With the upcoming iPhones however, Apple will be introducing a next-gen Force Touch technology with a three level of touch pressure sensor that can differentiate between a Tap, a Press and even Deeper Press. Apple may call it a 3D touch (according to the source) where the handset is intelligent enough to detect three of different pressures rather than the usual two.

The new 3D touch will make use of new interface tricks such as shortcut gestures and will also open doors to developers to implement a new level of user-interface interaction and application operations.
