Check out this concept video demonstrating how Apple’s new Force Touch feature might work on the iPhone 6s.Designer Maximilian Kiener says, “The idea is to jump into any settings menu with a ‘Force Tap’ on an icon, be it the Bluetooth-icon, or an App-icon. Historically, settings has been one of the domains where Android had a UX lead over iOS. To introduce a universal interaction for improving it at this maturity-stage of the OS would be a big deal. I’d be curious what other UX-ideas on an OS-level people out there have.”Notably, Force Touch modules for the iPhone 6s are reportedly being mass produced already and photos of a leaked Force Touch display were allegedly posted online a few days ago.Share Article:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Email,   Reddit,   Digg,   Delicious,   StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Newsletter,   App Store,   YouTubeAdvertise Here
