Lukáš Čambala We are Force Touch They could for apple products for the first time see in the Apple Watch, then in MacBooks, and as time goes by and more information emerges, it is more and more likely that the next generation iPhone will also get a pressure-sensitive display. Mark Gurman of 9to5Mac now citing its traditionally reliable Apple sources writes, how Force Touch could work on iPhones.
Internally, Force Touch for iPhone is called "Orb" and should work a little differently than it does on the Apple Watch. On them, pressing the display harder usually brings up large menus with additional options that otherwise won't fit on the miniature screen. On the iPhone, on the other hand, Force Touch is supposed to help skip these menus and serve for various shortcuts.
In practice, we could effectively use Force Touch on the iPhone, for example, in Maps, in which we find our favorite place and by pressing the display harder, we immediately start navigation to the given place, which otherwise requires a few extra clicks. In the music application, thanks to Force Touch, we can save the selected song for offline listening, or call up a menu of extended options without having to click on the miniature buttons next to the song name.
Apple developers are also said to be testing the possibility of using Force Touch on the main screen, where it would be possible to set different shortcuts for individual icons. For example, by pressing the Phone icon, you could be taken directly to a bookmark with a dial pad, etc. We should already know some gestures on the iPhone from MacBooks: displaying a page preview when holding down your finger more firmly on a link or displaying a dictionary definition.
That being said, Force Touch will work differently on the iPhone than it does on the Watch, where a harder tap on the display is usually followed by a whole host of other options. On the iPhone, Force Touch should work in three ways: without any other visible user interface like on the MacBook, displaying the user interface around the finger that pressed harder, or bringing up a menu of additional options that classically comes out from the bottom of the screen.
It's also likely that Apple won't keep this rather interesting feature to itself, and will open up Force Touch to third-party developers as well, who would get new control options for their apps. However, it is not yet clear whether this will happen right away when the new iPhones are released, which should happen at the beginning of September.
Well, my 5 is crying out for an upgrade, we'll see. :)
I would like to, but 4.7" is too much for me :-(
That's a terrible name!!
Wide!
Phew
So we drove off, we'll get back in our jackets and relax :-)
calm down.. people are people... that is, if you are not the writer of the article from BI Studio at the time of the Greek arrest of my colleagues :). Otherwise, 4,7 inches is not that much. I let my wife, who has smaller hands, try it too, and surprisingly, the transition from iP5 to iP6 didn't affect her dramatically, and she happily agreed. I'm going for the iP6sPlus because the S versions are always nicer :).. so have a nice day
I'm fine, I've responded to that troll for the second time now and I won't do it again. Frustrations from my name or its mangling don't really excite me and I hope that he got it, he more or less achieved the opposite, I had fun and that's why the smiley in the given sentence :-)
BI Studio? The last time I wrote an article was 2 years ago and it was on Jablíčkář, then unfortunately I had problems with time, so nothing. So I'm at peace. :-)
But now to the point. It's clear to me that you can get used to 4.7" and then you don't want anything smaller, I also think that you can get used to the size 6 Plus (I don't know if it's 6" or another number, I'm not an encyclopedia), but for me unfortunately it is big. I've tried other phones before and 4" is really my maximum for comfortable operation, although I would get used to it in a few months, but you know that feeling that something is not right... I'm not saying anything to anyone, whatever Apple makes, I'm just explaining my point of view to the point :-)
I completely understand... I want the bigger size just because I could throw away the iPad mini. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that at least someone doesn't stop making more reasonable sizes. In a while we'll probably be walking around with a 15-inch LCD close to our ears :)
Exactly. :)
I bought an iPhone 6 as soon as I could, but after a month of use I humbly went back to the 5s, I just didn't get used to the size. Force touch is appealing to me though, maybe it will be an argument for it.
We'll see in September, I'm currently set on upgrading to 30%. If they do announce a 4" model, then we are at 100%, if something in between, we will see according to the characteristics, if I swing at least over 50%
You must be pretty smart to buy a 6 and then go back to the 5S
Boy-if you're bullshitting-ok you're just a bitch, but if you really did it, honestly-I wouldn't want to meet such a mega Moron. Just tell me that you love refugees and...
well, if someone's post here says something about the owner's intelligence, it's a post from Ona sis... :)
I've had an iP6 from a friend for a while now, and the size and quality of the display is simply addicting. In addition, he had it at such a good time, so it didn't even slip in my hand like when I held it at the store.
Force touch? What for! Why something so imperfect.
The file should have a new iPhone of at least 40 megabytes with a switch to 8 - for those ultra-coconuts for whom 8 lego pixels are enough
only a moron would buy a phone because of the camera, and that would probably be you ;-)
and what's the use of a 40 Mpix photo? If 40 Mpix, then some medium format with a digital wall ;-)
A typical victim of media massage, more pixels, better photo. More stripes, more Adidas, right. :)
Btw, someone who's a lautr, but lautr doesn't know anything, shouldn't comment on cameras. Greetings Pixels Zdar!
:)
Personally, I am in favor of implementing these technologies. I had the opportunity to try it on MB and I liked it. If the memorability (horrible word, I know) of the gestures, when to press and what it triggers will be well balanced, then why not? For 1. Apple will once again demonstrate its innovation capabilities 2. once again ahead of the competition, which will only look -> wink at Huawei :) 3. it's not my case, but I'm afraid of the price for repairing such a feature under glass

If my name was SHOUREK, I would walk through canals...
Articles are still being written about Force touch, but this feature is just a drop in the sea of innovation, it is not a "killer function" and if Apple wants to at least match iP6S sales to iP6 sales, it will have to come up with something better
