Naysayers listen up, Force Touch could have lots of use on an iPhone:
There are many, many context-sensitive applications for Force Touch.
- In 8.4's Music app, to bring up the menu (Play Next, Add to Up Next, etc.) you have to tap the tiny "...". Instead, imagine pressing a little harder on the item to bring up this menu, it would be a lot easier.
- In Messages, if you get a text from a new contact, press firmly on the number to bring up the context-sensitive menu (Create New Contact, Add to Existing Contact, etc.) instead of tapping "Details" then the (i) bubble to bring up this menu.
- In Contacts, press firmly on a contact to go directly into Edit mode.
- In Photos, press firmly on a photo to bring up the "Send To ..." option.
Each of those would work with an existing 'long press' input.
Force Touch provides a third input to a peRess, and I'm yet to see a real world example of this that makes sense,
