It took me forever to figure out that you can force push on a picture then swipe up to give me sharing options.. where as just pushing lightly and holding brings up a menu right away — or did before.. so it definitely felt like a solution looking for a problem and in fact added a degree of freedom to the UI that didn’t need to be there.. for example while it might sound clever to add the ability to say double click keys on your keyboard for separate functions it basically means you have to divide your motor memory up into multiple areas. Anyway, I suspect very few people would notice if 3D Touch died.. I hope it goes away soon.. so lame.. sure the technology might be cool but not helpful on my phone..
