Somehow it happened that I told about everything iPhone capabilities 6s, but paid little attention to 3D Touch. It seems, but today I’ll literally share exactly personal experience using 3D Touch. I will only tell you about those functions that I use constantly, regardless of whether it is built-in or third-party software.

Video review of 3D Touch chips

1. Dialer

From the first day I bought my first smartphone, I already knew that it would be more of anything but a phone. However, the dialer is still very important, if not the most important function smartphones. That is why most people have this icon installed in the first place in the dock. Like any smartphone, the iPhone has favorite contacts, but now by clicking on the icon I see the highest grade of favorite contacts, so to speak, favorite favorite contacts. And this is the only way I’m used to calling them, even without opening the application itself. I also use clicking when I want to send SMS or email directly from contacts. Why is this convenient? Because I don’t need to pay attention to where I am - in the Favorites, Recent or Contacts tab, I just click on any line - and I get the same list of actions in context menu. If I simply tapped on a contact, a call would immediately start in Favorites and Recents, and a card with all the data would open in the contact list. And here in uniform style and in the usual position relative to the finger, we get the most necessary functions.

2. Quick notes

I still keep most of my notes in Evernote, where I have thousands of texts and in general - there is no longer just a heavy hierarchy of folders, there is already bureaucracy there. Therefore, for quick notes, if you need to write down a number, address or movie title, I use standard application notes. By the way, it became very good in iOS 9, without losing speed, but maybe I’ll tell you about it later. To quickly add a note, I just need to click on the icon and select the first item in the context menu. This is also possible in Evernote, but opening will take longer, which defeats the purpose - quick creation notes.

3. Working with the keyboard

This is probably the most convenient of all that somehow uses 3D Touch. If I had to leave only one option from the entire list, I would choose this one. Moving the cursor through text has always been a difficult task for touch displays, be it iOS or Android. Having already gotten used to the Nokia E Series with a full keyboard, I was very pleased with how text navigation was implemented in BlackBerry. There you could use the joystick's touchpad or, in subsequent models, the keyboard. But the iPhone doesn't have a trackball, like the Nexus One or HTC Hero, or a keyboard. However, with 3D Touch, moving the cursor is the most comfortable I've seen on touch devices. Just press the keyboard and it turns into a trackpad. Next, walk across the screen and move the cursor to the desired location.

Perhaps not everyone knows, but in this mode you can also select text. Just move the cursor where you need it, press a little and select the text as you would with a mouse. You can then copy, cut or format it. In general, without the slightest exaggeration, working with text on touch devices has never been so convenient!

4. Reminders

I use standard reminders in iOS. They are gorgeous, in my opinion. And with 3D Touch they have become even more usable! I have main lists, like Komandda, where I add all the things to do so as not to forget, there is a bucket show, there I put what to take on the expedition so as not to die, there is a shopping list for home. It is shared and my wife and I add purchases to it. And it’s convenient that I can add a new reminder to any of the lists directly from the icon! Gorgeous!

5. Launch the desired mode in the camera

To enable desired mode in the camera, you previously had to launch it and move between them. For example, I often need to immediately switch to video shooting mode so as not to miss a funny moment in the office or with a child, so now I turn on all modes, except photography, directly from the icon on the main screen. I also take selfies!

6. Chekin

Yes, I may disappoint you, but I'm still checking in. The Swarm app has 3D Touch support, and it consists of one point: check-in. And that's right, why overload? home screen? I click on this item and immediately select from the list of places nearby the one in which I am located.

7. Preview in Safari

Peek & Pop is one of the main features of 3D Touch, and it was this feature that was given the most time at the presentation new iPhone 6s. I use P&P everywhere occasionally, but mostly in multiple applications. The first one is Safari. The simplest example is a page with many links, for example - search results. On the computer, when I search for something, I open each link in a new tab in order to save the results and become familiar with the content. On a smartphone this was very difficult, but with 3D Touch you can simply preview the content via a link and then either open the entire page with a strong press, or continue the search.

8. Preview Instagram Profiles

And another useful example of using Peek & Pop for me is previewing profiles on Instagram. When reading comments, I sometimes open profiles to look at a person's work. Now everything is much faster, I just preview the profile and immediately understand whether it’s worth subscribing or whether it’s better to pass by.

9. Periscope

I periscope, although not very often, but in the most interesting conditions. And in general the service turned out to be very cool. In order not to launch the application and not look for where a specific developer placed the specific element I need (in in this case– broadcast), I start the broadcast from the icon.

Oddly enough, many people use 3D Touch to quickly bring up multitasking by pressing and dragging from the left side. It didn't seem very convenient to me, perhaps because of the film.

This is how I use 3D Touch most often. This functionality is supported by many applications today, but I constantly use these 8 cases. I would also like to mention the Taptic Engine, thanks to which pressing on the display feels like pressing a key with a response.

If you find an error, please highlight a piece of text and click Ctrl+Enter.

Much about the new product became known in advance, but Apple was again able to surprise. This time she reinvented multi-touch, or rather, 3D Touch.

This magical letter "s"

Traditionally iPhone with index " s"do not differ from their predecessors in design, but they bring a lot of interesting things in terms of functionality. Every time you think: “ I won't update my iPhone this year, it still looks exactly the same as last year.“, - and every time you find a reason to jump to a new product. Of course, in this case we are talking about real iManiacs, although on the other hand, gadget owners who skipped the previous generation often switch to “s” models.

So, iPhone 3Gs brought us a really cool camera for its time, an oleophobic display coating, a magnetometer (electronic compass) and a very powerful processor, three times superior to its predecessor. The focus was on Siri, increased performance and the camera, which grew from 5 MP to 8 MP. pleased me with the world's first 64-bit processor and really cool touch sensor ID, which began to be used in third party applications Same.

So what? iPhone 6s? Without undue modesty, this device can be called revolutionary, since it was in it that Apple made big step in further development touch interface. For the first time in seven years.

Same on the outside, different on the inside

The coprocessor responsible for the phone activity tracker has also been updated. Apple M9 monitors the readings of the built-in sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, barometer, compass) even more effectively, plus has access to the microphone. In fact, the phone always “listens” to the user and responds to the phrase “ Hey Siri"(in the Russian version it will probably be " Hey Siri»).

Fingerprint sensor Touch ID has not undergone qualitative changes. Phil Schiller called it a second-generation sensor, that is, similar to that in the iPhone 6. It scans a fingerprint twice as fast as its predecessor in the iPhone 5s. To be honest, I'm still delighted with the speed of Touch ID on my personal iPhone 6 Plus.

The radio part of the phone has also been updated. LTE module has received support yet more frequencies and now supports absolutely all global networks fourth generation. New Wi-Fi module twice the peak data transfer speed, up to 866 MB/s. Don't forget about the Bluetooth module, which has been updated to version 4.2. As in.

Remember Taptic Engine on Force Touch trackpads new MacBooks and in Apple Watch? It also found its home in the iPhone 6s instead of the standard vibration motor. So now the device will not just vibrate, but give out real positive vibrations. Moreover new module capable of achieving maximum vibration strength almost instantly, namely in 10 ms. I hope that vibration feedback will appear in the on-screen keyboard, I really like it in Android devices.

The body of the smartphones has become a little thicker, literally 0.2 mm compared to its predecessors (7.1 and 7.3 mm, respectively), and the weight is several grams more (143 and 192 g, respectively), which is due to the new alloy and the presence of ribs rigidity inside the housing.

As for the cameras, that’s a separate matter. Still, the first increase in the number of megapixels in a photomodule in four years.

More megapixels, finally

Hooray - the main camera has acquired 12 megapixel sensor. Yes, competitors already have 23-megapixel modules, but you understand perfectly well that the number of megapixels does not mean automatic improvement quality.

So, in the new module, Apple took care to ensure that the increased pixel density in the sensor does not negatively affect the quality of the pictures. In particular, there was no more noise and color distortion. The problem was solved with a new pixel design with improved isolation between them. Thus, light does not cross between subpixels and the data is not mixed, which avoids noise, artifacts and errors when forming a photograph. But the lens remains the same- f/2.2 aperture, 5-element lens, hybrid infrared filter. But the number of so-called focusing pixels (phase autofocus system) was doubled, so autofocus remained just as fast and actually a record holder among mobile devices.

A great addition to new camera steel and new chips. For example, live photos, which are essentially 3-second videos shot at the camera's maximum resolution and even with sound. Another important thing for some comrades will be 4K video support.

The number of megapixels in the FaceTime camera has increased from 1.2 to five. Now your selfies will be clear. Even in the dark. The fact is that the display was turned into a flash for front camera. And with a flash True Tone which mixes yellow and white light to get natural color rendition in the photo. Everything is the same as in the rear hardware flash.

Also, the display controller somehow makes the screen glow three times brighter in flash mode than in flash mode. regular work. It seems like a small thing, but for selfie lovers this is a great achievement and an opportunity to write “selfies” right in nightclubs or at concerts in cheerful twilight conditions.

>>> Chapter updated after our review:

So, have the photos gotten better? See for yourself. The first photo is an iPhone 6, the second is an iPhone 6s.

When zoomed out, the photos are almost identical. Here and there there is a subtle difference: one slightly brightened the picture here, but darkened it in the next similar frame. If color rendition has improved, it is only slightly.

At the same time, the increased resolution of the image in 6s bears fruit after shooting: more opportunities for high-quality retouching photos (more working data) and b ABOUT Greater freedom to “crop” the frame without a significant loss in the clarity and quality of the resulting fragment.

Shooting in low light, if improved, is imperceptible. As a rule, most photographs on an iPhone are taken in precisely these situations: at home, in a restaurant, club, at work, in the evening...

There is not much digital noise here, but its quantity has not changed, and the quality of the photos themselves has not become better - in particularly advanced cases, an artifact removal algorithm is triggered, giving an identical, blurry result on any of the platforms.

At the same time, the iPhone 6s became worse at shooting in the dark. But this is a Live Photo.

3D Touch

Finally, let's talk about a new word in mobile touch interfaces. Thanks to the presence of a pressure sensor, Apple has implemented a mass interesting ideas, providing even greater comfort when working with a smartphone.

For example, the function Peek and Pop. IN mail client you put your finger on a letter in the list and hold it - it stands out (beautifully implemented using a blur effect for the rest of the letters). Press it a little harder and a window with the contents of the letter will pop up. Reduce the pressure and the window will disappear, press a little harder and you will open this letter to answer it or study it in more detail.

Want to see what's hidden under a link on a web page without leaving it? No problem - do the same steps as described above. We pressed, increased the pressure a little - we saw a window with a preview of the page, if you liked it, press harder and open it in full screen.

This feature is very convenient in the camera interface, when you can quickly view the photo you just took without going to the gallery. Just click on the photo icon at the bottom of the screen and apply a little pressure.

With 3D Touch you can do all sorts of interesting things with application icons. They pressed, pressed a little and saw additional menu quick action. So in the application " Camera» these will be: take a selfie, record a video, record a slow-motion video, take a photo. IN " Messages" you will see three contacts from " Chosen", accordingly, you can almost instantly select the right person and immediately start writing him a message. WITH " By phone" - similar.

3D Touch supported gestures. Swipe up in page thumbnail mode, for example, in Safari, and you will open this page in a new tab or add it to your “Reading List” (actions are customizable). During quick view letters you can swipe left for it quick removal or swipe right to mark it as unread.

And this not all the chips new technology . Press harder on-screen keyboard, and it turns into a trackpad to control the cursor and quick selection text (I'm ready to upgrade my iPhone 6 Plus just for this). Swipe in from the edge of the screen, pressing a little harder, and you'll be taken to the multitasking menu. Drawing with 3D Touch is also more fun. Viewing live photos is also more comfortable - just press a little harder and while you press, the picture will be animated. By the way, now there is also full support animated wallpaper, which can be used as live photos.

Watch a video in Russian showing how 3D Touch works live.

Is it revolution or evolution?

On the one hand, the iPhone 6s looks no different from its predecessor, having become only a little thicker and heavier. On the other hand, Apple has implemented a lot of interesting things in the new product. This is the revolutionary 3D Touch, and Taptic Engine, and new photo modules, and a much more powerful processor, and an improved radio part, and even cooler fingerprint sensor. Taken together, it looks like a revolution.

There is only one exciting question left - how much RAM is in the new products - 1 GB or 2 GB? I hope that it is still 2 GB, although even without this there are enough useful goodies that make you want to change yours to an iPhone 6s Plus.

Pre-orders for iPhone 6s and 6s Plus in the first wave countries will be available on September 12:

As for prices, USA iPhone 6s will cost $649 , $749 or $849 (16, 64 and 128 GB), and iPhone 6s Plus - $100 more expensive. Plus add VAT to the prices mentioned, which in the USA is up to 10% (depending on the state).
