Two weeks ago the Snowman company, which develops the famous Alto's Adventure game, announced that it had implemented haptic feedback for iPhone 7 si iOS 10. More precisely, users who will play Alto's Adventure on iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus will feel various vibrations when doing certain actions in the game, the developers implementing support only for certain functions.
Alto's Adventure is one of the first games that offers haptic feedback for users based on the Taptic Engine, the Apple company offering access to it starting with iOS 10. Basically, now the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will start vibrating if the game you are playing has haptic feedback implemented, the game experience will be better.
According to Snowman, Alto's Adventure will generate Taptic Engine vibrations on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus when we collect llamas, when we slide over an ice boost, when we record a picture in Photo mode and in various other small interactions that we do them constantly in this game promoted even by Apple.

By implementing a new Taptic Engine in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, Apple offers developers the opportunity to implement haptic feedback for games. Until now, Taptic Engine was dedicated only to 3D Touch, and this has not changed in the iPhone 6S even if it has iOS 10 installed, so the new functions are only available for the new smartphones.
"Thanks to the expanded Taptic Engine, we've been able to pinpoint exciting moments in a run and tie them to more precise vibrational feedback. Now, you'll feel a nice jolt of satisfaction upon collecting a wayward llama or sliding over an ice boost. The golden burst of a super coin or powdery landing of a huge combo will hopefully be a little more thrilling."
