Apple’s Force Touch technology will reportedly debut on the next generation of iPhones, enabling a range of new pressure-sensitive taps for the touchscreen.

    Apple is incorporating the technology into a new display that will resemble the iPhone 6, albeit with a new sensitivity to how much pressure the user applies to the screen, company insiders have told 9to5 Mac.

    The “taptic feedback” system could eliminate the need for more finicky gestures, such as the double tap and the tap-and-hold. Apple is reportedly developing new gestures for iOS 9 and encouraging app developers to follow suit with new methods of scrolling, highlighting and navigating through content.

    It will feel familiar to Apple Watch users, who were among the first users to get their fingers on the new technology. Apple has also incorporated force touch technology into the trackpad of the newest MacBooks, which went on salelast week.

    有报道称，下一代苹果iPhone手机将配备力感触控（Force Touch）技术。借助这种技术，iPhone用户可以在触控屏上实现全新的压敏点击操作。

    苹果的内部人员告诉科技博客9to5 Mac，该公司正在把这项技术植入一款类似iPhone 6的新屏幕，从而使它能够以一种全新的方式感应用户按压屏幕的力度。

    这种“按压反馈”系统可以淘汰那些复杂的操作手势，比如双击和长按。据称苹果会为iOS 9系统开发新的手势，并鼓励应用开发商兼容新的滚动、高亮和浏览方式。

    对苹果手表Apple Watch的用户来说，这种体验也许很熟悉——他们是第一批用手指体验这项新技术的人群。苹果还把这种力感触控技术应用到了最新的MacBook触控板上。这款全新的笔记本已于上周上市。（财富中文网）
