After recording 'unusual'success with the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus handsets, Apple Inc is reportedly manufacturing early units of the next iPhone model, which could be named the iPhone 6S or iPhone 7. The news, coming out from Blommberg, confirmed what we had shared before that Force Touch feature will be coming to the iPhone 7.
Just in case you don't understand what Force Touch is it is a feature that is able to differentiate between a gentle tap and hard press on the display, and brings up different functioning like scrolling and swiping in apps and messages. This feature can be found on the Apple Watch and the 2015 Apple MacBook.
Force Touch is one feature analysts seem to be talking about for a while now. For instance KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo revealed some months back that the next iPhone would come with Force Touch. 9to5Mac writer Mark Gurman also touched on the same Force Touch feature when he told us what he knew about the iPhone 7.
Whilst Kuo, who is respected for his solid track record of spilling details of Apple products before they get into the public domain, also said the iPhone 7 smartphone would have a 12-megapixel camera--upgrade from an 8 MP rear camera-- and a new microphone to improve on voice clarity will be placed near the phone's speaker.
Meanwhile, Bloomerg says Apple would still retain the design of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus on the next iPhone, as well as their screen sizes--4.7-inch and 5.5-inch. However we will some cool features in iOS 9.
