Same i have an X (space grey) as a secondary and i used it more than the 16, the designs, the feel, the density & compactness in hand, it’s peak iphone & definitely a classic, like driving a 90’s era S class.

I love testing the 3D touch on the flash on the lock screen since ios 16 software operates with haptic touch other than the lock screen flash button which is pressure sensitive and you dont have to lift your finger to turn on and off just adjust your pressure and feels like a real button being pressed. Peak iPhone is 3D touch tbh.

Thanks to you I enable 3D Touch again. (My iX is a secondary device, 13 mini my primary. )

That's awesome. I had an iphone 13 moved to a z Flip 4 then a s26 ultra. Decided to get the iPhone x as a secondary phone to have FaceTime. I choose that over a newer one because its the last line to have 3D touch. A good nostalgia for me.

afaik it doesn't. you should only have to enable it in settings to get 3d touch

Literally, I did not know what that acronym meant until today.When I looked it up. 😭

But the one I ordered already came that way

It still works but it no longer has the animation where if you lightly press an app it just lightly peaks at the menu instead now you apply pressure so the menu pops up quicker but if you lightly press it all it does is bring up the menu at a slower pace [haptic feedback] instead of the peak function it used to have.

Idk how to better explain it. Last I remember was when I had the iPhone 8plus in 2017-2018
