Force Touch is already available on the Apple Watch and the newest MacBook model. "The feature, which lets users adjust the strength of their screen taps to bring up different functions, is Apple's latest move to stay ahead of rivals such as Samsung, which this year released its latest Galaxy smartphone with a screen that can be viewed from the side," reports Bloomberg.
Final assembly could be impacted by the supply and yield of displays, the report added.
