WSJ: next Apple iPhone will have Force Touch-enabled display
According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, Apple’s next iPhone will have a Force Touch—capable display. The technology is already present on the Apple Watch, as well as the brand new MacBook.
Apple Force Touch senses the amount of pressure applied on a device’s screen or trackpad. Depending on the amount of force applied on the display, a device’s user will have access to a different set of on-screen options.
The successors of Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are widely expected to feature a similar design as the models they are bound to replace. Their screen sizes will also likely remain unchanged at 4.7″ for the regular iPhone and 5.5″ for the Plus model.
Apple however, is working on a pink color scheme. The new shade will join the already available silver, gold, and gray options.
Apple’s plans on the next generation iPhone are not final. Mass production of components for the next iPhone is expected to kick off in May.
