1. Keyboard (spacebar) to control cursor
2. Force touching the leftmost side of the screen to swith app

These features make my 6 Plus feel obsolete/outdated.

I use peek and pop pretty often.

I've known you could use some kind of control cursor, but I don't know how it's done, and I haven't bothered to find out.

Didn't know that thing was called Force Touch until I came in here.

Edit: A few hours after the message above, I decided to look up the cursor. Holy crap, that's useful. When I heard something about a "cursor", I was expecting something else.

Safari, messages, email, photos, camera, pretty much every app that has it.

It's a great shortcut and addicting to use once you get used to it.

Peeking on links is so usefull, like on whatsapp/mails and stuff. I miss it so much when I try to use it but apps havn't updated it yet...

Mostly peek on links.

In tweetbot peek on Twitter threads.

Slowly using it on email previews

One things for sure the people who say it's the same thing as long press are way off at when comparing to the jailbreak version. Could just be the lack of haptic vibration when it pops.

Keyboard cursor is my #1. I also dog the shortcuts on a lot of the app icons. I have to remember to use it though.

The app switcher gesture is a little awkward and I usually prefer double clicking the home button still.

Peak and pop (email and Instagram) and the keyboard trackpad are serious game changers for me. Everything else is just icing. Sweet, sweet icing.
