Apple’s new in the market feature “force touch” is a very good feature and offers a lot of more options and possibilities of doing an action rather than just a touch.
For those folks who do not know, Force Touch mechanism allows Apple to create different functions and follow on options depending on the speed of the tap, the duration of the tap and the force used in the tap.
This is a very unique feature yet just launched by Apple only, as this mechanism opens up a whole lot of new ways to interact with the customers with the interactive user interface, allowing users to press on the same thing and achieve different results just from varying the applied pressure. This feature has already been implemented in the new apple devices i.e. Apple Watch and 12-inch Macbook, showing signs of Apple’s seriousness and following this ground, the next device featuring this might be the yet to come iPhone 6S Plus.
Confirming the stats from the recent report of Economic Daily News, this feature will be exclusively available in the higher end devices aka the more expensive iPhone, meaning the iPhone 6S or iPhone 6C will not have this feature. This would mean another new feature added only to the Plus. In 2014, Apple added optical image stabilization, a larger battery and a full HD display to the iPhone 6 Plus, while not adding the same to the iPhone 6.
It clearly states out the tactical strategy of the Apple as it is trying to make the iPhone Plus the Macbook Pro of the consumer products, as for every extra 100$ you get new features for your device. It should be a big piece of attraction for the customers and would add on the already impressive profit margins for the iPhone.
As of now, no exact price of Force Touch can be guessed or said of, but it sure of first being launched for the higher end range of the devices and then waiting and finding a cheaper alternative before bringing it in the mass production line for all the devices.
Following the trend as of the retina display and the Touch ID sensor, Force Touch is expected to be seen on all the Apple devices by the coming 2016.
