Yes, I know. However, every other device to get iOS 11 (except 7s/7s+/8) has a physical home button.The iPhone 7 has (so) *NO physical home button that could wear out
*PK

Has the 3D Touch App switcher returned? UPDATE: Intentionally removed

On the flip side, only the 6s/6s+ have both 3D Touch and a physical home button.
I have a feeling Apple knows very well how much people use certain UI behaviours from their analytics data (from those who send).
I for instance never use this particular feature/function. It isn't very obvious or quick or reliable compared to double-pressing the home button for me.
I'd probably get more use out of it if it worked on the right side, since that's where my thumb is normally resting. I have no digit normally resting anywhere near the left side. On a Plus-sized phone especially the left side is almost impossible to reach if you're right handed (like me) and hold and use the phone with your right hand.
Chalk this one up as one that benefits the lefties for a change. Perhaps that's why it's been (if it has) under-utilised.

I think the reason why people don't use this feature because they don't know it is exists.
Goes to show how different use cases are. I never ever use my phone in landscape unless i am watching a video. The keyboard alone would drive me bonkers
Same here. I use my iPad Air 2 in landscape most often, but my iPhone 7 is 95% a portrait device (exceptions: video, camera, landscape games, occasional websites in Safari).
