Today, when Shichao was scanning Weibo, he unexpectedly discovered that the iPhone was on the hot search in 2021 because of a technology that has been officially eliminated by Apple-3D Touch.
When I saw this hot topic of “the original iPhone can be weighed”, I even thought I had traveled and returned to the summer when the iPhone 6S was released.
Sure enough, netizens on Weibo, in a gesture of discovering the new world, share their old iPhone on social media, and they can use 3D Touch to weigh things as a “magic discovery”.
This so-called weighing things is actually because some iPhones also support 3D Touch. Its main function is the screen can sense different pressure-sensitive touches.
Well, that might be a bit general, let’s talk about 3D ToCommon usage scenarios of uch, the first is to quickly start some APP functions.
Or while typing, use 3D Touch to help you move the character cursor.
What makes this feature the most out of the world is the iPhone’s live wallpaper setting. When you press the screen hard on the lock screen interface, 3D Touch will sense your actions and automatically play the lock screen animation.
When this feature was released on the iPhone 6S, netizens developed a series of interesting tricks, such as setting a couple lock screen interface for their mobile phones.
Weighing things this time is just a small extension of the 3D Touch pressure sensing function. The specific settings are also very good, and there is no need for friends to download additional apps.
Just open the [touch] of the phone settings, and then open this [3D touch].
Then turn the [3D Touch Sensitivity] to strong, you can complete all the settings on the phone.
Finally, my friends open the search engine and enter [TouchScale]. A small electronic scale will appear on the phone screen, and then everyone can happily weigh the object on the iPhone.
But here comes the question, is it reliable to weigh with this thing?
Let’s put it this way, if you use the iPhone’s electronic scale to buy fruit in the market, you will definitely be sold to the vegetable market by the fruit seller.
In order to verify the accuracy of this iPhone electronic scale, Shichao found a few common items on the desktop. You can feel the accuracy of this steelyard.
iPhone weighing 167g electronic scale weighing 23g
An experiment cannot fully prove the accuracy of this steelyard, so I plan to give iPhone another chance.
iPhone weighing 176g electronic scale weighing 56g
Well, it may be that these electronic products can conduct electricity, causing problems with the iPhone’s contact, so Shi Chao borrowed the advanced lipstick from a female colleague and planned to try it one last time.
iPhone weighing 161g electronic scale weighing 27g
As a result, everyone has seen that this thing does not have any accuracy at all.
Actually, Shi Chao was not surprised to be able to get this result. After all, the 3D Touch function is not designed for weighing things at all, but to sense how hard you press.
Therefore, 3D Touch has not undergone any proofreading of the strength value, and it is also easily affected by many factors, such as: screen size, whether it is filmed, its placement, and so on.
In addition, if you take some sharp objects to weigh the iPhone, it is easy to scratch the screen. In fact, as early as 2015, Apple had already rejected a request for this type of weighing application to be put on the App Store. Up.
The reasons they gave are also very reasonable and logical. The first reason is that the iPhone’s mobile phone screen is under pressure to go online, and they are afraid that everyone will crush the screen; the second reason is that they are afraid of some illegalities. Molecule, weigh the drugs with a cell phone.
So in theory, this is a feature officially banned by Apple.
In fact, even this 3D Touch function is already a technology abandoned by Apple. Careers can only use iPhone 6s, iFind it on Phone 7, iPhone 8, iPhone X and iPhone Xs.
However, Apple had high hopes for 3D Touch at the beginning, hoping to increase the dimension of user interaction with it. However, it turns out that in the iOS ecosystem, this thing is too weak for users to perceive it.
Even many “senior Apple users” saw the topic that iPhone can weigh on Weibo in 2021. They were surprised and put him on the hot search.
On today’s iPhone, Apple has also found a very close alternative to 3D Touch from the software level: Hapic touch.
In simple terms, this function is a feedback vibration effect after pressing the screen, and friends understand it as an operation similar to [long press].
Actually, from the Chinese translation of these two components, you should be able to see the obvious difference between them. 3D Touch is translated by Apple as [3D Touch]; and Hapic touch is [Touch Touch].
So Hapic touch is a two-dimensional touch interaction. When you put your finger on the icon for a while, you can simulate the function of 3D Touch without heavy pressure.
It’s just that there will be some delay in the use of Hapic touch.
However, Hapic touch at the software level has completed most of the functions of 3D Touch. This is definitely the last straw to crush the camel for a 3D Touch that has a very low sense of existence and is expensive to build.
On the new fruit brand after iPhone X, you can still use the long press to quickly start some functions of the App, relying on Hapic touch.
It’s just that my friends can no longer weigh with the iPhone equipped with Hapic Touch.
But who cares?
Anyway, the weighing result of 3D Touch is outrageous at grandma’s house.
