NIce armchair gloss-over. On both Craig Federighi and Tim Cook. Who was picked by Jobs to be the next CEO. Your characterization of him barely knowing about products was quite funny; though you apparently think you know him well. And believing he doesn't push for innovation is quite laughable and dismissive.
Is he just like Steve Jobs? Of course not. Neither is anyone else at Apple. Cook is doing an outstanding job, based on any metric. Bottom line is under his leadership, he continues to deliver products people want and are willing to open their wallets for, and at a premium price. Year after year, since replacing Jobs.
“Question from Zahn: Could we at least make the 3D Touch app switch gesture an option in iOS 11 so that I could retain the ability to switch apps that way instead of having to double tap the home button?
Response from Federighi: Hi Adam, What’s with this “we” sh|t…”
Response from Federighi: Hi Adam, What’s with this “we” sh|t…”
And that's why you wait until x.1 if you're smart. I learned my lesson with iOS 7.
how did people live for years before electricity was discovered? By not knowing or experiencing electricity. Take electricity away now and see what happens. Ignorance is bliss.
Probably the most laughable and dismissive thing about all this is that you think Cook is doing an outstanding job “on any metric.”
You clearly are blindsided by your views, and unwilling to look further. Riding on the coattails of their successor does not qualify as good leadership in my books. This conversation is over for me; good day.
Add me to the list of people that appreciate this news. Since this feature was put out there, I never heard anyone say or saw any posts saying they hated it and Apple should get rid of it. Then when it went away it "seemed" as though many people were upset and wanted it back. Not until today, when they announce it is coming back, have I read people saying they hate it. I cant imagine there being a way to toggle it off, unless you toggle off 3d touch for everything. I just found it a lot easier to get to app switcher using that, then double tapping home button. Not sure what Iphone X would do without home button?
very glad to hear this is coming back. I really hate using the home button (like an animal) to switch apps and the lack of Force Touch app-switching almost stopped me upgrading to iOS11.
None of those issues affecting my 6S+ running iOS11. Love the OS animations - actually the OS all-round feels snappier™ than before.

I sent them feedback about that and apparently many other people did the same.
But when the beta was out people started complaining about it immediately, they should have put it back before the official release.
I don't understand what technical reason would prevent it from working
Message to Craig:
No iOS-appstore on the Mac equals no more buying iOS-apps or even browsing for apps for me. Sorry developers, but I need to thank Apple for the removal of the app-store from iTunes in such a sneaky way, (without warning or explanation) with no alternative (I Don't want to have download the same app several times!!!). Because now I won't be spending money on apps any more. Browsing the iOS App Store on an iOS-device is just a pain I let pass bye.
Other companies have been called 'Evil' for a move like this. Welcome to the club, Apple?

Maybe this might be a 'eureka moment' for you, but not to many others. Repeat after me, 'Software is never really done, it's only shipped'.
You should now be ready to be back to the ground after spending so much time on that mighty high horse of yours.
Back to the main topic, I would so much like the 3D Touch app switcher back.

I love 3D Touch vs just Touch Alone.
- I can do 1 simple action for 3 things (selection being the initial first)
- I can do things 1 step faster due to this.
- You're NOT thinking about how 3D touch can enhance or benefit those with motor control accuracy in the X/Y plane axis (e.g. swiping right/left-to-left/right)!!
Try thinking beyond just your needs for software delivered to millions.
Oh really? It seems every time he speaks, Apple's stock dips 3% like yesterday!
You just contradicted yourself.
1999 start for Fredirigi
1998 start for Cook
who worked at Apple longer than who?
To be honest I feel Craig PAILS in comparison to the work that Bertrand had done! OSX to macOS (X) has shown lack of powerful implementations; where the biggest introduction is how Apple got the name. Those peeons grinning and smiling in 2nd/3rd row for EVERY WWDC or Apple Presentation is so annoying.
Lack of Q&A - is diminishing on point feedback where these executives are FORCED to think and not simply rehash rehersed dialog. I hat to bring his name into it but only for reflection - Jobs LOATHED the Q&A BUT he did it and did it VERY well EVEN when he was wrong!

Craig worked for Next under Jobs, then Apple and then went to the other company for several years. He returned in 1999, not 2009 ( that's a typo ). In essence, he's been around longer than Cook.
Wow! You count those as SEVERE bugs?!?
You have a career waiting for you in Software Testing!
Hint: Better never test ANY Android phone...
...of course it will return. Just like audiobooks with chapters in iOS 7, certain things just needs to disappear from time to time. It was reliable wifi in yosemite and USB in el cap (or was that in 10.10, too?). Your missed feature will be back in the next major iOS revision along with new bugs. Just keep updating, that's the thing.
