3D Touch can "kill" the standard menu in applications

Several years ago, mobile and desktop applications started to appear the icon with three horizontal stripes. They were usually hiding sub-menu, where developers were sent all that is possible. Icon resembled hamburger, from what and got its name.

But there is a suspicion that the devices Apple icon in the form of a hamburger is not long delayed. Presented at the September presentation 3D Touch Technology for iPhone 6s / 6s Plus It opens new horizons for user interaction with the mobile device and, as we have said before, easy to navigate, making it more operational.

In fact, 3D Touch is a right mouse button. Making a strong depression, the user receives a menu with hidden features. With just one touch you can access the selected function, and does not run the entire application at once. But it is only that part which is shown in the presentation. Developers no doubt that the use of the new technology it will be possible within the applications where 3D Touch will be the same right.

Tapping the screen, the user can call up the menu, where all settings and sections will be hidden. This means that the hamburger-button can be removed, why duplicate one function twice? In addition, developers today, and so are trying to remove the "three stripes" on the screen: this is usually done by a swipe across the screen from left to right.

Example Force Touch in smart watches Apple Watch has shown that from the additional buttons can be removed without compromising comfort of use of the gadget. On the iPhone 3D Touch technology is more advanced. So, over time, the user get used to the idea of ​​the existence of a "right-click" on a smartphone and will use it everywhere. A hamburger is a rudiment, can simply disappear.

It is obvious that it will take some time, because while 3D Touch have only two iPhone, and Android-devices among such "lucky" even less - only smartphone Huawei. But clearly - with "hamburger" can already quietly say goodbye.
