The vibration response when we touch a touch surface is called haptic response. A sensory response that gives us confirmation that the device has taken over the command given by us. The reason why we activate keyboard vibration on the iPhone is a better typing experience. It was shown that on a touch keyboard that does not react with sound or vibrations when we touch a key, we write a little slower than on one that responds with a short vibration to the touch.

The vibration response to the touch of a key was introduced on the iPhone starting with iOS 16. Company Apple but did not say anything in the presentation about this feature quite important for many users.
