Let's get realz - there is killer app stuff with Force Touch. For example:
Pressure-sensitive drawing
Apple has also highlighted a third type of click/gesture that's for pressure-sensitive drawing. In other words: you can press lightly on the Force Touch trackpad to create a thin stroke while drawing or harder for a thick one when, let's say, creating a signature for forms in Preview.
The trackpad will of course also send a tangible response to your fingertip whenever you perform certain actions, including Force click, accelerators, and pressure-sensitive drawing, meaning you'll be able to feel even mundane tasks like like aligning annotations on a PDF.
Apple could gracefully/seamlessly adapt force to stylus use on the iPhone or iPad. Could get very interesting and the following patent released in May smacks of one that will stick - see: An Apple Patent Reveals More Force Touch Details for Controlling a Virtual Paint Brush and Interacting with 3D Buttons
