New Apple iPhone Will Have Force Touch Technology - http://clapway.com/2015/06/28/new-apple-iphone-will-have-force-touch-technology765/

It has been rumored throughout the technology community that the new iPhone will feature Force Touch technology. This was confirmed by Apple earlier this week to be true.

FORCE TOUCH WILL REPLACE REGULAR HOME BUTTONS

Force Touch is the newest track pad technology available from Apple. It is made to deliver a uniform and responsive click regardless of where you press the surface. Underneath the track pad, force sensors detect how much pressure you are applying and give you new ways to interact with your computer. The new force click will enable new capabilities such as previewing a file, previewing a window without opening a new tab, looking up the definition of a word, and speed up or slow down throughout videos. All of this can be done without lifting a finger and is based on the amount of pressure you add to the track pad.

The new Force Touch also features haptic feedback, which is a tactile vibration from the track pad that adds the sense of touch to whatever is on your screen.

FORCE TOUCH IS CURRENTLY ONLY ON CERTAIN MAC LAPTOPS

Force Touch technology is Apple’s newest upgrade to their line of products. This feature is currently only available on the new MacBook and the thirteen inch MacBook Pro laptops.

NEW TECHNOLOGY IS ALSO ON APPLE WATCH

This touchscreen based technology was first featured on Apple’s Watch. The customers were excited by this feature, and it then migrated to the new MacBook and MacBook Pro. This integration into so many devices shows that this is not going to be just a trail feature, and that Force Touch technology will be around for a while.

FORCE TOUCH WILL BE ON THE NEW iPHONES

The new iPhone 6s will feature Force Touch Technology. This, along with other features that haven’t been released yet, is expected to make Apple’s newest iPhone a major success with the company’s users. The new iPhone 6s should be available this fall at Apple stores and other major retailers.

Apple Force Touch -- A New Touch Sensitive Keyboard From Apple - http://clapway.com/2015/05/27/apple-force-touch-a-new-touch-sensitive-keyboard-from-apple-123/

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office released information that it has approved a patent application from Apple that was filed in September 2011. The patent is for a “Fusion keyboard” that is a touch sensitive keyboard that allows keys to be multi-purpose based on the amount of pressure placed on a key.

Could Be Great For Travel

Although we likely won’t see this new touch sensitive keyboard in Apple stores any time real soon, it could be a great innovation for being who rely on their laptops when they travel away from home. This kind of keyboard would eliminate the need for a mouse or touchpad. It would certainly make it easier on the wrists from having to keep your palms off the often too-sensitive touch pad.

 

This new design looks like a take-off of the current technology, Apple Force Touch recently debuted with the Apple Watch and is also in the MacBook trackpad. Anything that makes it easier to use your computer makes it great for use for travel.

Apple is known for eliminating features that prove no longer useful or that can be done better and this touch sensitive keyboard with multi-function keys is certainly an improvement. The recent Apple updates to laptop keyboards by making keys wider and reducing key travel will certainly go well with this new technology. Larger, multi-function keys certainly go well together with moving around while in a car or train.

Features of the Apple Force Touch, Touch-Sensitive Keyboard

The information released by the Patent office shows a keyboard that reads input from traditional keystrokes, but also those from an interface integrated into the individual keys that will be touch-sensitive. The swipe and zoom features of the MacBook trackpad are still there, just spread over the touch-sensitive key interface. The Force Touch, touch-sensitive keyboard patent shows a mechanical key switch that has two positions. Depending on the level of pressure applied, the key will prompt different commands.

Additional Feature Offers Multi-Touch Commands

In addition to the touch-sensitive keyboard with the dual-purpose keys, the new Fusion keyboard gives the user the ability for multi-touch input. This feature allows the user to enter different commands simultaneously using different hands. Thus, one hand could be using a touch to control the cursor, while the other continues typing. This eliminates the need to lift your hands from the keyboard. A majority of people tend to hover their hands over the keyboard even when not typing, so this offers a good use for that habit.

Of course, being patented by Apple, the new Apple Force Touch, touch-sensitive keyboard is going to be available on iOS products, such as the MacBook, but that’s not to say Apple might now want to branch out eventually if the technology proves successful.
