The Force Touch trackpad responds to your taps and presses with haptic feedback technology that you can actually feel.

It has 'force sensors' under its four corners, and they detect subtle differences in the amount of pressure you apply, making it possible to perform a variety of different functions in different apps.įorce sensors not only detect your click, but also move the trackpad laterally toward you, mimicking the downward motion of a trackpad. The Force Touch trackpad doesn't actually move when pressed. You can adjust the feature's sensitivity, so that the pressure needed to register a click is determined by you.įorce Touch can even tell whether you're clicking with your thumb or another finger and auto-adjusts to the sensitivity level. Apple describes Force Touch as the 'most significant new sensing capability' since it included Multi‑Touch in older MacBook laptops.Īpart from the usual gestures (like scrolling, swiping, and pinching), the Force Touch trackpad has a customisable feature aptly titled Force Touch.
