Hey, let us look at a review where they actually use it:

    3D Touch is a hard problem that Apple got just right Before the
    iPhone 6s launched, no one was sure how Force Touch on it would
    work. Now we know‹it works just great.
    ...
    It¹s so hard to communicate the experience, though plenty of
    people will get to enjoy it themselves in a bit more than a week
    when they start receiving the iPhone 6s. The best way I can
    describe it is that for all my attempts to get 3D Touch to
    misunderstand me, it just couldn¹t do it. I didn¹t need to use the
    heavy-fingered press I have to use on the Apple Watchthe 3D Touch
    on the iPhone 6s is almost gentle.

    And in moments my fear that this would be a feature that people
    would trigger accidentally and not understand what just happened
    started to fade away. Unlike taps and tap-and-hold gestures, which
    you can easily do without noticing, the extra haptic feedback of a
    3D Touch really gets your attention. Learning the necessary amount
    of force to apply will take the average human approximately 30
    seconds. This is stuff that fits right into our existence as
    creatures with dextrous fingers and opposable thumbs.

Yeah, seems completely confusing to them and they broke 5 screens just to
get it to work. : )
