The end of 3D Touch was first predicted in the middle of last year. In recent months, rumors about the elimination of 3D Touch have increased and the iOS 13 beta has already made its contribution to this topic.
A new report from Digitimes now looks at the new iPhone lineup. It is emphasized again that 3D Touch will no longer be included. The iPhone 11 models are to receive a software-based replacement. Apple has begun laying the groundwork for this transition with the changes to the user interface in iOS 13. As part of these changes, Apple is even planning to hire a second supplier for OLED screens - according to Digitimes. The Chinese manufacturer BOE Display could be a possible candidate.
More complex and expensive
Last year, Barclays analyst Blayne Curtis gave several reasons why 3D Touch would be dropped. Firstly, the function is of little use and is far too complex to manufacture in comparison, according to Curtis. The sensors required for this make the production of the displays much more difficult, which is why manufacturing is also more expensive. If 3D Touch were more popular among users, Apple would probably continue to use the feature, according to the analyst at the time. However, it is doubtful whether this will affect the pricing of future iPhone models. Even if Apple really does drop 3D Touch, we will almost certainly get a great replacement.
