apple tech news

Apple is planning to introduce Force Touch for the Apple Watch and it shall be an immensely user-friendly feature.

 

Latest Apple news includes the new report that has been published by 9to5Mac and the report claims that iOS 9 shall see the support for features regarding Force Touch and also haptic feedback. Furthermore, both of these features shall be included in the hardware successor for iPhone 6 coming in the fall of this year. It is noted that this is not the first time that the users have heard about iPhone 6S or whatever the company shall call it which will get Force Touch. It is a feature which had been introduced in Apple Watch and also the new MacBook, however it comes from a source which is completely reliable.

The Force Touch feature introduced by Apple is capable of building pressure sensitivity into the input which is multi-touch. In this way, it allows the users to press more firmly in order for the secondary actions to trigger. It is often used of like a right click on Mac when it comes to the Watch. Through this, Watch owner can unlock the additional settings and options for menu which, otherwise are difficult to integrate in a small interface as that of the Watch.

Apple news reports that the new MacBook and MacBook Pros With Retina are capable of enabling the additional features such as dictionary lookup for numerous words, map views and previews linking for the addresses in Safari and other apps. The report from 9to5Mac suggests this shall be the same as the functionality of Force Touch on iOS 9 and also the hardware of next generation iPhone. One more feature it shall be accompanied by would be haptic feedback which would be real time based and in Apple’s lingua, it is called the “taptic” engine. It is also capable of providing the way for the developers to program the specific features for rather the power users, including what is already available for the regular users.

As far as the Force Touch potential is considered for iOS is concerned, it is huge. It, providing developers an access to the pressure sensitivity could possibly improve the drawing apps’ performance drastically. Also, allowing the feature to trigger some secondary commands and also open menus shall point to transition interfaces in which the content is more the focus, and the menus which are visible or the buttons are more likely to be hidden away. The iOS is reportedly inclined towards being more likely to be user-friendly and intuitive. However, on contrary to the Watch, users don’t have to actually ‘solve’ any problem for the minimal screen; therefore it does make sense that this shall be geared towards power users for the start.
