App Store in iOS 9.3 Supports 3D Touch Shortcuts Peek and Pop

iOS 9.3 is Apple’s next major upgrade with a lot of new improvements, we have seen a lot of new improvements in its first beta, such as adding the 3D Touch shortcuts support for the stock apps in iOS. In addition, the App Store also got support for 3D Touch with Peek and Pop shortcuts.

Based on user feedback, in the App Store of iOS 9.3, any application icons got the 3D Touch supports: Peek and Pop. You can preview any application in the App Store just by tap the app icon. And when you press hard to pop into full screen view the app. However, we are unable to use Peek and Pop in the App Store “category”. In addition, Apple also adds a pair of new Home screen shortcuts for the App Store that are self-explanatory: Update All and Purchased.

3D Touch is a unique feature for iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, it will also continue to affect Apple’s future products, people operating habits will also change.
