Have suspected for years that this feature could be done in software.  As you press harder the impression becomes bigger, so a enlarging touch circle would yield similar results.

Not trying to be negative on this, really asking.  Why would anyone want this card?  The rate is pretty high, the integrations are interesting but don't really add that much value IMO, and I can use Apple Pay with my existing card.  What is the draw?

Tim Cook still has no idea to effectively compete Amazon with the much delayed HomePod and not very competitive HomeKit. But he prefers to spend a lot of attention on political issues. 

Nice trolling, welcome to the ignore list.

Well whatever they’re doing with Haptic Touch isn’t nearly as good. I hope there’s an actual reason for dropping it besides penny pinching.

Guessing the juice is not worth the squeeze.  Analytics probably indicate low usage, and when taken with the cost  (in terms of $$, thickness and maybe adding something else to the display), was probably more expensive than it was worth overall.

My biggest query is when the phone is sitting on the desk, right now I just press with my finger and get a quick sense if any messages have arrived.  With face ID I will either have to lean over or lift the phone, not optional.  And, realize this is the true definition of a 1st world issue.

It's going to be hard to isolate whether the people were unsuspecting or not.

Interesting, I don't see Apple scared very much.  Suspicious that he did this just prior to the Oculus announcement.
