I wonder what the ramifications of Force Touch (err, 3D Touch) are for users with certain physical handicaps who may not be able to execute that particular gesture.
Apple has generally done a pretty good job for accessibility, so I'd be disappointed if they dropped the ball on this.
- gilgoomesh 11y agoUsing 3D Touch is wholly optional. 3D Touch merely offers peeks into views you can reach by using a regular tap.
- vidyesh 11y agoForce Touch looks more like a over-complicated long tap which anyone using a smartphone can execute.
- Someone 11y agoI haven't used it, so I don't know how well it performs, but there should be two things different with force touch. Firstly, it gives you double the number of click options. You had short vs long, now you can have either lightly or with more force. Secondly, long clicks slows down interactions. Force click should be just as fast as a normal click. That may make it way more popular.

- graeham 11y agoDepends on the user - for some it might be an advantage to reduce input errors from tremors or limited dexterity? Force-based gestures might be easier for some people than multi-touch gestures. More freedom is usually a good thing for adapting to unique users.
