Floppy
I didn't read the article, but as far as I can tell, it seems to work just fine.
I don't find it makes my iPhone easier, or more better to use, but it does cut down on a few moves.
I'll read the article now.
I like it actually, but I don't think it is all that.
Learned a couple things reading the article.
Again, I really like it. It is just a different way to use my phone.
The problem with this guide is that it was written by an ass hat.
As for the usefulness of 3D touch, it's not something I use all the time, but comes in handy with the phone app and also the peak and pop functionality in email. However, since I mainly use a braille display, and there is no command on a braille display keyboard to invoke this feature, it gets a lot less use than it would otherwise.
Samsung's S7 is going to have a version of this as well I read.
Hmmm, this looks interesting. Thank you for posting this.
I'll be interested to see what Samsung can do with this. If they could get their braille support together on Android, I'd consider giving it a serious look. I really do need to go back and do some modifications to the 3D touch guide, though nothing in it is inaccurate other than that Apple says there is no force touch on iOS and they call context menus quick action menus instead. I'm glad some of you have found it helpful.
what I want to know is, has anybody who has jailbroken iOS 9.02 tried the tweeks out there to make older phones support this feature? if so, what has been your experience and which tweek does the job best?
Older phone will not, or should not support this specific feature.
The reason for that, is the 6S has some components inside of it that makes the feel and screen react in a specific way.
It would seem to me withoug the components older phones would not do it at all.
If that were so, the 6 and all phone that support I,,OS 9 would have the feature, but that isn't the case. It is specific to the 6S only.
that's one of the reasons why people jailbreak. there are apps and tweeks out there in the jailbreak community that do support 3d-like features for older phones from the 4S on up.
This is sort of different.
It isn't like a vibration.
It also opens up specific type windows.
Some of these windows are decided on how you use the phone.
For example, if you use it on the phone app, it opens the favorites list of the people you call most.
Music will show you music you might like, or radio and a search box.
The feel is a click, and it feels different from any type vibration.
The phone also incorporates this feel in to ringers and vibrations.
It needs a physical motor, not anything that is programmed.
You can set the level at how much pressure is required to use it.
If this was possible with a jail break, Apple wouldn't have needed a redesign of the inside of the phone, they'd just have programmed it, and made it work on all units.
It is much like the finger print center. That is a physical option, not a programmed one totally.
I've noticed the Jail break is slow this time even though Apple has opened this up for beta testing.
Go in to the Verizon or Apple store and have them show it to you. That will give you a better understanding.
I read all about it, but until I actually used it, I didn't really understand it well come to find out.
I night just do that.
yes wayne, that's why I called it 3D-like.
It won't be same. Trust me.
Okay, sit down lol, the 3D touch does make using a IPhone from a android perspective easier. I can now say buck double tapping on a IPhone and just press on the screen to open a app. Its small taytors to most but to me its about time. Simple things like open apps with a press, previewing emails having me really liking the IPhone s6. Heck I even bought a IWatch to go with my IPhone.
Yes, there is a jailbreak tweak that will give you 3d touch features on older devices. I could look it up if you're really that interested. It won't work the same as on the 6S and 6S Plus though.
