iPhone's Force Touch Tech May Track Contact Area Instead of Pressure, New 4

KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has a respectable track record at reporting on Apple's upcoming plans, issued a note to investors on Thursday that claims the next-generation iPhone will have a FPC-made capacitive Force Touch sensor under the backlight, laminated with metal shielding. Kuo adds that the change may be significant enough for Apple to call its next iPhone the "iPhone 7" instead of the so-called "iPhone 6s."

The analyst claims that the hardware design of Force Touch will be different than the technology used in the Apple Watch and 12-inch Retina MacBook. Instead of directly detecting the pressure applied by fingers, the new improved Force Touch hardware will monitor the contact area where a finger presses to determine how much pressure is being applied. The sensor will use capacitive technology and thin FPC material to save space."We believe that iPhone’s Force Touch sensor doesn’t directly detect the pressure applied by fingers. Instead, it monitors the contact area on which the finger touches the screen to decide how big the pressure is.

the Note 5 and OnePlus 2 have a lot of people going the other way.

it's all relative but I know several Apple fan boys who have jumped ship for the latest Android flagships.

:dahell: Why?? Seeing what Samsung has done with S6 & Note 5, you might as well stick with an iPhone.

because Android devices now have all of the things people swore was better about iPhones...better cameras, fingerprint scanner, high quality display, etc..

:ehh: That's true. I guess the following folks switching over aren't Apple loyalists/Stans.
