a context menu could be implemented 100% without a fancy touchscreen. They already have context menus on press and hold, just let users have the 3d touch menu for that if they want.

i mean isn't that how it worked for 1 button macs decades ago.

the 3D touch thing can do at least two different levels of pressing in, couldn't do that with just one button. maybe they should add a ctrl button on the back?

anyways you and thurrot are wrong :(

it's going to be used in drawing programs and that's it.

some apps are going to trial using varying amounts of pressure for different actions, realize that it's a horrible idea and scrap it.

cool so a phone full of apps u touch and hold on and the only otpion in the menu is move, making what is now a one touch operstiob into a much more annoying effort never mind that move in the context menu wouldn't make sense with how u actually make all the apps moveable at once cureently

if there's onebthing Apple is known for, especially with the iphone, it's completely changing a core part of the way the ui interaction works to half rear end something that really needs new hardware to accomplish properlky m

pressing and holding is not the same as force pressing. i tried that a bunch on the model at the store and it's definitely based on force, not length of press.

besides the 96 sensors that make that possible, the taptic feedback is also pretty much required. regular phone vibrators are too slow to give the illusion of a "click" when you press the screen.

although the implementation of taptic is much better in the Macbook than in the  Watch and iPhone 6S. it seems just everso delayed in the watch and phone and there's a better illusion of a click in the macbook.

do they? i don't look forward to a return to the touchscreens of fifteen years ago when you had to push down really hard for it to register your input half the time

on top of that, companies have tried pressure-sensitive input on something every couple years for over a decade. the reason it fails isn't because the technology wasn't there yet, it's because it's a usability nightmare, no one takes advantage of the capability because of that, and the company quietly drops it from their feature checklists in embarrassment after a while

you don't have to press very hard at all for 3d touch. and regular touches and long touches register just as easily as ever

you don't need it, u could do exactly what u said. but it would be a really bad idea to do that when press and hold has a well established function already, so adding a new way of proessing with new hardwarebis a good way to add it without destroying exisitng design paradigms. im sorry consistency in ui is such a difficult concept for u have u maybe tried using windows 10 instead

There are a variety of places in the existing pre ios9 ui where press and hold had a context menu. in fact, the home screen doing its doobly do wiggly icon move thing is unique to the home screen.

that doesn't sound very consistent


edit: for some reason they've abandoned the swipe left / right motion on the new news app and have replaced it with a press and hold context menu. that doesn't sound like its holding to existing design paradigms at all

how r u missing this very simple point so easily. hold on the home screen has always done the same thing. thats why its consistent. hold also has other uses elsewhere which is true, but u were talking about changing it specifically on the homescreen from making icons movable to a context menu. thats inconsistent.

also nebver mind that it can do multiple levels of touch, so now u have ur hold and touch, as well as at least 2 more actions from a similar movememnt, without sacrificing anything. ur old phone doesnt get the nwe functions, but its not lost any. u have not been inconvienienced in anyway, ur phone still functions as it did. im sorry ur getting v confused about simple conceptps. im sorr u feel entitiled to have evyerhting for free. mayhaps we can get apple to put the new cameras in ur old phone for u so you dont have ot cry about a newer phone than urs being newer.
