In a word: no.<p>The horse this author decided to whip in support of his cause célèbre is 3D Touch. Perhaps you could argue mobile usability is getting worse but 3D Touch is hardly a good example to pick.<p>Comparing 3D Touch to adding a &#x27;right-mouse button&#x27; is at best a faulty comparison. 3D Touch does not replace already-learned interactions; it does not require the user to learn something new. It simply adds new ways of interacting for people that know its there or those that discover it by accident.<p>How can that be making usability worse?<p>The beauty of mobile devices is there are so many ways to interact with a touchscreen in an intuitive way, the complexities are easier to hide. Apple have added yet another way, but it is entirely optional.<p>Perhaps the author would care to explain how if usability on mobile is so bad, how does my 2 1&#x2F;2 year-old intuitively and effortlessly navigate children&#x27;s programs on an iPad without any instruction at all? She&#x27;d need to be at least double her age in order to do the same thing with a mouse and keyboard.
