Fine Maywe were talking about an analyst reportfrom Barclays, claiming that 3D Touch would be replaced by Haptic Touch on all future iPhones. Haptic Touch is just a long press, followed by haptic feedback.
It seems thatchanges to iOS 13, confirm this hypothesis of thedisappearance of 3D Touch. Indeed, Haptic Touch is available in several new places in the interface and workseven on iPad.
Apple has confirmed thatquick actions on app iconsand thequick overviewslinks, emails and other messages, are available in iOS 13 on iPhone et iPad.
We were able to verify this on different apps and links in iOS 13, both on iPhone and iPad. However on iPad, there is no haptic feedback, because the tablet does not have this component.
These changes suggest that Applecould abandon 3D Touch in the next iPhones, while allowing equipped devices to continue using it.
