The One That Got Away: 3DTouch Scale

January 1, 2026

Happy New Year! For our first post of 2026, we're sharing a fun piece of plaincode history. Back in the iPhone 6s era, we developed an innovative app called 3DTouch Scale that turned your iPhone into a digital weight scale using the pressure-sensitive 3D Touch sensors.

The concept was brilliant (if we say so ourselves): measure fruits directly on the screen, or use a clever finger-balancing technique for non-capacitive objects. We even made a demo video! But alas, Apple had concerns about potential hardware damage from users placing heavy objects on their screens. The app never made it past review. 📱⚖️ 🚫

You can still check out what could have been—it's preserved here as a testament to creative (if slightly risky) hardware experimentation. Sometimes the best ideas are the ones that make reviewers nervous! 😄
