Quick Actions are little shortcuts users can access by performing a long or hard touch on app icon. For example, pressing hard on the Phone icon will bring up a list of your frequently used Contacts. Third-party apps such as Facebook also allow users to acces commonly used features from the Home screen such as writing a status update by using Quick Actions.

One of the most significant new features on the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus is 3D Touch. The latest iPhone packs a pressure-sensitive display which can be used to invoke menus directly from the home screen.

Apple has already started to offer carrier billing to iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users in select regions.

The excellent software package f.lux automatically adjusts the color temperature of computer and mobile device screens at night.

This is where the app Gamma Thingy comes into play.
