Apple reportedly bringing Force Touch to next iPhone; pink color option?

Apple is planning to put Force Touch technology — which will be included in the Apple Watch and new MacBook — into the next generation of iPhone, according to The Wall Street Journal. The feature allows improved touch sensors to distinguish between a light tap and a deeper press, letting users perform different functions by applying different levels of pressure. Sources say the Force Touch versions of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will be released later this year. The screen sizes for both devices will stay the same, but Apple is also reportedly testing a new pink color option to go alongside the current silver, gold and space gray models.
