Did you know that the iPhone screen can weigh things?

Tech Beast Official 2 months ago155 reviews

Starting with the iPhone 6s, Apple officially added 3D Touch hardware support for the iPhone. It gives Apple's screen the ability to sense pressure. Although it is a great feature, after so many years, 3D Touch has not yet become mainstream.

Perhaps due to factors such as cost and screen thickness, Apple removed the 3D Touch on the iPhone XR until the iPhone 11 series released last year completely abandoned 3D Touch. The re-press screen operation introduced by it is also replaced by the long-press of Haptic Touch.

Although 3D Touch is a thing of the past, there are still many users who are still using this feature. It is generally used to call out the icon menu on the main interface and play games. In addition to these normal operations, did you know it has an alternative usage?

"Weigh objects with 3D Touch!"

"Touchscale" is a page that supports 3D Touch weighing the object. After opening, place the item on the iPhone screen that supports 3D Touch, and the weight of item will be displayed in real time.

Because it depends on the screen itself, there are restrictions on what can be weight. Which is things can be touched in real life. Such as apples, oranges, potatoes, etc.

If it is not possible to weigh, you can also put a spoon as a conductor before placing the object to be measured.

The maximum weight is 407.31g

You can visit the page "touchscale.co" to experience this function.

To be real, the function of weighing with 3D Touch appeared as early as the release of the iPhone 6s. At that time, the relevant applications were also listed on the App Store.

However, maybe the weight of the iPhone will damage the screen. Apple has gradually removed such applications.

Although the weighing range is very small and there are restrictions on the items, it is also one of the useful functions of 3D Touch.

Maybe it can really help you with it in the future?
