"iPhone 6s Plus" sounds like a Droid name now.
It sounds stupid. I wonder whether they will re-think the whole naming convention.

I love how almost no one is forgetting how much space this technology takes up inside of the device. Have you seen how big the Taptic Engine is when covering a surface that large? Perhaps they are not able to fit it into the 6s.
For those of you pointing out the the Watch has it, the Watch is 10.5 mm thick. The 6 and 6 plus are not that thick. The 6 plus is slightly thicker than the 6 and it also has the added length and width. These currently allow it to have optical image stabilization and longer battery life. This means that it has extra room while the 6 does not.

I think you what you want is an iPhone 6 then. lol. The whole point of the 6 Plus is the size.

What can Force Touch do that a long press cannot? Couldn't this be achieved through software? We already use one press for some things eg. Contextual menus or to brung up the spyglass on text.
Long press is what is achieved through software now, but that's all you get. Force touch should give you hard and light presses as well for example. Maybe even hard long press and soft hard press.
Apple is turning into the tech company's I've always hated. They used to have a set plan and had no fragmentation but ever since 2014 they have been going down hill.
How long ago was that VERY long talk about one handed use? I of course do just fine using my 6+ one handed but that's a different topic.....times change.... people's wishes change and apple is a smart company that can evolve and bring to market what the customer wants.... even if it does take them forever to be convinced.Apple talked for a VERY long time about how the device should be used with one hand, and now they're going to continue to splinter their lineup giving more features to the huge phone they said they would never make?
Eh, since the announcement of force touch and the obvious uses in a phone, I was actually considering upgrading from my 5S to a 6S. 6 Plus is too big for me, I think. If the 6S doesn't have force touch, I'll just wait for the next version that does.
It sounds stupid. I wonder whether they will re-think the whole naming convention.
make that iphone 6 plus a lot compact and i will buy it for force touch...but as it is, too big for me
That's most likely not true. I think 6s plus and 6s will both get it and if there is a 6c it might not get it. Also the iPad Air will get it too eventually.Force Touch Could Be Exclusive to 'iPhone 6s Plus'
I think they should. Maybe dropping the 's' and just going to the next number.
2015 - iPhone 7
2016 - iPhone 8
2017 - iPhone 9 and so on
agreed! Outside of software changes, the only difference between the 6s and 6s+ will remain the camera and possibly the 6s+ getting 2GB of RAM.
the 6 is still their biggest seller, and they are not going to cripple a flagship product.
With iOS9 we're learning from the Apple Watch. We've added deep customisation to make it our most personal iPhone yet. With Force Touch, Glances, and the amazing new home screen, its the most advanced iPhone ever. #callingit
Same here, lol.Ugh, I thought this was a new rumor. Thanks for bumping up a three-month old article.
Ugh, that would be so dumb. Developing for three different screen sizes is one thing...but having your app literally feel different on one device is going to suck as a developer.
