iPhone may be the next stop for Apple's Force Touch tech

<article>
   <section class="page">
<p>Apple will reportedly include “Force Touch” technology in the next iPhone after introducing the pressure-sensitive panels in the Apple Watch and the new MacBook (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2894575/apples-radical-12-inch-macbook-air-is-the-slimmest-lightest-mac-ever.html).</p><p>Force Touch lets users perform different actions depend on how hard they press on the screen. On the Watch, for instance, a firm press brings up more options in apps like Messages and Calendar. On the new MacBook, pressing hard on the trackpad performs actions that used to require a two-finger tap, such as getting a Wikipedia definition when selecting a word.</p><p>Sources now tell the Wall Street Journal (http://www.wsj.com/articles/apple-plans-force-of-touch-technology-for-new-iphones-1426035015) that Apple will extend the technology to the next iPhone later this year. The report also claims that Apple will stick to the same 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch screen sizes as the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, but is testing a new pink color option.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2895373/iphone-may-be-the-next-stop-for-apples-force-touch-tech.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
