I loved 3D Touch on my 8+. Longest (3 yrs.) I’ve ever kept a phone in part due to peek & pop 👌

iOS 17: How to Make Haptic Touch Faster on iPhone

3D Touch is the reason I'm still holding onto my XS (and will for the foreseeable future). I've seen where patents have come across as possible 3D Touch replacements but that's probably years from now (if ever at all).
Isn’t that what the Hidden album is for? Not that I know what you’re talking about.

Thank god! This is such a welcome feature. I miss Force Touch. That was genuinely an innovation.
Peek and Pop. You will be missed 
3D touch was lightning fast. Haptic touch blows chunks. Takes too long to activate and sometimes it doesn't activate at all and I end up with a random word on my screen because it thinks I swyped.

Good article and it should be a good enough substitute for 3D touch
Haptic Touch allows for the "unintended input" that Steve Jobs was so proud that the original iPhone ignored. Can't tell you how many times my screen has wiggling icons because my finger was resting on the screen for a moment. Haptic touch really does pale in comparison to 3D Touch but we are where we are.
Despite them only having mentioned peek and pop as the two levels of pressure, it worked just like an analog joystick. It measured every level of pressure (up to some max, of course) and it was cool to manipulate the 3D Touch wallpapers with many different levels of pressure. Haptic Touch fans just don't understand analog joysticks is all. 🤣Peek and Pop. You will be missed

Also I know people who accidentally activate the camera every time they set the phone down, so it just sits there burning battery trying to focus on the counter or couch cushion.
The iPhone seriously needs some customizability. And not just new ways to show pictures.
→ That's what I remember: Apple wanting to simplify the screen and reduce its thickness.
Neat setting, I prefer the fast setting of the touch duration, it feels snappier and more on point.
Those accessibility options are becoming a nerd's settings trove. I think it is questionable to assume those only are accessibility settings so to say.
You can hide individual pictures by tapping the three dots at the top and selecting 'hide'. Pictures get locked in a hidden album and are to be unlocked by using face recognition or finger print.
Another work around is to move pictures in a locked note
It took me a second but it’s physical category, then motor subcategory. They aren’t actually grouped together in name.
