What features has Apple removed shortly after introducing them? Historically Apple has stuck with its changes, even when they are accompanied by negative feedback.

3D touch has gone. It's not on some of the newer models. Didn't last very long at all.

It's not on one new model (the iPhone XR). The iPhone XS and XS Max still have it. However, they were already selling a phone without it - the iPhone SE; the iPhone XR is designed to be the new "cheap" option. No net change in the number of new iPhone options without it.

They introduced it with iPhone 6S, so even if it's not on a single model next year (which is doubtful), it would have been a 4+ year feature

The only newer model is the low end iPhone XR, and I’m fairly certain that was purely from a cost/margin perspective.

Plus it essentially replaced the previous low cost option, the SE, which also didn't have the feature.
