iPhone 6s Leak: Upcoming Apple Smartphone With Force Touch Is In Production Already

Apple suppliers have already started making new iPhone with Force Touch, according to a report from Bloomberg. Force Touch sense how hard users are pressing down on a screen.

Citing people with knowledge of the matter, the report said newest iPhones, in the same 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch sizes as the current iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus devices, will have a similar exterior design. It added that the volume manufacturing is scheduled to ramp up as soon as next month.

Force Touch was first seen on Apple Watch and now it has made its presence on new Macbook models. The feature lets users adjust the strength of their screen taps to bring up different functions.

Apple's release of iPhones last year with bigger displays brought it in line with comparable offerings from Samsung and HTC Corp., helping meet rising demand in China and other Asian countries, where consumers prefer more screen real estate, the report added.

While final assembly is expected to be smooth because the design of the new iPhones is similar to the current model, the timing and production volume of Force Touch-enabled phones could be impacted by the supply and yield of the displays, said one of the people, according to the Bloomberg report.
