I was at New York City Comic Con a while ago, and the kind folks from Yogibo had a variety of their comfortable "un-beanbag" chairs available for weary convention goers to try.

You don’t need 3D Touch to take a gif-like video, and it seems Instagram saw an open market after Apple's Live Photos release: meet the app Boomerang (free) for capturing short loop videos.

Spotlight Search allows you to search your apps but can also be used to search within an app. Each new app that you download is automatically added to Spotlight Search.

Your iPhone has a feature called Haptic Touch that lets you tap and hold certain items to get extra options and open menus quickly. Haptic Touch makes navigating your iPhone faster and more intuitive.

Apple's free Find My Friends app allows you to track the location of friends and family members who have given you permission. The feature probably works best for keeping track of teenagers running around town, and Siri is happy to help you locate them.
