> I don’t understand this post, the force touch is still there at least in the pro version of the latest iPhone, don’t know about the other models.
Haptic Touch and 3D Touch are different things[0] and the feature was removed after the iPhone XS line. 3D touch could actually measure the amount of force you put into the screen, it wasn't simply a "long press" like Haptic Touch is.
> Also the feature to position your courser is still there, just press harder on the space key, Apple confined it to that key/area
Yeah, but it's neutered in 3 ways at least.
1. With 3D Touch you didn't have to confine it to the space bar.
2. With 3D Touch you could press harder after going into cursor mode, and it would start selecting text.
3. With 3D Touch you didn't have to wait for a long press to register to activate it.
