The issue I see is that force touch would require additional space inside the casing, meaning a thicker phone, meaning... Apple won't do that.

Apple to Add Force Touch and Pink Color Option to Next iPhones, Screen Size to Stay the Same

I had a black one just before my first iPhone, sometimes I still miss a flip phone.
A BIG question is does this signal a change OLED. The is some speculation that Force Touch can't be implemented as well using an LCD display.
However a change to an OLED display is a big design change and seems less likely on an S version (6S).

No, they need more colours if anything. Purple/Orange/Black would be good as additions if they do a 6C, and the rose gold does look nice in the metals.
Like with the watch, its better if we don't all have the same looking phone.
Well we know when Samsung inevitably announces their pink phone that their inspiration will have been Motorola.
This really surprises me as an iPhone 6 owner. It has never and I do mean never failed to detect my finger. I unlock it 15-30 times a day and it's instant and flawless every time.
If your experience differs I'd recommend taking it to Apple and getting it replaced with one that works as intermittent issues are definitely not normal.
They're massively investing in LCD factories, so I'D say no at least in the short term. Apple's volume are massive which may be the real limitations here.
Thicker like the 3-4mm all the processing and screen is on the watch? There is enough place for that.
I'd love the emareld green like on the Samsung Galaxy Edge S6

As you just said yourself. "Almost flawlessy"
Mine ALWAYS works... Unless I come directly from the bathtub. Then my hands looks like I'm 200 years old and TouchID ofcourse doesn't work

If they're improving it, Apple obviously knows it isn't flawless.
It mostly works for me (95%+) and takes a short time to recognise. Occasionally my finger isn't seated properly, and it always fails if my fingers are moist.
It's conceivable that some fingerprint patterns are simply easier to recognise or that some fingers vary in contrast or moisture content, so it may be that the phone is not faulty, but that TouchId has problems with the individual. The first step is to try retraining and/or use a different finger.
it works 100% for me unless i've just got out the shower, then I have to make sure the thumb is properly dry. I'm amazed how consistent it is.
I'd like to try this force touch feature... I can imagine those gestures in actions like:
- <Touch to> Open the camera <Press really hard> Right now! Quick!
or
- <Touch to> Dismiss a call <Press really hard> Hey, leave me alone!
Now seriously, I'd like to know how this force touch will differentiate from a long press gesture.
What I'd like to have soon in iOS devices and trackpads is Pressure Detection which would really open a new field for drawing and musical applications...

Because obviously pink will make it so irresistible that every woman on the planet will just *have* to buy an iphone 6 even if they've been avoiding it for the last year because they can't fit it in a pocket or use it one-handed.
