I really love it. Especially for turning the keyboard into a trackpad, selecting text etc. LOVE it. Does it need some fine-tuning? Absolutely. But the future is here, and it will involve 3D Touch.
Got a tip for us?

3D Touch makes sense

It is like anything, nothing is perfect first time around. Plus hardly any apps make use of it now but wait until they do and it will make even more sense then.
I'm sure Electrics will be along to disagree shortly. If he doesn't then he will be conspicuous by his absence.
I don't really like force touch. If you're pressing down its pretty much just a man atm screen after that.
When you go into 3D Touch settings and try out the different sensitivities there seems to be naff-all difference between light/medium/firm.
You have to remember. Apple makes money from hardware. They give their software for free. So it makes since they focus on usable hardware in order to sell new devices.
Let's take a look at Apple and how they continue leaving their competitors in the dust:
The original iPhone itself. Took the world by storm simply by having a touch screen.
Camera. Apple is consistently the best camera in smartphones year after year.
64-bit CPU's. Totally caught everyone off guard.
Touch ID. Google is just now getting on board with this. Apple has had this for 3 years now.
3D Touch. No one saw that coming. Adds so much functionality and speed to using the phone.
It's a shame Apple has no real software skills as noted how everyone puts Apple apps in a folder on the last page of their device.

3D Touch is very useful. Just yesterday I was looking at the accessories forum looking for new cases, and instead of opening and closing a million tabs, I used the peak feature on Amazon links. If a case grabbed my interest, I would pop the page open. It saves a lot of time.
Camera: the iPhone hasn't had the best camera for over a year.
3D Touch: I think Nokia may have seen that one first.
The rest of your post I agree with.
The smartphone was out way before the iPhone, and yet you missed the point. No one gave a hoot about a Nokia. Android camera are notorious for being inconsistent.
@Electrics seems to have gone very quite on this thread. He is not so mouthy now that he knows he is wrong. Some of his post are gone as well.
You have got to love people that give it the big I am and then disappear when they know they are wrong.
On another note does anyone find that 3D Touch is working a little different on 9.0.2, especially going to open apps?
It depends on what android camera you're using I suppose. For me from the Note 4 onwards Samsung Galaxy cameras have been much better than the iPhone.
Speaking of Nokia, they themselves were camera leaders for a long time.
