-[* black] What exactly is a Taptic Engine? The Taptic Engine is Apple's design of a linear actuator that produces [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haptic_technology|haptic feedback]. A linear actuator is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actuator|actuator] that creates motion in a straight line, in contrast to the circular motion of a conventional electric motor.
+ [* icon_note] The Taptic Engine is Apple's take on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_actuator|linear actuator|new_window=true]. It creates motion in a straight line (as opposed to the circular motion of an electric motor), which in turn provides [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haptic_technology|haptic feedback|new_window=true].
[* black] It makes sense that the Taptic Engine is attached to the speaker. When combined with subtle audio cues from the specially engineered speaker driver, the Taptic Engine is designed to output a unique motion.
