An enhanced right click, if you want to word it like that. I've never had the ability to see what a tab will look like using any right click on anything else I've known.
That's what I meant when I said it's only partially a right click.
Got a tip for us?

Is that really the case? Companies don't try to protect their parents and would therefore give them up?
On the contrary it actually takes less effort to swipe than to hard press.On my Apple Watch,II have to press really hard to get the feature to activate as opposed to a swipe which is much easier to do
This really is ironic considering you are an Apple fan as in OSX on iMac you navigate through the OS almost entirely through swipes and gestures
I don't know why you have to press hard. 3dt is easy, least and works well and very quickly with task switcher, settings battery, trackpad, and peek and pop and peek and pop in emails, which I can decide if I want to respond without leaving my current position.
Yes, very much so, and use a lot of clicks and taps (or keyboard shortcuts which are essentially the same) for all kinds of things that swipes won't do, like opening applications or selecting various menu options or other functions in applications and outside of them. It's one thing to navigate around, it's another thing to actually use some functionality and do something.
Yes, but I don't use a lot the 3D Touch, maybe when I used the phone for first time, but after a while I just don't. I am not saying is not a great feature, but if we compare the air view with the 3D Touch, idk it's more great the first one, it looks more fantastic and tech. it's look more simplest, I think that's the objective behind the different interfaces
Clearly. They also use the force to interact with menus and controls and all that.
i think it's useful for ringing people those who i ring are in my top 3 so it gets used a lot.
I have an idea!
Imagine if threads like these were automaticly locked so you people could something with your life instead of looking at the phone all day an discussing it? How about that?
The energy some people spend here is incredible, jamezr and radeon for example. Get a life people. Soner or later you'll find out smartphones cant love you back.

What are you calling Google out on?
1) Apple didn't invent the context menu, aka right click menu. Xerox invented it (
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context_menu )
2) Also as you state, the gesture isn't even the same. Apple uses a 3d touch to active the context menu and the demo in the link uses a swipe down gesture. The linked story also says Android OEMs are free to map what ever gesture they want to the "right click menu".
Not sure if it's already been mentioned but Apple were NOT the first to launch a 3D Touch smart phone, Huawei were:

But Apple had it in their watch first. I hardly ever use 3D Touch, forget it's there most of the time on my 6S.
