Speaking of 3D Touch, it is a feature that was discontinued after the iPhone 11, which allows the iPhone to detect the amount of pressure applied to the screen and display a preview screen or a menu according to the function. An unexpected way to use this feature has just been shared and is becoming a hot topic.
3D Touch turns your device into an electronic weighing scale?
One user randomly posted an image with the caption, “It’s such a pain that 3D Touch is gone from the iPhone. I used to weigh apples all the time,” and it seems to have elicited an unexpected response.

The fact that 3D Touch can turn into an electronic scale is a surprisingly little-known feature, and by using a web app called “TouchScale,” you can quickly turn your iPhone into an electronic scale.
The app was created by Asher Trochman, who is currently doing his PhD in computer science at Carnegie Mellon University in the United States.
The measurements seem to be quite accurate, and a user who tried it on an original iPhone posted an image as proof, saying, “It’s incredibly accurate!”

Many people want 3D Touch to return
There are still many fans of 3D Touch, including popular YouTuber Marques Brownlee, who still want the feature to return.
3D Touch has been replaced by Haptic Touch, which continues to be featured in the latest iPhones.
Haptic Touch is still evolving, and last year a faster feature was added, which some say makes it feel closer to 3D Touch.
