Adoption rate does not matter when discussing 3D Touch because it requires hardware and is only available on the latest models. But I still think devs get on board quickly because Apple sells a lot of phones, and it's a cool feature (and a bummer when not implemented).
- JohnBooty 11y agoIf iOS9 adoption is fast, developers can start building iOS 9 apps that include 3D Touch features. The 3D Touch support will obviously only work on the 6S series for now, and there may be different code paths involved but it's easily do-able. If a majority of users stuck with iOS8 for some reason, developers would need to target that, iOS8 apps couldn't support Touch 3D features even optionally since none of the relevant APIs would be available.
- JimDabell 11y agoYou don't need to drop iOS 8 support to include 3D Touch support in your applications.
- LeoNatan25 11y agoOS adoption rate helps with the incentive to support new API, regardless of the hardware. You support it, and the hardware will catch up. Since we are already at 50% at least, implementing support is an easy decision. What more, the API here is very easy to implement, so even more incentive to implement.
