Haptics on an iPhone refer to the vibration feedback that users feel when they perform certain actions on their device. Haptic feedback is the tap or quick vibration you feel when interacting with different elements of your iPhone. It is a type of technology that gives you a tactile response when you do something. Haptic feedback can be used to simulate the feeling of using real objects like buttons and dials on non-responsive surfaces like touchscreens.

Haptic feedback is available on supported iPhone models and can be turned on or off in the Sounds & Haptics section of the Settings app. Users can also adjust the intensity of the haptic feedback by going to Accessibility > VoiceOver > Audio > Sounds & Haptics > Haptics.

Apples Haptic Touch technology is similar to 3D Touch but it doesnt rely on pressure. Instead, Haptic Touch kicks in when a user long-presses the screen, offering a small vibration as acknowledgement following the press. With Haptic Touch, users can access shortcut menus for certain apps and perform actions faster. Most of Apples native apps work with Haptic Touch, and there are now plenty of third-party apps that support it as well.
