How it works: A compact actuator generates controlled vibrations that can be shaped in duration, intensity,
Origins and deployment: The Taptic Engine gained prominence with Apple Watch, where haptic feedback is used
Impact and use: Taptic feedback is a central element of Apple’s user experience, helping users perceive input
