<\/a>iPhone 6s Plus hand-on front<\/p><\/div>\n
The peek<\/em>, pop<\/em>, and shortcut interactions Apple introduced with the new feature worked well on the demo model we tried, and its usefulness was immediately apparent.<\/p>\n Rather than opening up the Calendar or Maps apps by tapping on scheduling or location-related information, for instance, you can instead opt to push-and-hold lightly on the screen to bring up a preview, or peek menu.<\/p>\n From the preview you can perform a number of actions, including sharing the item into other apps.<\/p>\n Pressing harder \u201cpops\u201d open the relevant app of the preview you were viewing.<\/p>\n For those who are happy with Apple\u2019s default apps on iPhone, peek and pop is bound to be very useful. If you prefer third-party apps such as Google Maps, however, it remains to be seen how peek and pop will be integrated into\u00a0them.<\/p>\n Fortunately, the utility of 3D Touch doesn\u2019t begin and end with peek and pop.<\/p>\n You can also press-and-hold on home screen icons to get a jump list of shortcuts to some of an app\u2019s features, such as composing a new message from Mail or sending your location from Maps.<\/p>\n Putting pressure on the iPhone\u2019s keyboard turns it into a trackpad which lets you move the typing cursor around more easily.<\/p>\n iPhone 6s Plus hands-on rear<\/p><\/div>\n Another new feature is the live photos option, which allows you to\u00a0take a photo while simultaneously capturing the moments just before and after the image with movement and sound.<\/p>\n With the Live option enabled in the camera app, you take a photo like you normally would. When viewing the photo, you hold down on the image to activate it as short video clip.<\/p>\n The \u201cS\u201d releases of the iPhone tend to feel a little less exciting than its major launches, with devices sometimes getting little more than a bump in specifications.<\/p>\n While the improvement in case strength, processor speed, and camera resolution is certainly welcome, 3D Touch gives the iPhone 6s range a stand-out improvement over the iPhone 6.<\/p>\n Final judgment is reserved pending a full review, but it looks like the iPhone 6s will be a worthwhile upgrade for iPhone 5s owners, and may even be a consideration for those who want to give their iPhone 6 to a family member and trade up.<\/p>\n iPhone 6s launch party at MTN HQ<\/p><\/div>\n Cheapest-ever iPhone 6s and 6s Plus prices in South Africa<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n This is how the iPhone 6s 3D Touch sensor works<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n iPhone 6s pricing: South Africa versus the world<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n iPhone 6s randomly shutting off: reports<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>Live photos<\/h3>\n
