3D Touch has become useless

Question

3D Touch has become useless

Upgraded to iOS 13 on my iPhone XS Max and found out that the 3D Touch feature has been replaced with haptic touch. I spend more than $2000 to buy this phone to work as advertised by Apple with all the features. I am really disappointed that I paid for this Feature to work as well when I bought my iPhone. All of a sudden this feature goes missing because Apple decided so. Am really disappointed and want this feature back as I paid for the hardware which is capable of making full use of this. The haptic touch is just not capable of the feeling that using 3D Touch gives. I hope to hear from Apple on this soon.

To add to deggie's response, if the update did actually disable it, there is a software option to reenable it. Go to Settings -> General -> Accessability -> Touch -> 3D & Haptic Touch. There is then a setting to enable or disable 3D Touch. Make sure it's enabled. Disabling it disables 3D Touch but does leave haptic touch enabled.

Also: You won't hear from Apple here. Apple is not on these forums - simply other users like you who wish to help out if we can.

Yes am on 13.1.1 and definitely it’s missing. It has been replaced by Haptic touch and the Peep and Pop feature found on 3D Touch is defined missing. Unfortunately we don’t have any Apple store here in New Zealand and all such cases will be referred to Australia. It’s Apple who has misled its customers once again.

If iOS 13 (and you are on 13.1.1, right?) removed 3D Touch from your iPhone XS Max then there is a hardware failure on your phone, take it in to get it looked at. It works on my XS Max.

Thanks . I checked and the 3D setting is on. It does make a difference a bit. Am sure no where near to what it was on iOS 12. Haptic touch is slower thank 3D Touch
