**The Power of 3D Touch**

One of the key features of Apple's iPhone 6s is its support for 3D touch, which allows users to interact with their device in new and innovative ways. This feature was initially met with excitement by developers, who saw it as an opportunity to create new and improved experiences for their apps.

**Multi-Touch Support**

But 3D touch is not just limited to multi-touch on the original iPhone. It also provides support for more than just touch inputs. For example, when you put your finger down on an icon, it will either turn on or off, depending on how hard you press. If you hold down on an icon, you'll see "Wiggly icons" that allow you to manage your icons.

**Quick Actions**

When you hard press on an app in 3D touch, developers can assign a variety of actions to it. These actions are called quick actions, and they allow you to perform tasks with just a tap or hold. For example, if you hard press on the Maps app, you'll get access to search nearby features that let you quickly find what you're looking for.

**Example: Camera App**

Another example of how 3D touch works is in the Camera app. If you want to take a selfie, you can hard press on the camera icon and select "take a selfie" immediately. This makes it easy to get into selfie mode without having to open up the entire app.

**Example: Clock App**

The Clock app is another example of how 3D touch works. If you hard press on the clock icon, you'll get access to create an alarm, set a stopwatch, or start a timer. This allows you to quickly and easily perform these tasks without having to navigate through multiple screens.

**Example: Settings App**

However, not all apps have quick actions assigned to them. For example, when you hard press on the Settings app, it will bring up a blur screen with a taptic feedback, but there's no action to be taken. It's like right-clicking on an item in a desktop - it provides another level of navigation, but doesn't offer any functionality.

**Peek and Pop**

One of the other uses for 3D touch is peek and pop. When you hard press on an email message, it will bring up a preview of the content. If you slide up on the preview, your original message will remain on the screen, allowing you to interact with it as before. But if you hit it again, the message will "pop" open, revealing its full content.

**Example: Messages**

Another example of how peek and pop works is in the Messages app. When you hard press on a message, it will bring up a preview of the conversation. You can then slide up on the preview to dismiss the message without taking any action. If you want to respond to the message or take some other action, you can pull it back up and interact with it as before.

**Example: Notes App**

The Notes app is another example of how peek and pop works. When you hard press on a note, it will open up a new sketch mode that allows you to create drawings. This feature is similar to the drawing capabilities found in Microsoft's Surface 2 device, but with a simpler level of touch sensitivity.

**Pica Pop**

Overall, 3D touch makes it easier and faster to interact with your iPhone 6s. It provides another level of navigation and interaction, allowing you to preview content before interacting with it. Whether it's peeking at an email message or popping open the Messages app, 3D touch is a feature that will make using your phone even more enjoyable.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, 3D touch is a powerful feature that allows users to interact with their iPhone 6s in new and innovative ways. From previewing content to opening apps quickly, it's clear that this feature has the potential to revolutionize the way we use our smartphones. Whether you're a developer looking to create new experiences or just an everyday user who wants to make the most of your phone, 3D touch is definitely worth checking out.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwell the primary new features of the new 6s line is the 6s Plus this is original 6s is support for more than just multi-touch on the original phone if you touch it's only either on and off you put something to select it or if you press and hold you get the Wiggly icons you can manage your icons what's new with 3d touch is on applications that support it this is something that developer handles when you hard press on an app on that icon for example you're smashed you can get what are called quick actions here's a variety of things directions home set my locations some medication search nearby so what this does is different if you just open maps you get the map but if you go here to say search nearby you automatically go into the search field so it's a little bit of a shortcut in entering an app that you can immediately go to what you're what you're working towards another example I think go back is camera so if you want to take a selfie instead of opening up the camera and turning the camera around what you do is just press on it hard and say take a selfie and you go in immediately into selfie mode other examples are clock so you hit the clock and you can create an alarm set a stopwatch or start the timer so it's a little bit faster than opening the clock and then thinking about what you want to do to get there in fact when you say stop the stopwatch actually had it running in the background but what it would do if you are starting stopwatch hears it resumes it so it's kind of an immediate definitely takes you to the stopwatch but it already starts as there are some apps that don't have any quick actions assigned to them for example settings when you hard press on that what you get is the screen kind of does the blur flash and you get a taptic feedback feeling that so you can tell something's happen but there's no action to be taken so it just kind of dismisses it other uses for 3d touch one example is peek and pop and here if we look at emails if you do a hard press that's brief it brings up a preview of email but if you slide up it keeps your email there so you have buttons to interact with you can reply or forward it or something otherwise when you look at it you just it immediately just misses it when you let go of it and that's peak and if you hit it again it's pop it you actually open up the email so it makes it kind of a quick way for you to jump in and out of content like messages another example is you have the the typical behaviors of being able to slide the message back and forth to do things like deleted or mark it as read if you have a new message and you want to look at it but you don't necessarily want to take action on it you want it to stay read you can dismiss it and it stays it retains the unread status if you want to just mark it as unread once you look at it you can pull it to the side and it will automatically mark it as read so that we status goes away so that's pica pop and it makes it a little bit faster way to to enter into something on a like a 3ds level of navigation through these messages another example for 3d touch is for example notes and we can say hey we want to jump right into a sketch so it opens up a new sketch and we can do light or more pressure sensitive drawing that is similar to what you have on like the Microsoft Surface 2 where the harder you press the more of a line you get so this might may open the field to people that want to do things with the stylus you can also do it directly with touch you don't need a stylus it's not necessary this is not going the same level of sophistication of the the new iPad or iPad pro with the pencil stylus that lets you do much more sophisticated sensing of where the where the pen tip is enough angle of it and press this is on a more basic level but it does kind of show what what developers can do with on a simpler level of touch sensitivity that will be kind of an with what the Microsoft Surface does right now that 3d touch will be putting it through its paces a bit more significantly but kind of initial impressions are it makes things faster gives you a home another level of start interacting with icons when you're launching things and when you're looking at messages it allows you to preview what's going on not only in the message but you can also look at a message with a PDF or something in it and and look at it it's does it quickly basically so in some case that's kind of similar to right-clicking on items in a desktop where you get another level of navigation and so it speeds up looking at things and launching things with a conditional so you're jumping right into the middle of an appwell the primary new features of the new 6s line is the 6s Plus this is original 6s
