2 Haptic Touch

In lieu of the intuitive 3D Touch feature introduced on iPhone 6s, Apple equipped its iPhone XR devices exclusively with a feature dubbed “Haptic Touch.”

Essentially, instead of responding to different levels of touch pressure a la 3D Touch, ‘Haptic Touch’ simulates the 3D effect on iPhone XR with a simple long press. For example, by long-pressing an app icon, iPhone XR will provide feedback with a subtle vibration and pop-up menu similar to how 3D Touch works on other iPhone models 6s and newer.
