These Are The First Third-Party Apps To Support 3D Touch
Today the iPhone 6s will be in the hands of thousands of new users, and with it, Apple's newest hardware feature: 3D Touch. This piece of technology senses how deeply a user presses the iPhone's display, also giving the user real-time feedback with the device's new Taptic Engine. Today we have a list of the first set of 3rd-party apps that'll be working with 3D Touch functionality, right out the gate.
First we've got our own demo of 3D Touch on the iPhone 6s. Using a set of 96 sensors under the hood of the iPhone 6s (and iPhone 6s Plus), your finger is able to access a new layer of information and functionality. As you'll see here, many of Apple's built-in apps have 3D Touch abilities already.
The first entry on our list, Instagram, can be seen demoed in the video above. Pressing harder on a photo in your Instagram feed instead of tapping results in a Peek at content. This way you can get what you want and let go to continue browsing rather than needing to press your back button.
Below you'll see a list of apps that either have 3D Touch abilities right now or will in the immediate future.
