Older iPhones had a screen that could interpret the pressure of your touch, giving the ui the ability to do multiple things based on how hard you press.

The best feature was pressing hard into the keyboard to get a cursor and then pressing lightly again to highlight text, all with just one thumb. It was super good. There’s an alternative to that now, but it pales in comparison.

Yes! That feature alone kept me from upgrading my iPhone X until the 12 Pro came out. The alternative is severely limited, and annoying to use

3 years, actually. It may not seem like much, but many people upgrade every year. Especially those of us who are into tech
