3D Touch is a major addition to ios9 and the new 6S...Ive found a few ways I wasn't aware of and noticed several of my apps just updated to use 3D Touch...please share other ways to use 3D Touch...this is my favorite:


How to bring up the trackpad with 3D Touch
On the iPad you can turn the keyboard into a trackpad by holding down two fingers. On the iPhones 6s, you do it with 3D Touch. It makes editing a breeze.

  1. Press firmly on the keyboard.
  2. Swipe around to move the cursor.
  3. Press deeper to select text.
  4. Let go to finish.
What's really nice is that you can press deeper to toggle between cursor movement and text selection. So, if you select the wrong text or simply change your mind, you just press again to go right back to moving around.

This is a great new addition as the previous method was a PITA.
