The upcoming version of Force Touch found on Apple’s next iPhones will
concentrate on shortcut actions, according to new report from
9to5Mac.
On Apple Watch, Force Touch is used to reveal additional controls,
acting as a clever way to provide more options on the small-screened
smartwatch. Apps on the iPhone won’t have that same screen space issue,
so it makes sense for Force Touch to offer other capabilities.
A source
in the report noted a number of examples, including: accessing voicemail
by Force Touching the Phone app icon, Force Touching a track in Music
to quickly access another menu, and using Force Touch in Maps to
immediately start turn-by-turn directions. It’s said that iPhone Force
Touch will be used in a number of ways, including an interface localized
to the gesture, and via a shortcut list.
