I'm having trouble conceptualizing how the 3D touch thing is supposed to work even for the sighted world. When Tim Cook demonstrated it on Stephen colbert the other night, the email app was the one he used. It sounded as if he was looking at an abbreviated list of messages and by pressing down slightly on the one of interest, he could peek at a summary of that message. If he was interested in reading the whole thing, he could press down further to pop the entire message open.
I realize the concept will no doubt expend as users put their collective brains to this technology but as far as the current email app goes, I'm not getting how it would benefit VoiceOver users. I currently have my mail app set up to read me five lines of each message so that gives me an audible peek at each one. Double tapping on the message to pop it open in order to read the whole thing really doesn't take a lot of additional time. As I said, I'm sure I'm missing a lot of how this new technology works and hopefully VoiceOver users will be able to get some benefit from it.
