As the Launch of the so-called "iPhone 6s" and "iPhone 6s Plus" inches closer, suppliers have begun shipping Force Touch Panels for the next-generation smartphones, according to DigiTimes. The report claims that Apple's supply chain partners started shipping Force Touch Panels in limited quantities in June before ramping up Production of the pressure-sensitive modules in July.
Taipei Times vaguely reported that Apple's Touch panel supplier TPK expects widespread adoption of pressure sensors, presumably for Force Touch, later this year. Force Touch, an existing Apple Watch and MacBook feature, is a pressure-sensitive tech**logy that will enable future iPhones to distinguish between a light tap and deep press and complete different actions accordingly.
Taiwan-based website DigiTimes has a mixed track record at reporting on Apple's upcoming product plans, but its sources within the upstream supply chain have proven reliable in the past. Apple has also an**unced new iPhones in September or October since the iPhone 4s, so suppliers ramping up Force Touch Production is to be expected with less than two months to go.
