Apple to Release iPhone 7 with Force Touch this Year; iPhone 6s Might be Shelved

Apple is making a bold move and may launch the iPhone 7 which is a year early of its supposed-to-be arrival according to the report of The Week news.

According to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple was supposed to launch this year the iPhone 6S.  Changes were made and it seems that Apple will instead launch the iPhone 7 with amazing new and exciting features consumers will definitely love.

MacRumors also reported that Kuo is a respectable analyst with a credible record on reporting upcoming and new plans from Apple.  The iPhone 7 will be introduced with the Force Touch technology which was developed for another new product from Apple, the Apple Watch and will have the update on 2016.

This new Force Touch technology differentiates a light tap on the touchscreen between harder taps or pressure.  This technology would allow independent app manufacturers or developers and Apple to be able to add new and more software features thus making the newest iPhone 7 device every efficient to users.

Force Touch feature was introduced for another amazing offer from Apple, the Apple Watch.  With its small display, it can achieve efficient control of the taps used whether light or pressured taps.  This will eventually be used on the much larger and wider screen of the iPhone devices.

Kuo even wrote that the Force Touch on iPhones do not detect how light or hard the pressure applied by the users' fingers.  It instead monitors the area wherein the finger has touched the screen and then decides how hard the pressure applied is.

Apple was supposed to put the Force Touch into the iPhone 6 but decided to remove it after facing technical difficulties.  It was even predicted that iPhone 6S will be the recipient of the new feature. 

Now, it was getting clear that the S6 series will be dismissed and the iPhone 7 will carry the Force Touch technology.
