When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
If it works, that's cool.

You press deep on a UI element and it pops in front instead of being pushed to the back?

Apple, you're not even trying anymore, are you?

Android does not have the input like this. They have similar features in software but not from a display that registers force.

I don't understand from this video how force touch is different than long press.

I'm sure the 6S will be a great phone and all, but Tim Cook pretending that it's anything more than a faster iteration on his previous phone is a joke as usual. :jerkbag:

I bet even though 3D touch exists people will still use that on-screen accessibility button widget like the basics they are

I am still getting but I have mine connected to my sound bar though optical and I have no intention of buying a new one in the near future. It's my particular use case but it still bums me. Especially since flat screens generally have lovely sound
