We just learned more about how the iPhone 6S' new screen will work

The iPhone 6

The biggest change that analysts and industry watchers
are expected to see in the next iPhone is its Force
Touch screen.
Force Touch is the technology already found in the
Apple Watch's display that allows it to detect pressure
in addition to taps and swipes.
Now, 9to5Mac's Mark Gurman has revealed a ton of
details that explain how this Force Touch functionality
will change the way you use your iPhone.
The project is currently being called Orb internally,
reports Gurman, who has a very strong track record
when it comes to accuracy. Here's an overview of the
shortcuts we can expect per Gurman's report:
You'll be able to Force Touch on a destination in the
Maps app to immediately start turn-by-turn directions.
In the Music app, you would be able to Force Touch on
a song in a list to pull up options such as adding a song
to a playlist or saving it for offline.
There's another feature being tested that would pull up
certain shortcuts to destinations within apps after Force
Touching the icon on your home screen. For instance,
Force Touching the Phone app could bring you to your
voicemails, or performing the same action on the News
app could bring you to your Favorites or For You tab.
Apple will borrow some Force Touch gestures from the
ones currently available for the Mac. This may include
Force Touching a link in Safari a preview of that page.
It's worth noting that Gurman says these features are
being tested, so it's possible that we may not see all of
them when the final version ships. The report also says
that Apple has been experimenting with 4K video
recording for its next iPhone, but it's unclear if that
feature will be ready to ship.
Gurman's latest report is one of several indications that
Apple may be planning to integrate Force Touch into the
next iPhone. Ming-chi Kuo, an analyst with KGI
Securities that's known for his accuracy when it comes
to Apple product predictions, has also been writing for
months that the next iPhone will have Force Touch.
Developers are already thinking about how they would
integrate Force Touch into their own apps. From what
we've heard, it sounds like there could be some handy
use cases in photography apps specifically.
“I’ve definitely been thinking a lot about it in terms of its
capabilities,” Cole Rise, creator of the popular
photography app Litely said to Business Insider. “Say, if
you wanted to change the color of something, you could
Force Touch and it would change that.”
Apple is expected to unveil its next iPhone on Sept. 9,
although the company has yet to send out invitations to
the press.
