a couple of weeks ago Apple released the iPhone 6s and 6s plus which comes with something called 3d touch we did a separate video explaining what the technology does so if you guys haven't seen that video yet make sure to check it out over here basically it adds another layer of navigation to iOS allowing users to access quick actions along with features like peak and pop it's a huge addition to the iPhone and it works great in Apple stock apps but it only really become a huge part of the future if developers use it in their apps after all our smartphones wouldn't be anything without apps we use every day now there aren't a whole lot of apps that support Apple's new 3d touch tech just yet but there are a few that caught our eye and magic piano for example if I were to press on the notes with different levels of force 3d touch changes the volume of the notes and creates a more complex sound it's very hard to show this in video but if you try it out yourselves you'll hear the difference the harder you press on a display the more two sound changes it's pretty much like playing a real piano giving you a deeper level of immersion magic piano doesn't support peek and pop nor quick actions but it will be able to figure out how hard you press on a display when you're inside the app next up is Shazam now with Shazam and Apple's 3d touch the Shazam app now supports quick actions from the home screen which means if you depress on the app icon a new menu will pop up giving you an option to either start listening or take a photo for visual recognition the new quick actions feature which Suzanne will make it faster for Shazam to start listening to songs whereas before you'd have to launch the app wait for it to load press the button and start listening it's not a mind-blowing feature but it's still cool nonetheless moving on to instagram 3d touch takes advantage of both quick actions and peek and pop when you press hard on the app icon and then you will pop-up giving you options to add a new post view your activity search and look at your DMS inside the app if you're in someone's profile you can peek at a photo with a medium press and if you press a little harder it'll pop into the actual photo now you can do the same in your timeline and let's say if you want to peek at someone's profile without fully going into their page you can 3d touch their profile photo or name and it'll show you a brief overview you can swipe up for more options such as sending a message unfollow or turn on post notifications for that specific user I think it changes the way we view photos and profiles and Instagram and I personally use this feature on a daily basis next up is Dropbox now similar to instagrams feature you'll be able to 3d touch the app icon to bring up options like uploading a photo of you recently action files as well as search in your Dropbox inside the app though you'll be able to peek and pop to get previews of folders or files it's a really neat feature that I'm sure heavy Dropbox users will enjoy and last but not least is Evernote now if you're a heavy Evernote user you'll be able to navigate through all your notes using 3d touch with quick actions from the home screen you'll be able to add a new note take a photo or set a reminder inside the Evernote app however you can activate 3d touch to peek into links and then press deeper to pop into the full website you can even use the same feature to get a preview of your notes if you'd like which is very similar to Dropbox making it easier for you to find the right notes now all of these apps we mentioned today are free so if you guys want to check them out check out the link in the description below and if you guys haven't seen our iPhone 6s and 6s plus reviews make sure to check them out over here anyways thank you guys so much for watching and if you guys enjoyed this video make sure to give it a thumbs up and we will see you guys in the next one
