation.
High to me.
Your argument could be for all the posts here. We're all guessing. But that's what a forum is for discussion, conjecture and opinions. Chill.
iOS support was there right from the get go when the 6s was inroduced, handling new OS features, and is being expanded with the next iOS update.
Still, despite that, there were so many here with no imagination that quickly deemed it a FAIL/boring when introduced, as is typically the case here when Apple introduces something new.
