3D Touch's Legacy Questioned as an Odd Apple Experiment

Apple's 3D Touch, the pressure-sensitive feature introduced on the iPhone 6s in 2015, is being described as a strange and unintuitive idea in retrospect. Critics note the feature was hard to discover and never clearly explained, and Apple quietly phased it out after the iPhone 11 in favor of Haptic Touch, vindicating long-standing skepticism about the design choice.
Why now: People are revisiting the feature years after Apple removed it and now widely agree it was a misstep.
