Other Who else has disabled 3D Touch on their current iPhone in preparation for iPhone 11 Pro?

[JPack]

iOS 13 fully supports 3D Touch

I use it every day why would i disable it

The OP was coming from a POV where you don’t use it now, which doesn’t change the fact that the thread topic is strange.

 

[The-Real-Deal82]

I’d rather use it on my iPhone as long as possible. I just hope the haptic touch alternative has all the options of 3DTouch and isn’t the watered version we see on the XR. It needs to improve and it should be a smooth transition.

 

[The.Glorious.Son]

I’m just perplexed that anyone would be so phone obsessed that they would disable a usable feature so-as to “prepare” for it’s rumored obsolescence

 

[TheSkywalker77]

I'm going to miss it. I hope Apple makes Haptic Touch entirely as capable as 3D Touch so we won't lose too much.

 

[DeepIn2U]

I've always found 3D Touch useless and annoying. 90% of the time, it never even worked for me due to finger's micro-slippage and not registering as a result.

I've disabled it to kill the habit early. How about you? Have you disabled it?

Cast your vote on how you feel about its removal.

Sorry I find THIS as THE most useful UI touches in IOS.

So let me guess:

You dislike Peek&POP ... but you get a form of it in the new springboard on the iPhone X/XS/XS Max/XR and love that there don't ya?
- you STILL pop your finger in a SMS, Email, Website entry URL, Note, Document etc and they touch and HOLD to get the ridiculous Magnifying Glass to find out where EXACTLY to drop the cursor?! 3DTouch makes this USEFUL and CRITICAL for WatchOS ... without it yea the crown is far too basic and useless when correcting voice to text before sending.
- I also preview websites BEFORE opening them - you just never know what's behind

i know right? based off of a RUMOR

maybe for current devices the haptic touch would just drain battery more? Sorry I'm not found of a vibrator.

I use 3DT fairly consistently. That's one option that is missing on the poll. If Apple can replace the functionality with equivalent functionality (haptic touch), more power to them. However, I am so programmed to pressing on the screen for alternative actions.
[doublepost=1559005328][/doublepost]
I use my wifes XR and it drives me crazy that on that phone there is no 3DT. Whether it's called a budget phone, budget flagship or what, 3DT is useful enough, to me, I miss it when I can't use it.

Yeah haptic touch does NOT work for the keyboard for editing texts on Xr.

 

[bambooshots]

No, I’ll make the jump when the time comes.

Not a moment before.

This thread makes no sense. Why would you disable a feature to prepare for the rumored removal of said feature in a phone that isn't even releasing for 6 months? It's like saying you're going to put gum in the headphone jack of your 6S to prepare for it's imminent removal in the 7..

If you disabled it because it didn't work for you and you found it annoying, that's a totally normal and logical approach. The question posed in this thread makes you (the OP) sound insane.

 

[ajguckian]

Lordy, we do some dumb things in the name of rumors sometimes. Not sure why anyone would actively go about "downgrading" their phone, even if it's not something you use often, or at all. I'm pretty sure we'll get a better idea of what may happen hardware wise in regards to this with WWDC coming up and the new iOS beta's to follow.

 

[Jimmy James]

Long press will be largely similar. Why remove it?

 

[Cobold]

Yeah haptic touch does NOT work for the keyboard for editing texts on Xr.

Long press on space bar does the job on XR (and any device without 3DTouch like iPhone SE or iPads).

 

[The-Real-Deal82]

I’ve disabled the phone part of my iPhone in readiness for teleporting but left 3DTouch activated.

 

[jbachandouris]

I did not disable it although I rarely use it.

 

[petvas]

This thread is really very dramatic and has no real reason to exist. If you want to have a poll then add an option that says "I use 3D Touch and will not disable it on my current iPhone".
Why would someone disable an existing feature of his/her current phone, just based on a rumour which might also prove to be not true? I just don't get this kind of logic, but ok, it must be me

 

[benshive]

I use it all of the time. I like it way better than "haptic touch"

 

[squizzler]

3D Touch is irreplaceable when it comes to text editing.

 

[velocityg4]

Just kept accidentally activating it when trying to open an app. Found it annoying and disabled it.

Just tapping an App shouldn’t activate 3D Touch. Unless you have a Screen protector or screen issue that’s requiring you to hold the tap due to it not registering straight away, as it should.

I’m happy you were able to disable an annoying feature. I just wish Apple wouldn’t disable it for everyone.

 

[dontwalkhand]

I use it all the time, mostly to preview text messages. Does the XR still have this with Haptic touch? What about "right clicking on the app icons"?

You literally have to be pressing _hard_ enough to invoke 3D Touch to provide you options. So my best advice, [which is completely obvious], stop pressing so hard on the display. I think you’re making it kind of difficult based off your own interaction with the display.

 

[sniffies]

By popular demand, additional responses have been added to the poll in order to cater to 3D Touch lovers.

Apologies for overlooking it.

Peace.

 

[danny842003]

Words fail me.

 

[joeblow7777]

I can't do anything about it if Apple decides to remove it in future phones, but in the meantime, I use it from time to time, so why would I deprive myself of a feature that I use?

 

[44267547]

I’d say the majority aren’t voting in your poll (At least based off percentages). Probably because they don’t agree with your assertions about 3D Touch in your opening post. Oh, and not to mention iOS 13 supports 3D Touch.
