When you tap on any app icon, you can get the app opened directly and when applied with more pressure you get few more options. For example when long tap on any address link to view the map above the current app and when pressed with even more pressure it will be opened in the Apple Maps. You can return to the previous screen by removing the finger.

We all have seen the bendable iPhones when the larger iPhone 6 Plus was launched last year. Apple has taken a lot of care to make the latest iPhone’s a bit stronger. As per the reports, the iPhone 6S will sport an anodized 7000 series Alumium body that makes the devices stronger and also the display comes protected with an Ion-strengthened glass. The same 7000 series Aluminum is used for the making the body of Apple Watch. The anodized layer on the iPhone 6S body helps against corrosion. Since a lot of care has been taken by the company, we hope not to see any bend-gate issues for the latest iPhones.
