Is the click wheel "feel" experience only on iOS? I don't get any haptic feedback on Android

No vibration feedback on Android, something like navigator.vibrate(...) can be used for that [1]

I don't feel the click haptic feedback on iOS with iPhone 12

No, no haptic feedback for me either. It would be interesting to try, but honestly it might make it feel more gimmicky if not done perfectly.

Depends on the phone, high-end phones (iPhone obviously, but also Samsung S XYZ, et al.) have quite good "vibration" these days, since it is produced by more sophisticated mechanism [1] than just rotating motor.
