    What I find funny is that the screen on my Blackberry Storm that I had like 10 years ago clicked like an actual button when you pressed it. They were the only company using that technology back then.
    Fast forward to 2018/19 and Samsung implements it into the Galaxy line of phones to get the tactile feedback of an actual button press when you press the home button. It was pretty slick how they figured out how to use it on just that part of the screen instead of the entire screen being a button like Blackberry did.

    Even though nobody will see this, Apple trackpads use force sensors around the trackpad to sense the force of your finger and differentiate between a regular click and a “force click” and use the haptic motor to deliver the click feel without the need for a physical mechanism. It does not use the iPhone version of 3D Touch, which measures the distance between the upper glass and base.

    2: I understand how the tech between 3D Touch and Sensel is different-but how is the experience different? What can you do with this that you couldn't do with 3D Touch? Or is it just an alternative (better?) route to basically the same UX? Or is that not a valid comparison, since 3D Touch was never a non-phone tech?
