Should Apple Deprecate UILongPressGestureRecognizer?

• 24 September 2016

The answer is yes.

• For anywhere you currently require a long press, move to 3D touch.
• For anywhere you have different actions for both, make the long press action an option when 3D touching. (For example organising icons on the home screen.)
• Make an accessibility preference that makes a long press behave as a progressively more forcefull 3D touch.
