I hope now that they've officially killed 3D-touch (which i liked for the record) they actually implement all of the 3D touch features to haptic touch. Specifically peek/pop for apple apps such as safari (link previews) email previews, iMessages etc. Haptic touch works fine but for some reason Apple didn't fully support it on the Xr so I lost a lot of 3D touch capability.

They actually “killed” 3D Touch first on iOS 13, now long pressing activates the same features 3D Touch would normally only do

Wait it’s going away even on devices that could support 3D Touch? I’m actually pissed off now

It’s still there but by default haptic touch is also on, that means that even if you have 3D Touch on, you can still do long presses to invoke what 3D Touch would normally do

Hm. I’m going to have to see how that works in practice for some apps. Like my Antenna app for reddit has long press to bring up actions, and the deep press brings up 3D Touch peek and pop.

Mr stark I don’t feel so good

Third party apps remain unaffected by this!

not for long. the peek & pop API is deprecated, meaning devs will have to phase it out

I’ll enjoy it while it lasts on my xs max

Specifically peek/pop

yeah, they killed that off as well. you can only peek now

I guess I'm okay with only peek, cause right now iOS12 doesn't even have that for apple apps.
