Because, speaking as a Developer, Software is NEVER "Finished", and you HAVE to release SOMETIME...
it most likely is. but why would apple implement it to an iphone with no plans on the ipad at all? i'm sure these technical challenges didn't magically appear recently.
Fact of the matter is if you own an iphone and an ipad and you are used to using forced touch, it would be somewhat jarring to use an ipad.
Is it? I've been a long time searching for a way to disable switching apps using 3D Touch, not disable it for everything.
Do you have a screenshot?
I'd like to see Craig as CEO someday, but now is not the time. Tim is doing fine. He's no Steve, but then again, no one is.
Yeah, kind of like text messaging should be killed because there are people who just don't use it or even care about it.
How did people manage to live without that for years and years prior to 3D Touch, and even today with still many devices out there that don't have 3D Touch.
The tone of this brightened my work day. Thank you.

Skipping this years models, but I wondered this myself.
this was the feature I thought was a bad decision when they removed it :/ glad its coming back! I wonder if it will be on the iPhone X or strictly models with a home button.
The X is like the size of the 4.7 iPhone so readability is not really needed

As opposed to letting the COO take over? Tim Cook is Apple's Steve Ballmer: he'll keep the company running and profitable. But better things happen when you let a product guy be the CEO of a tech company, rather than a bean counting numbers/operations guy.
If Steve Jobs wasn't proof of that, check out what's going on with Microsoft after they made a tech/product oriented guy (who was a previous SVP of R&D) the CEO: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satya_Nadella#Career
You didn't answer my question. But OK, got it. Qualifications are simply being a "product guy." There are thousands of those in silicon valley. Any one of them should be good leading a 120K employee, $200B+/yr company.
Yeah I have to agree. Not saying Craig should or shouldn't be CEO, but as much as a CEO is required to oversee many more functions, having the tech experience brings a lot to the table.
Reachability is still there for the 4.7 in iPhones (and X is at least somewhat larger).
Well let’s start with the 3 touch lagg/drooped frames.
Or we can go with animation stutter/lagg littered throughout the OS.
Or my notification text misaligned with the actual bubble..
Or how rearranging icons is painfully slow, the icon moves like its being dragged through molasses.
It's the example of the opportunistic (bad thought-out) Apple - inventing a gimmick that however couldn't be scaled/made mainstream - just like the TouchBar.
It could be emulated in software however as click-hold. That's what I expect to happen.

Come on... none of that are even remotely classified as “severe” and only one of those can be considered a bug.
I am on 6s and i experience smoother performance than ios10. Two most prominent examples are that with ios 10 when i scrolled through messages and multitask i got stutters. With ios 11 these are completely eliminated.
I tried using this feature and I disagree how people say it is so much faster than a double press of the home button.
I think it depends on how phone is uses...
I use my iPhone 7plus one-handed most of the time and it is pretty hard to hold/rest in my right and, reach over with my thumb and do this 3d touch multitasking which requires an awkward reach/press. I can press the home button twice rapidly with no issue so I do not understand how some think this is more convoluted.
Most demonstrations of the 3D touch mulitasking I have seen show the iPhone being operated two handed. It also looks very slow.
I don't miss it at all with IOS 11... hope Apple doesn't waste time bringing this back and rather make it more like how iPhone X works.

Actually, I did answer your question. But here it is in other, more specific words so you can understand it better:
The "product guy" at Microsoft that was SVP of R&D before becoming CEO has increased Microsoft's revenue and market cap significantly since he's been CEO. Actually about to double what Microsoft pushed out annually under Steve Ballmer... that too in 3 years.
Craig's qualification isn't simply being a "product guy." It is being the SVP of Software for a $200B+/yr company with 120K employees, and being heavily involved in the company for almost a decade. You think just because he is in software engineering, he doesn't know anything else about Apple? The hardware? The services sector? The retail aspect? Even if he does, he doesn't need to know or be an expert in those sectors. Look at Tim Cook: he barely knows about products or software. (Okay, that is blatantly my opinion). No CEO about a company this large knows about all the functions or sectors, or is an expert in all of them. That's why there's SVP's, advisors, a board, and other support systems.
Tech companies need and deserve product/tech CEO's that will stay with the times and push for innovation. Operations people make good CEO's for operations companies.
I’m not sure you’ll need it since the phone is almost the same size as an iPhone 8.
