Serious question: I know that Apple went all out inventing lots of new proprietary events for force touch...but are these actually needed, compared to just what pointer events offer with pressure? I guess they abstract scenarios to a slightly higher level (i.e. being able to detect that a force touch is starting, rather than listening to pointerdown and monitoring changes in pressure), but are they worth the extra event? Am I missing other things that currently *can't* be adequately explained with just PE? P -- Patrick H.
