2019 is an important year for Apple. It has to keep up with what Samsung and others are doing, and in this context it is no longer focusing on eccentric functions. From a series of information extracted from iOS 13, future iPhone will not only come with extra features but also minus.
The 3D Touch feature will no longer be featured in the top US manufacturer's phones. Instead, that powerful push gesture to access a context menu will be replaced by prolonged touch. This is already the case on iPhone Xr, so Apple knows what to do.
Among the functions that can be accessed in this way are Quick Actions, Peek and Pop - to quickly preview and open images or mails and more.
Why does Apple give up the function that no one has?
Long presses for accessing contextual menus have been present for some time on Android. Fix it in the shape it is on iPhone Xr. Apple is just adapting to the wishes of users who have not become accustomed to the idea of a stronger push on the screen
The sad part is that those who use 3D Touch terminals and take advantage of that feature may need to adapt to the new mechanism. However, it may not be too much damage. However, Apple is losing its advantage in innovation.
