iPhone J.D.:
3D Touch was introduced with the iPhone 6s in September 2015, and also works on the iPhone 7, iPhone 8, and the iPhone X (and the Plus variants of those phones). But even though 3D Touch has been around for many years, I talk to many folks who don’t even know that the feature is there. Frankly, I forget about it sometimes too. But there are tons of really useful things that you can do with 3D Touch. Here are a few of my favorites.
3D Touch is, by its nature, only discoverable if you seek it out. Or if you read articles like this one. Short, and worth the scan.
Very useful, thanks. I keep reading stuff like this, trying it all out, getting wowed by it, then never using it again. I think there’s a limit on how much of these shortcuts my brain will hold and if I don’t use them enough they evaporate fast.
When I finally upgrade from the iPhone 6, I may try to learn all of this, though by that time, it’s not going to be covered incredibly well since most people think it is “old hat” as it has been out for three plus years.
I encounter this sort of problem a lot, especially with macOS.
“Be annoyed that 3D touch is so inconsistent and so easily activated when not desired.”
