tldr: My mom has no idea what force touch is. She'd not going to get 3d touch.
I love all of this, but it seems to me that there is really becoming a divide in the type of people who can fully appreciate/employ the UI nuances? I'm not a photographer, and basically only use photoshop to crop and do bullish things. But I know there's a whole universe of things I could do, if I appreciated the power set tools.
I think that's where many "smart" products are going, but because they are distributed to the masses (unlike PS for instance), that divide means something else.
For some people this is going to make their "daily lives" more enjoyable. For another set of folks, perhaps equal in size even, I think a lot of this stuff will just go over their heads.

- HiYaBarbie 11y ago> My mom has no idea what force touch is. She'd not going to get 3d touch. She'll get it if she uses it. It's not any more difficult than using the current touch gestures.
- untog 11y agoShe'll get it if she uses it. If she means to use it. Not difficult to imagine people triggering this by accident.
- salgernon 11y agoAnd like most discoverable UIs, the feedback (in the form of the haptic thingy) will clue you in and either reinforce your behavior if you like the feature, or allow you to remain with the previous behavior without destroying your state.
- thatswrong0 11y agoIs that necessarily a problem? Things still work as they always have in iOS, and now users have more interaction options without compromising the old simplicity.
- krazydad 11y agoMy mom also has no idea what right-click is. I showed it to her once and it blew her mind. Then she promptly forgot about it. I figure as long as you don't hide essential functionality in your app's 3d-touch interface, and primarily use it for short cuts, you are probably okay...
- kiddz 11y agoYes, it's not that it's not discoverable, it's that it's easy to forget and/or unnecessary to remember.
- arrrg 11y agoApple blankets the planet with their ads. That's how they teach people about features. How discoverable is Siri? It’s super obscure, nowhere to be found in the UI, you can only activate it via an obscure long-press.
