Verge is giving the haptic buttons a big thumbs down:
"Another thing I tried: the new home button, which uses a "taptic engine" to give you physical feedback when you press it — it's pressure sensitive too, so it can tell if you really mean to press it or just tap it. And it's awful. On a MacBook trackpad, you get this uncanny feeling that you're actually hitting a button. On the iPhone, the whole bottom of the phone just sort of "kicks." It's not bad haptics like you remember, with weird vibration, it's just a new kind of bad haptics. It doesn't feel like a button at all. It's a bummer."

- urda 10y agoThe Verge is not a source to be taken seriously on any Apple matters. Remember, this is a news website who's Editor-In-Chief had a temper tantrum on twitter after being called out on his poor criticism [1].

- WatchDog 10y agoIf it was praise, I would take it with a grain of salt, but the verge has typically been very apple biased in their reporting. Generally I just try and steer clear of it these days. Hopefully anandtech put something out in a while.
