Vratislav Holub iPhones are considered to be some of the best phones on the market thanks to their design, performance and great features. But Apple phones are also made up of a number of little things that make an iPhone an iPhone. Here we could include, for example, a simple operating system, an iconic ringtone or perhaps Face ID. Haptics, or vibrations in general, are also a strong point. Although this is an absolutely minor thing, it is good to know that the phone communicates with us in this way and reacts to our inputs.

Adam Kos For these purposes, Apple even uses a special component called Haptic Touch, which we could describe as a vibrating motor. Specifically, it consists of a special magnet and other components responsible for producing the vibrations themselves. For the first time ever, Apple used it on the iPhone 6S, however, it saw a major improvement only on the iPhone 7, which significantly pushed the haptic response to a whole new level. With this, he was able to surprise not only Apple users, but also many users of competing phones.
Vibrations that excite even the competition
Na discussion forums it is also confirmed by a number of users who switched to the iPhone years later, that they were almost immediately captivated by the significantly improved vibrations, or rather the overall haptic response. Apple is miles ahead of its competition in this regard and is clearly aware of its dominant position. But one thing is more interesting. While Apple phones rejoice in the great functionality of their Taptic Engine, competing phones with the Android operating system completely ignore such things and prefer to go their own way. They make it clear to the world that slightly better vibrations are simply not a priority.
iPhone 7 Plus
In practice, it is quite understandable and makes sense. Of course, none of us buys a phone based on how well it vibrates. However, as we mentioned above, it's the little things that make up the whole, and in this regard, the iPhone has a clear advantage.
The dark side of haptic feedback
Of course, all that glitters is not gold. This is exactly how the whole situation with the Taptic Engine vibration motor could be summed up. Although it is indeed responsible for pleasant vibrations and thus a great haptic response, it is necessary to realize that it is a specific component occupying space in the bowels of iPhones. And when we look at it from a different angle, we realize that just such a place could be used in other ways.

And what exactly are the vibrations on iPhones better?
I had phones with Windows, Android and now I have an iPhone 12 and somehow I didn't notice that the vibrations would be extra better 😁
After all, it is written in the article. The ones from Apple are "pleasant" 🤣
With Xiaomi, I also have a haptic response in addition to vibrations. I don't understand the article.
And may I know where the haptics are? I have an iPhone since version 3 and my wife has a Samsung. Samsung's haptics are much better.. there at least I can feel that I touched something and wrote, for example, a letter
That's bullshit 😂
It can be seen that the discussants probably do not know what haptics is. It's not just vibrations, but different strong touches on the display can trigger other functions, etc.
This article nailed it perfectly. No Android phone has such a high-quality vibration engine as the iPhone. Those vibrations can normally be felt on the iPhone, as if they were moving in the phone (e.g. when someone calls and the vibrations are synchronized with the ringing sound) ... on Android, I experienced the worst vibrations probably from Sony, Xiaomi ... Samsung had them at a better level, but still it didn't come close to what the iPhone has.
