Used it very little, forget it is there. Very happy with my 6S+

I honestly don't think I have used it once, more of a gimmick to me than anything. I can see some useful uses of it but overall..blah

 

[zaquinho17]

its not a gimmick if you know how to use it.. its biggest application is messages and calls... i can quickly jump to a message or a call card so easily. love it

they do need to figure out more ways to use it

i think you should be able to adjust settings on certain apps
ie. force touch on messages brings up a select few contacts (same with 'phone' app)

I don't think it will be very big this year, but if they find more uses for it in the iPhone 7, then I can see more people using it by then.

I've used it a few times but waiting for more apps take advantage of the 3D Touch. I know once Facebook releases their update I will use it a lot.

I use the peek feature quite a bit but the 'pop' feels like I'm going to damage the screen, or make the casing where it joins the phone body loose/click over time so I avoid doing it.

I completely LOVE 3d Touch - it's definitely the next big thing.

The biggest part I have been using is the keyboard becoming a track pad. I like the quick cursor feature for editing, its faster than trying to land in just the right spot when dragging over text. I have tried to incorporate the feature with other apps but really have not found it to be way faster yet. If iOS 9 had not added a link in the top left to go back to the previous application I would peek more often but with an easy way to return to where I was its not been a big deal to go ahead and just follow a link with a tap.

I use it solely for app switcher. It's awesome for single hand usage.

So far I am using it for quickly searching an app in the app store, multitasking, and cursor movement.

Previewing Safari tabs has been less useful than I thought it would be, because of how little information I can actually see.

 

[RossMak]

I have only really used it to test out 3D touch, I have not really used it as a tool yet if I am honest

 

[mattopotamus]

I use it for calendar events, phone calls/facetime, and must-tasking. I personally find it useless in messages and email.

Oh and the cursor.

 

[masotime]

Needs more apps supporting it.... But that will come in time.

 

[lookn4wifi]

My three most frequent uses so far are on the keyboard to freely move the cursor around for an edit, left side of screen in lieu of a home button double tap and a peek into mail maybe followed by a swipe to trash.

 

[nicnoc66]

Mainly use on the messages & phone icon to jump to one of my fav contacts

 

[kjm18]

Use on Instagram mostly to check activity and Twitter if want to tweet something

I love the track pad feature. The app switching feature seems like it could be handy but it needs refining. It's too hard to activate, IMO.

 

[adamhenry]

I use it for app switch all the time and peek at mail or web pages occasonally.

 

[chekz0414]

I use it for multitasking all the time; and the other swipe to go back to the last app after a press.

 

[mr99]

Can you guys explain how some of these features function?

Don't use it too often.

 

[lordofthereef]

I didn't expect to ever care about it. I use it for app switching all the time. Small learning curve, but now it's great.

I use it quite a bit to open the multitasking cards. Occasionally I use it for shortcuts to apps, but there are far too few that have added that functionality for me to be able to remember to use it regularly. I have to consciously think about using it that way, where using 3D Touch to open the app switcher is pretty much ingrained for me at this point. I don't use the peek and pop too much yet, to be honest.
