It was interesting to read a report by Ming-Chi Kuo stating that 3D touch was a reason why the in-display TouchID sensor for the new iPhone X never made it to production. Here's a section from the article on 9to5mac.com:
"While this year, Face ID is limited to the iPhone X, Kuo believes it will come to all 2018 models due largely to the fact that in-display fingerprint technology is still technologically challenging for Apple. This is because the 3D Touch module makes the entire display panel thicker and thus reduces the accuracy and scan-through of a under-display fingerprint reader." https://9to5mac.com/2017/09/19/kgi-touch-id-face-id-2018-iphones/
I've never been a huge fan of 3D touch and think of it as a gimmick, and would happily trade 3D touch for TouchID embedded in the display. I'd like to hear your thoughts on the matter, and hopefully get some Apple staff will read some of the feedback to inform some of their design choices for the 2018 iPhones. Would you give up 3D Touch for TouchID in the display?
