The 2020 iPhone SE launch would have stunned everyone with its high-end specifications and mid-range price tag. However, recently users of Reddit and MacRumors found a feature that is missing entirely, but is not a bug; the Haptic Touch does not work with notifications. This means that the luxury to press and hold with vibration feedback for notifications on the lock screen to make them appear with a set of options, allowing users to interact with incoming content is no longer available for iPhone SE users.

This missing feature may not be a deal-breaker for iPhone users, but the consumers that frequently used Haptic Touch (a feature that’s available in other models) to reply to their texts, emails, and to control smart home devices will find it hard to adjust.
