Users who have Apple Watch on their hands have more knowledge of the Force Touch feature, or users who have purchased the new Macbook experience this feature.

Force Touch is a touch sensing technology that Apple uses for Apple Watch, the new MacBook, and the new MacBook Pro.

With Force Touch, the device senses the power of light and pressure, and brings out different functions. Apple also says force Touch is the most important new sensing feature since the development of multi-touch.

In addition to the USB Type-c interface, the Force Touch trackpad can be said to be another of the most interesting features of the 12-inch MacBook.

The Force Touch trackpad does not move, nor does it react like a previous trackpad, but you can still hear and feel the click when you press it with your finger, thanks to its tactile feedback capability. When you click on the trackpad, its surface does not sink, but it creates a jolt, just like the force feedback of the PlayStation or Xbox gamepad.

The Force Touch feature is highly likely to be used in a new generation of iphones, but the Force Touch feature on the iphone is slightly different from Apple Watch and the Macbook touchpad.

It is said that the Force touch on the IPhone does not directly detect the pressure exerted by the finger, but rather monitors the user's finger-to-screen contact area and determines the strength of the press.

Guo Mingchi, a leading analyst, believes the Force Touch hardware design on the IPhone will be different from the technology on Apple Watch and the 12-inch Retina MacBook. Force Touch on the IPhone does not directly detect the pressure exerted by the finger, but it monitors the contact area of the user's finger to the screen and determines the strength of the press. Sensors use capacitive technology and low-profile FPC materials to save space.

Guo Mingchi also said Apple could change the force Touch hardware design again in 2016, removing metal shading and further reducing the thickness. He believes that this will improve the IPhone user experience, but that the Force Touch module Vendor TPK and GIS may lose orders, as well as metal shielding vendors Minebea, Hi-p and Jabil.

What are the benefits of this technology if it is added to the iphone?

　　1. Added a new functional dimension to the IPhone.

For example, now double-click the Home button to see the currently running program functions, in the future can be replaced by heavy operation. Similarly, now to quickly press the Home button three times to open the auxiliary features such as VoiceOver, the future with the corresponding intensity of the press can be achieved.

　　2. Improve the fingerprint registration method in Touch ID.

As we all know, the user must now put his finger on the Home button and then take it off and repeat the action multiple times to complete the registration. In the future, with the help of force Touch technology, users will be able to register by pressing the Home key and moving their fingers constantly. The IPhone uses the Home's analog layer to turn the sensor on and off, reading the data from the user's fingerprint.

　　3. Expand physical dimensions for gameplay.

So in addition to using the finger on the Retina HD screen, the user has to put a finger on the Home button, so that in the game run or encounter a shooting will get vibration feedback.

　　4. Improve the camera photography experience.

You can envision the use of force Touch technology, which allows users to change the focus of the IPhone ISight camera with different compressions.

Given that force Touch is doing well on the new Macbook, it can be expected to add a level of functional operation to the iphone, as well as many possibilities for application development. While this technology's vibration feedback may shorten the IPhone's battery life, it's worth it.

Since the Force Touch product on the new Macbook product can give users more detailed feedback and more possibilities, I believe I also expect that the Force Touch experience on the IPhone device will not disappoint us. If the developer of the IOS platform can grasp the intensity of the user pressing the screen, plus the information that we are now able to grasp the location of the finger touch and how many fingers the user is using, this will bring new possibilities.
