David Hanak If you've used an iPhone in recent years, it probably had 3D Touch. If you don't know what it is, it's basically another way to control your phone by touching the screen. In addition to the normal position of the finger on the display, phones with 3D Touch also allow the force of the press to be registered, which usually triggers other control options. Apple introduced this feature for the first time with the iPhone 6S, and all other iPhones except the SE model had it. Now it seems that the life of this feature is coming to an end.

Lukáš Čambala First of all, it is necessary to draw attention to the fact that it is still only speculation and information of the type one lady was talking about. However, the sources are quite credible and the whole thing also makes some sense. The first iPhone to see the removal of 3D Touch should be this year's iPhone X successor, more specifically the planned 6,1″ variant. With it, Apple is said to have resorted to using a different technology of the protective layer of the panel, which causes both positive and negative changes.
The positive ones lie in the fact that, thanks to a special protective layer, the display or its protective part, as such much more resistant to both bending and shattering/cracking. The whole technology is called Cover Glass Sensor (CGS) and the difference compared to the classic design is that the touch layer is now located on the protective element of the display, not in the display as such. In addition to being more durable, this design is also better in that it helps save that extra gram. Unfortunately, the downside is that this solution is more expensive to use than what Apple has been using up until now. It was because of this that the decision was to be made that support for 3D Touch would not be implemented, as it would disproportionately increase production costs.
During the next year, the use of the CGS method should also be extended to other offered iPhones, and according to the aforementioned, this would be the complete end of this function. Although it seems strange that Apple would voluntarily abandon this control method, the whole scenario is quite realistic given that it is not a tool that is unified across the entire mobile platform. The iPhone SE does not have 3D Touch, just as none of the iPads do. How are you using 3D Touch? Do you use this feature regularly?

Oh no! I use the function for something every now and then, and I don't even notice it anymore.
Hurrah. This pushing on the display has been against my skin since the beginning.
buy an android, no one is forcing you to do it, especially if you don't see any benefit in it.
Hmm cool, I just bought the 8 plus :D
I admit that I haven't used it even once since the 6s on any model. I would like to, but I just don't have the experience at all. In any case, I think that Apple didn't give this function the stamp it should have, he basically killed it.
I use the 3D touch function relatively little, but where I do use it, I would miss it a lot.
I don't use the feature at all. I wouldn't miss her.
I use it almost every time I have contact with the phone. Every time I write a text, a new search on the web, a new note, mails, maps, reminders, etc., etc. I would really miss removing the function. It's a shame that the article doesn't mention any planned alternative method - if there wasn't one planned, Apple would just piss in the pants.
A more durable display is not needed. There were too many defenders. The user must treat the device according to his financial capabilities.
But reducing the convenience of control would be dementia.
Personally, I don't really believe this "one lady said". But who knows.
I don't have much experience with 3D Touch, but such a Control Center can be used almost identically even on devices that don't have it. Just hold your finger instead of pressing on the selected element and the exact same menu will appear. It could certainly possibly be used for desktop icons, etc. So I don't think its removal would be a tragedy.
