A massive iPhone 6S features leak earlier this week claimed to show the most crucial specifics of Apple's coming flagship. The leak revealed the iPhone 6S camera, RAM, screen size and also other features - including the one which could revolutionize smartphone usability. Could Force Touch on the iPhone 6S be considered a Galaxy S6-killing feature?
Details about iPhone 6S features were from a research note by market analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, of KGI Securities, that has been leaked to Apple Insider. The note suggested the iPhone 6S might have a 12-megapixel camera, 2 GB of RAM, and that this screen size can be between 4.7 and 5.5 inches (the 5.5-inch screen size may be reserved for a particular 'Plus' model).
The iPhone 6S can also be tipped to add in an extra microphone to boost voice call quality, and let you use gesture control support to navigate the device.
At first glance, these characteristics don't seem to become a massive threat towards the Galaxy S6. Samsung has, for a lot of years now, held the extra edge over Apple when it comes to flagship phone specs, knowning that trend looks set to carry on with the iPhone 6S (not really that that's stopped the iPhone consistently outselling the Galaxy).
But one item that really stood out from the iPhone 6S leak was 'Force Touch'. This feature - which will be brought over on the latest MacBook's trackpad - uses electrodes from the Retina display to spot whether you're pressing the screen lightly or hard.
Force Touch is definitely used on the Apple Watch, using a hard press mentioning additional options in Apple apps. But with a larger display there is lots more risk of the feature - maybe there is more than two levels of sensitivity? Could it take smartphone gaming to your next level?
While we like Galaxy S6 features, such as Edge display and heartbeat sensor, even we need to admit which a force-sensitive touchscreen would certainly be a potentially revolutionary feature that could certainly provide Galaxy's arsenal of gadgets a run for the money.
What do you consider? Could Force Touch end up being the secret weapon in the iPhone 6S, or could it not be enough to make the telephone contend together with the all-dominant Galaxy S6? Let us know from the comments.
