‘Revamped’ Taptic Engine
Just this week, a new report suggested that the 2019 iPhone lineup will feature an overhauled Taptic Engine internally codenamed “leap haptics.” But, other than its working name, there’s nothing else that’s known about the new Taptic Engine or what changes it might introduce.
We have a few guesses, however. Last year, Apple introduced Haptic Touch on the iPhone XR — essentially a new brand name for a long press. And there’s mounting evidence that Apple may be on the verge of killing off 3D Touch on its 2019 iPhones in favor of Haptic Touch. That includes analyst predictions, as well as changes in the iOS 13 betas.
