iPhone 6S with Force Touch


Apple introduces a new version of iPhone every year with fresh upgrades. This year Apple’s much anticipated iPhone 6s will be outfitted with components that will enable Force Touch in the upcoming handset. According to one analyst, “This year’s iPhone could see one of the biggest changes yet for Apple's smartphone line”.

Force Touch is a pressure-sensitive technology that senses the level of force exerted and responds accordingly. It can differentiate between a light tap and a deep press.
Apple Watch and the trackpads of Retina MacBook and Retina MacBook Pros are also equipped with Force Touch technology. Being a key feature of Apple Watch, Force Touch is used to provide control in apps and open menus such as option to flag or delete a message in the Mail app. On MacBook this feature will let the user preview links in Safari and rewind or forward videos by simply tapping on trackpad.

However, Force Touch on iPhone will be used for shortcut features. For example,
  • Pressing on a song in music app will bring up a menu and let you save it in the playlist.
  • Pressing on a point of interest in maps application will begin turn by turn directions to that   point.
  • Force Touch can be used on the Home screen as well. For example, a deep press on the Phone icon lets you immediately jump to voicemail.
  • Functions seen in the latest MacBooks will also make an appearance so you can press links to preview them or look up terms on Wikipedia. Similarly Force Touch on a contact name will preview its contact card and on an address will bring up its map view.

This new feature will give iPhone 6s a competitive advantage in the market.
