The Peek and Pop feature has been introduced by Apple during the revealing of the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, as an added feature for the 3D Touch. These “Peek and Pop” features apply to pictures, videos, links, contact cards, and locations that you send and receive in chats.

This consists of, as an example, a fast look on dates, occasions, conferences, net hyperlinks, flight numbers or cargo monitoring information.
The 3D Touch features in 4.0.1 Tweetbot are available only on the iPhone 6s and the 6s Plus, the two devices that support 3D Touch. If you own a Mac, you need to press Option instead of shift.
One of the my favorites is that when you activate the function on the “Photos” app, there’s a “One Year Ago” short-cut that will let you skip directly into the photo collections that you’ve saved in your phone a year earlier. There doesn’t seem to be a quick reply feature of sorts added to the heads-up notifications, either. Press a little harder and the content expands to fit the entire display, with the haptic feedback to accompany it.
Peek is used to zoom-out and see the full view whereas the Pop element lets you do quite the opposite, meaning zoom-in and check out the in-app specifics.

Live Photos ought to work much more smoothly on older iPhones since the feature doesn’t actually require new hardware. Live Photos is another feature unique to the iPhone 6s, transforming simple photos into vivid memories that feature video and sound. This is just one of the millions of applications that 3D Touch has, and its potential goes way higher than this. Developers can also use the tech for their games, and there are drawing apps that change the sketch based on the pressure you use while you draw. Select any of these for the lock screen and they’ll animate when pressed.
