You can weigh Plums with iPhone 6s’ 3D Touch display

This is not the best use for Apple’s new 3D Touch tech in iPhone 6s but it works. A developer has created a proof of concept app that weighs Plums but it shows the weight as a relative percentage of the maximum force that the display can detect.

The app might never make it to the App Store as it is unlikely that Apple might approve of 3D Touch usage in such a manner but it is interesting to see that this is possible.
