3D Touch

January 27, 2023

3D Touch is a technology that Apple first introduced in the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus in 2015. It allows the phone to sense different levels of pressure on the screen and respond accordingly.

The technology uses a small array of sensors embedded in the screen to detect the amount of pressure applied to the screen by a user’s finger. Based on this pressure, the phone can perform different actions, such as opening a new menu or providing additional information.

One of the main features of 3D Touch is the ability to access quick actions from the home screen by applying different levels of pressure on an app icon. For example, pressing down lightly on the Camera app icon will bring up options to take a photo or record a video without needing to open the app.

3D Touch also enables the “Peek and Pop” feature that allows users to preview content by lightly pressing on it and then “pop” into the content by applying a little more pressure.

In summary, 3D Touch is a technology that allows the phone to sense different levels of pressure on the screen and respond accordingly by performing different actions, such as opening up a new menu or providing additional information.
