Apple will be holding its annual launch event on September 9 and it is expected to unveil the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus at the event. Among various rumours around the iPhone, one of them suggests that the new iPhones will feature Force Touch technology, which will allow users to determine the pressure needed to register a click. The Force Touch can also tell if a user is clicking with a thumb or another finger and auto-adjust to sensitivity level. Presently, the latest MacBook and the Apple Watch feature the Force Touch.

However, Huawei stole a march on Apple, and unveiled its flagship smartphone Mate S, at IFA Technology show at Berlin, and showcased the similar Force Touch technology in the smartphone. Huawei demonstrated it by weighing a 280g orange by placing it on the screen of the smartphone. It revealed that the Force Touch allows you to measure the weight of objects between 100g to 400g.
