Though rumors have all that Force Touch will be included in iPhone 6s, but no exact evidence can prove that. However, according to the latest twit that the developer @Hamza Sood posted, he had found some hints on a piece of code on the latest test version of iOS 9 and confirmed the existence of Force Touch press sensor.
@Hamza Sood said on Twitter that “Some force touch code in iOS. Looks like they’ve tested kb trackpad gestures on the 6s, activated via force touch. ”Meanwhile, seen from the code screenshot he posted, keywords like“enable Deep Press”was considered a direct evidence to prove that Apple begun to test Force Touch. Considering the past features of Force Touch, operations like “enable Deep Press”will be a very important one, with which, users can get more monitoring functions, for example, to open settings or directly access some functions within an app.
To be specific, the most important feature of Force Touch is to simplify the operation process. In Maps, for example, deep press on a point of interest using Force Touch will cause turn-by-turn directions to start up immediately, while force pressing on a song in the Music app will bring up a menu to save it to a playlist. Force pressing on certain apps on the Home Screen could open directly to specific sections of the app.

It is worth mentioning that except the proof on software, the mysterious chip that leaked on the iPhone 6s display assembly, also seems to confirm the Force Touch’s existence on the newest iPhone. According to the latest leak of iPhone 6s display assembly, it is a little different from that of iPhone 6, with a rectangular chip added to the back of the touch screen. Though the features of it are not for sure now, it is suspected to be related to the Force Touch.
However, it is because of the existence of this mysterious chip, the area is a little thicker than other areas. While according to the former leaks, the touch screen of iPhone 6s will be slightly thicker than that of iPhone 6, with 0.2 mm thicker on the whole. Therefore, it may be decided that iPhone 6s will include Force Touch.
Of course the above views are rumors. As for what kinds of features iPhone 6s will possess, which will be answered by Apple on September 9.
