iPhone 7 with its 3D Touch had the best cursor scroll tbh. You hard press your thumb anywhere on the keyboard and use it like a mousepad to scroll around. I’m still mad that we don’t have that anymore.

Ah yeah, for text handling and some item selection stories 3D Touch was the best. For the rest it never really caught on as it was like a right-click, with nothing self-evident and overlapping with the 'hold' interaction. I guess they just took it out because of the added cost to the panel, but I don't really miss it now.
Yup, kinda mad as well :/ It adds so much to usability once you've gotten used to it (doesn't take long imho)...

One of the key reasons i still hold on to my 8 Plus... but i suppose iOS 16 will probably the last release they'll support on it so i better get used to the thought my next phone won't have it :(
