3d touches the feature on the new iPhone 6s and 6s plus that everyone's talking about that Jessica and I are going to put it to the test compared to regular touch on an iPhone 6 to see if it's actually any quicker let's do this thing test number one we are going to make a phone call to one of our favorite contacts you're going to use 3d touch I'll be using regular touch three two one boom ah you definitely won that one yeah I think for me also because I've got that sliding motion right there so I can just use my thumb and slide up to that contact I don't have to open anything I don't even have to tap next we're going to take a selfie using the front-facing camera you're going to do a 3d touch straight from the home screen with a quick action I'm just going to do it in a regular way three two one and there we go yeah you have faster I have to remember to press the home screen pretty fast to get 3d touch there so you got to press it pretty hard not pretty fast hard we're going to take that selfie that we just took in the camera app and post it to Instagram by just to one new post through there's my picture next pretty close on that one but I think that the action of doing that over time you'll get really really quick in it right I think there's definitely a benefit of pressing holding and then sliding up to new post and being able to get to it that way we're getting is the keyboard now to insert a word in a phrase that is missing through the Notes app somewhat fit up and it is foxed we need a fox in here alright three two one so you're trying to press down hard on the truck usually this works a lot faster this time it didn't and then I scrub and if I lose my place it's no good so there's really not much of an advantage here you have to be quick on the draw to not lose any time now we're going to touch on pot in the fun the peak in pulp action you just couldn't resist I couldn't in the mail app so what we're going to do is we're both going to go into our mail app and open the same link tap on it but you are going to peak it whereas I have to open it hmm oh I think it has to maybe be the whole link home yeah oh that is so that's kind of an interesting thing that you dairy goes yeah it's the pecan pop is not that intuitive you have to kind of like fully hold it rather than highlight you do but it's nice because once I do that I can interact with that I can open the link I can press harder to go into the full pain there we go just did it whereas I only have the option to open it fully and then go back to the mail using the back button in iOS 9 so now we've done some comparison tests what are your thoughts on 3d touch overall I really like it I think it's going to be more useful for certain apps than for others I do like that the vibration makes it a little bit more integrated and immersive and I do think that in the first few minutes of me picking it up I wasn't as graceful as I could be and over time I think I'm gonna really get the hang of it but overall I do think it adds a little certain something that other phones don't have well for more on 3d touch make sure to check out cnet.com you
