You’ve unboxed your iPhone, you’ve booted it up, you’ve told all of your WhatsApp groups you’re messaging from a new iPhone. Now what? This, this is what.

Understand 3D Touch

This is the killer feature of the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus.

But before you *dive* in, take a second to understand how it works. The main thing to wrap your excited mind around is the ‘Peek and Pop’ feature, which lets you dip into content without fully opening it. For example, soft pressing on an email will let you ‘peak’ at it, while a hard press will open it fully. Sliding up whilst ‘peeking’ on said email will also present other options and access to shortcuts.

Shortcuts are the name of the game with 3D Touch. If you soft press on, let’s say, the camera app, you’ll be presented with shortcuts to take a quick selfie. This is wonderfully consistent across iOS 9 and works with most Apple AAPL +0.20% apps.

Elsewhere, 3D touch can use used really intuitively. Another good example is hard pressing on the keyboard to bring up an on-screen trackpad, which lets you move the cursor with a degree of accuracy not possible just by tapping on the screen. Especially useful for the less dexterous.

There are other cool features like hard pressing on the edge of the display and swiping left to bring up multitasking. You can also hard press on a live wallpaper to kickstart the animation, or soft press on a ‘Live Photo’ to see the video footage of the seconds leading up to when the picture was taken.

Upgrade to iOS 9.0.1

Apple has released has already released an update to iOS 9: iOS 9.0.1, which fixes some fairly serious bugs. Forbes Amit Chowdhry explains more.

“Since Apple did not have a proper fix in place, the Cupertino giant quickly issued the minor software update. There does not appear to be any software additions in iOS 9.0.1. It just has bug fixes like:

- Fixes an issue where some users could not complete setup assistant after updating

- Fixes an issue where sometimes alarms and timers could fail to play

- Fixes an issue in Safari and Photos where pausing video could cause the paused frame to appear distorted

- Fixes an issue where some users with a custom APN setup via a profile would lose cellular data.”

Feed Proactive

Proactive is your new sidekick, but it needs to be fed to be useful. That means it needs to understand you; your likes, dislikes, embarrassing google searches (not really) and habits. Everything. Once it has this information, it will give you suggestions based on your past behavior. For example, Proactive will tell you when it’s time to leave for that flight you need to catch. Or, if you peruse Twitter TWTR +3.87%when you wake up, it will make the app available on the Proactive screen (swipe left from the homescreen).

So go about your normal habits; add dates to your diary, regularly visit places, and keep on endlessly consume content on the internet. Then sit back and let Proactive take control.

Get a case

Yes, this is the toughest iPhone yet. But life, oh life, – in the words of the chart topping singer Des’Ree’ – is much tougher and has bigger screen-busting pecs. So don’t get cocky. Get a case. And be sensible:  don’t get something strange just because it has (limited) comical value. Unless it’s this inadvertently lewd piece of kit, which everyone should buy.

Lots of manufacturers have announced iPhone 6S cases, and I’ll be reviewing many in an upcoming feature. But a good place to start is Urban Armour, Otterbox or Lifeproof (for waterproof cases). There’s also some more unusual options out there like the Olixar Quicktap screen protector, which adds Android-style capacitive button to either side of the Touch-ID fingerprint scanner.
Although, you might not need a waterproof case if TechSmartt’s iPhone 6S Plus water test is anything to go by.

Film some 4K footage….and then find a 4K TV to watch it on

Go forth and film that glorious 4K footage that’s now available on the iPhone 6S…. and then go and watch it on a 4K TV. 6S Plus users can enjoy the image stabilization that comes with the larger model, which means more steady and smoother footage.

If you’ve got the 16GB storage model, however, immediately delete the footage after watching it.

ALTHOUGH, do note some accessory makers do offer cases with built-in expandable storage such as the Leef iBridge. Whilst useful, it’s not exactly the most attractive piece of kit.

Embrace Apple Pay

You’ll be prompted to register your cards for Apple Pay on setup, and you certainly should. The list of participating stores in the US is growing daily and it’s worth your time. The novelty of paying for something with your phone, and then getting an immediate transaction receipt doesn’t wear off. Check out Apple’s list of participating stores here.

Get an Olloclip

The iPhone 6S’ new 12MP camera module should be properly exploited.And there’s only one accessory that will do the job: an Olloclip. It’s a super popular 4-in-1 lens attachment that create certain effects; such as a 15x Macro lens zoom without losing image quality, and a ultra-wide angle lens (155° field of view).

Download these essential apps

I’m building a new list of essential iOS apps to replace last year’s list. But a few early frontrunners include excellent camera enhancing software like VSCO Cam, Instagram Hyperlapse and Enlight. Productivity app Workflow is also worth a punt, as is the increasingly popular brain-training game, Peak.

If you want to briefly pretend that you’re interested in your personal health, iOS 9’s Health app is super in-depth, recording data from your sleep patterns to your reproductive health. It needs information to work, so if you’re prepared to take the time to enter the data, you’ll get a fairly detailed report on the state of your health.

Download Warhammer 40,000: Freeblades

Alright, this tip isn’t one to do immediately – Freeblades isn’t out until the ‘holiday season’ (read: Christmas). But, as one of the first games to use the aforementioned 3D Touch technology, but it’s something to get excited about. SUPER excited about.

Amazing Things To Do Immediately With Your New iPhone 6S - Auckland Apple iPad Repair, drmobiles 0800429429

The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus are the first iPhones to feature “3D touch“. 3D Touch allows the iPhone to detect how hard you’re pressing, and you can press harder on the screen in some places to do different things.

When you press down on the screen, the glass bends a tiny bit. A capacitive sensor under the glass measures the distance between the sensor and your finger to determine how hard you’re pressing down.

Use a Keyboard Touchpad

This extremely useful feature has been overlooked by many, but 3D Touch offers a very easy way to position your text cursor while typing. Rather than touching somewhere in the block of text you’re typing, you can use a much more precise method.

Just hard-press anywhere on the touch keyboard. The letters will vanish from the keys, indicating it’s now a touchpad. Move your finger around to move the cursor around the text box you’re typing in. Lift your finger when you’re done.

Activate Quick Actions on Your Home Screen

Most of Apple’s own apps now include “Quick Actions” you can access right from your home screen. Many third-party apps have also added quick actions, and more and more apps are supporting this every day.

To use a quick action, just hard-press an application’s icon on your home screen. Instead of the application opening, you’ll see shortcuts you can tap to go directly to an action in the application. For example, hard-press the Clock app and you’ll see shortcuts for “Create Alarm” and “Start Timer”. Hard-press a social media or messaging app’s icon and you’ll see shortcuts to create a new post or send a new message. Hard-press Safari to quickly open a new tab or access your reading list. The actions supported depend on the app — try it out.

If an app doesn’t support quick actions, you’ll just get some haptic feedback and a menu won’t appear after you hard-press it.

Switch Between Apps

Rather than double-pressing the Home button twice to open the app switcher, you can hard-press the left edge of the screen and swipe to the right to quickly switch to a previous app. Swipe enough to the right and you’ll simply swipe an old app onto your screen, but you can also swipe a bit to the right and release. The app switcher will then appear, just as if you had double-pressed the Home button.

Draw With Pressure Sensitivity

3D Touch enabled pressure-sensitive drawing in different note-taking and drawing applications. For example, the Notes application included with your iPhone has support for this. Evernote, Microsoft’s OneNote, and Paper have already added support for this, too.

You can play with this by opening the “Notes” app on your IPhone. Create a new note and tap the squiggly-looking “Draw” icon at the bottom of the note. Draw with your finger and you’ll notice you can make the lines thicker by pressing down harder, as if you were drawing on paper.

“Peek” and Swipe Up

Apple is attempting to create some new interaction methods, which it’s named “Peek” and “Pop”. These are supported throughout many of Apple’s own apps, and third-party apps are beginning to support them, too.

To use “peek”, you hard-press on something — a link in the Safari web browser, an email message in the Mail app, a photo in the Photos or Camera app, a link to a map in any app, and so on. That web page, email, photo, map, or other item appears in a little preview pane. You can then lift your finger and the preview pane will go away, so this is an easy way to “peek” at a web page, email, or something else without leaving the current screen.

While peeking, you can swipe up to access more actions. For example, while peeking at an email you can swipe up and find shortcuts to quickly reply to, forward, mark, or move the email message.

“Pop”

If you decide you want to load the thing you’re previewing, you can press down even harder. That’s the “pop” action. The item you’re “peeking” at will then “pop” into view, loading as a normal web page, email, photo, map, or other item of its type would.

Play Live Photos (as an Animated Lock Screen, Too)

If you purchased a new iPhone 6s or 6s Plus, then you may be loving the new Live Photos feature....[Read Article]

If you’ve taken live photos, you can open the Photos app and hard-press a photo to have it animate.

Apple also allows you to use live photos as an animated lock screen. You can take your own live photos and then set them as your lock screen, but your iPhone also includes a few default live photos you can set as your lock screen.

These won’t always appear animated on your lock screen, however. You’ll ned to hard-press on your lock screen after setting a live photo as your background. The live photo will then animate.

Adjust the Sensitivity or Turn It Off

If you’d like to adjust 3D Touch’s settings, you can open the Settings app and navigate to General > Accessibility > 3D Touch. From here, you can disable or enable 3D Touch and control how sensitive it is.

---

This can’t be a complete list, of course. New types of applications — especially games experimenting with new input schemes — could use 3D Touch in a wide variety of different ways. 3D Touch is really just a new type of input, and it’s up to app developers to take that and run with it. But you can expect many applications to support peek, pop, quick actions, and the other features Apple has started off with.

Unforgettable Inspirational Jim Rohn Quotes to Bear in mind. Famous, Auckland, iPhone Repair Unlock Dr Mobiles Limited

Widely known as one of the most influential thought leaders of the time, Jim Rohn honed his craft in helping people shape their life strategies and imagination of what was possible for over 40 years. He is also the author of countless books, audios, and video programs and possessed a unique ability to bring extraordinary insights to ordinary principles and events.

Although Jim Rohn passed away in 2009, his legacy lives on forever. He left us an incredible gift. His encouraging, uplifting messages and inspiring, thought-provoking quotes are beloved by millions of people and shared throughout the world to this day.

The Japanese have long established themselves as the experts of cute. When it comes to food, they can make it so awwdorable, that you will cry bitter tears blaming yourself for having eaten that sugary kitten. (Via Boredpanda)

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.

Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day.

Don’t wish it were easier. Wish you were better. Don’t wish for less problems wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenge wish for more wisdom.

If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you.. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else’s hands, but not you.

We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment.

Don’t join an easy crowd, you won’t grow. Go where the expectations and the demands to perform are high.

You cannot change your destination overnight. You can change your direction.

Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want.

You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of.

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.

Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.

The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.

If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.

The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not a bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly

Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.

Take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the clarity, and the emotions to affect other people.

If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.

Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying the basic fundamentals.

Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don’t fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgments, repeated every day.

It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.

Work hard at your job and you can make a living. Work hard on yourself and you can make a fortune.

The difference between where you are today and where you’ll be five years from now will be found in the quality of books you’ve read.

The greatest gift you can give somebody is your own personal development. I used to say, “If you will take care of me, I will take care of you. “Now I say,  I will take care of me for you, if you will take care of you for me.

The ultimate reason for setting goals is to entice you to become the person it takes to achieve them

You don’t get paid for the hour. You get paid for the value you bring to the hour.
