New iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro Models Ditch 3D Touch in Favor of Haptic Touch

Do you mean a Pro user feature?

That was the problem with 3D Touch - everyone had to have it i.e. the hardware components. It would’ve been better if 3D Touch had just been on a pro phone - Apple obviously don’t think this (given that they’ve just launched pro phones).

Weak. So here’s a question for you guys with the XR:

My favorite thing about 3D Touch is controlling the cursor; I press hard on the keyboard to initiate the mode where sliding my finger across the keyboard will move the cursor. This can be done by long press, I assume. However, when I move the cursor over to a certain word, I can hard press again to highlight that word. If I hard press twice fast, I highlight the entire sentence. If I hard press once and then hard press again, I deselect the word/sentence previously highlighted.

Does Craptic Touch have equivalent functionality to this?

No. To select text once in cursor mode, you need to tap with another finger.

It doesn't do that on mine. Force touch to move the cursor, press and hold to start selecting text. There's no second level of force touch for me (XS, IOS 12)

Press harder? It's an official feature.
