iPhones have a Taptic Engine that provides haptic feedback when the display registers your finger’s touch. It’s a way for your device to let you know you’re making contact with the touchscreen. The native iOS keyboard uses the same Taptic Engine to register feedback whenever you hit a key or swipe on the keyboard.
