A long press is to 3D Touch as a trackpad with gestures is to a touchscreen. It’s a perfectly adequate thing, but it’s not the same.

A long press is to 3D Touch as a trackpad with gestures is to a touchscreen. It’s a perfectly adequate thing, but it’s not the same.
I don’t remember there being haptic feedback on the home screen gesture. But I’m actually a fan of the haptic feedback on the swipe up for multi-tasking gesture.
The thing is, even with haptics turned off the swipe to get to home screen was still providing the feedback. Annoying. Fixed now though.
I think the important thing to consider is that iPhone’s all get updated way more than Android phones, and there are inherently a lot more issues when you’re dealing with a range of hardware that goes from brand new cutting edge hardware to the stuff that was sold four or five years ago. Apple always errs on the side of performance, because they want to make sure the user experience is as smooth as possible.
I believe people read way too much into their motivations. I think they handle the vast majority of all their software updates for old phones responsibly and with the user experience in mind.

That might have been a bug with certain builds or hardware. I’ve never had that on my iPad Pro or iPhone X.
I disagree. Aside from being able to blink and raise eyebrows. I think it proves that the hardware is not needed as it ran on my 6s Plus. It’s Apple being Apple. This should also be on the 8.
Absolutely not. Animoji maps animates 50 different points in 3D on your face using the dot blaster for Hollywood grade motion tracking. Simply not possible using a 2D image from a camera.
Can't wait for the 12.x Beta. It's got to be better than 11.x (Beta and the real McCoy. IMO, 11.x is the worst iOS EVER.
3D Touch and a long touch are two different things. The UI currentry treats them seperatly and in places both are different actions with unique outcomes when triggered on the same control. For example long pressing an icon on the dock and force pressing a (supported) icon will have different outcomes.
Sure it "could" be consolidated but there'd need to be a redesign of the OS as the two functions aren't currently interchangable. Long taps been in the OS since forever as well.
That can't do quite a bit of what 3D Touch can, plus in various places that's already being used for something else and therefore can't provide the additional features that 3D Touch can in those places.

Sometimes there isn't one for the first beta, other times it just comes later on.

Per Everything New in iOS 11.3: iCloud Messages, Animoji, Health Records, AirPlay 2 and More seems like it's part of iOS 11.3 beta 1.
If only Apple would read and fix their bugs in Apple seed bug reporter. They crashed my m iPhone 7 since 11.2 and no fix still. So frustrating when they add new things and can’t fix existing issues that are so consistently reproduced with crash dumps.
So, curiosity here but, do the aniemojis stand for China (Dragon), Canada (Bear), Mexico (Skeleton) and Africa (Lion)? Just wondering because thats the first thing i think of, especially given Cook just went to Canada and Apple is always trying to play nice with the Asian markets.
*edit* i was actually thinking yesterday and the Bear could be Russia or Canada...

Works for me. Well, I press touchID at the "select view note" screen as that's when the touchID option is visible.
It’s been a while since I used Siri in my phone (until this evening), but - how long has that awful stutter been a thing? Is that new to this beta?
This is why I wish Apple would drop the betas. It’s just not the same anymore.
