I’ve only ever used 3D Touch accidentally and been annoyed by it. I still make accidental long touches in all sorts of apps and they do weird things.
I do use the keyboard cursor thing but to be honest text entry on a touchscreen has never really been good for me. I don’t think I’ve ever typed a sentence correctly in 15 years of iPhones. Even with autocorrect I’m often having to go back. Selection, cut, paste are all terrible. Tap somewhere and hope it offers to select a word but sometimes it doesn’t. Try to copy some text on a web page oops it’s a link. Tap elsewhere and try to paste but sometimes it doesn’t. Try to extend a selection and get weird multiline behaviour I can’t explain. Maybe I have the world’s biggest thumbs but it’s constant aggro that you just end up internalising.
