Soooo how is hard press different than long press on Android that has been around for many years?

Because this is Apple, so they invented it.

 

[biscuitsxluv]

I want the 3D touch! It's amazing!

 

[jdillings]

IPhone 6s Plus Pro coming.

I waiting for iPhone 6s Plus Pro (PRODUCT) RED

 

[samcraig]

So why do iPhones get this but not iPads? No taptic engine?

Well it can't be to avoid fragmentation, right? I mean.. Apple mocked others for fragmentation...

My thoughts exactly. This has existed on android phones for ages. Apple is about 4 years late. But I guess it's better late than never.

But they didn't innovate anything.

It looks spacey..

 

[Illuminated]

Rose gold to match your pink uggs, you basic bitches.

 

[pat500000]

1. iOS has had long press for 8 years
2. This is PRESSURE not LENGTH.

Notice how force touch on a homescreen icon does something different than long pressing on an icon? That should answer your question.

It's harder and less long.

But it does effectively the same thing. Long press on Android is like half a second so its really not that long. Besides, having to press hard and hold to do certain actions seems to take just the same amount of time.

 

[bushido]

nothing you couldnt bring to the iPhone 6 with a long press.

jailbreak community? get on it, thx!

 

[syphern]

RETINA HD!??

 

[TommyA6]

Craig on stage

 

[nutjob]

this is the funniest keynote thread for a while, dying non stop over here

Apple has really stepped it up this year.

 

[thatpluslife]

yup, buying it.

 

[CJM]

CRAIGY! Missed you.

 

[amirite]

Has Jony's voice become parody in anyone else's mind?

It's approaching that level. They need to make these videos thinner and lighter and magically innovate his voice out of them....

 

[samcraig]

Well of course you wouldn't like it but maybe someone who is able to understands the concepts will enjoy it (and to avoid an unnecessary OMG - I did not say that you don't understand them )

I never said I didn't like it. I just think it's silly to keep changing the naming convention.

p.s. All touch is 3D. So - it's obvious at least.

 

[Flow39]

Now I want a 6s+, but have no $ left haha

 

[Tech198]

its either gonna be good, or confusing..

 

[Enygmatic]

New gestures....peak and pop
