APPLE TO ADD FORCE TOUCH FEATURE IN NEXT IPHONE

The new feature would allow your phone to respond differently depending on the intensity and how hard you touch the screen.

Apple may bring its newly launched Force Touch feature from the MacBook to next iPhone.

The new feature which was Unveiled at the APPLE WATCH event on Monday, the Force touch feature is incorporated into the new 12 inch macbook. Which brings pressure sensitivity to the trackpad of device. That means you can trigger different actions depending on how much pressure you exert on pad.

That newly launched feature could be included in next iphone, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing "people familiar with the matter." Specifically, the sources disclosed that Apple is planning to add this feature later on this year, though that isn't guaranteed that it will show up in 2015. Assuming the information is accurate, however, the feature seems to at least be on the table and the APPLE'S excellent think tank might be planning something cool regarding this feature.

Force Touch sounds cool for a touch-driven device like the iPhone. Currently, you might be using different gestures to navigate the screen. For example, you need to use a two-finger swipe to zoom in or out of the screen. In MacBook, Force Touch can detect the difference between a light tap and a deep/hard press. Adapting that for the iPhone could remove the two-finger swipe, allowing you to simply employ a deep press to zoom in or out of the screen.

Touch sensitivity has been on Apple's drawing board for a while, according to patent application published in January 2014. The patent states "Gesture and Touch Input Detection Through Force Sensing" it will become imperative to add force sensors to touch screen.
Force Touch is just one feature Apple is eyeballing for this year's iPhone lineup, according to the Journal's sources. The company is aiming to stick with the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch screens on the iphone 6 and iphone 6 plus, respectively. But it also may add another case color with addition of pink color phone it can be a good choice for girls.

Details about Apple's plans for this year's iPhone come from Apple suppliers, the Journal said, they further added that the company tests different technologies that may not end up in the actual product. Whichever features wend their way into the next iPhone, mass production for some of its parts is expected to kick off in May, the sources noted.
