Force Touch is a haptic technology developed by Apple Inc. that enables trackpads and touchscreens to distinguish between various levels of force being applied to their surfaces. It uses pressure sensors to add another method of input to Apple’s devices.

The last Apple Watch to have Force Touch was the Series 5. The implication is that Apple did not want to pay a licensing fee for this technology and simply removed it. However, the features those technologies allowed can still be accessed. With watchOS 7, the hidden features were made part of the user interface.

We have already seen iPads use Haptic Touch and many other Android devices. The difference between Haptic Touch and 3D Touch is essentially based on the force of the touch. While the latter is more of a pressure-sensitive pop, Haptic Touch is a long press paired with an electric feedback when you press.

* These devices support Haptic Touch: iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, and iPhone XR.

In 2015, Apple introduced Force Touch on its Macbook Pro and Mac notebooks. Instead of a physical button pressing, the Force Touch trackpad relies on pressure and haptic feedback (technology that creates the sensation of touch) when the device makes it feel like a regular click. But Force Touch is a click, plus more.

Apple has retired 3D Touch on the newer phone models. There is a Taptic Engine which supports haptic touch, which is very similar.

What are System Haptics? A lot of users have said that turning off System Haptics does not work. Meaning that nothing changes after turning it off. Users may say that because they may not notice them because System Haptics are mostly very subtle and feel very natural.

Chip: Three times as fast. Buttons: Face ID instead of Touch ID, sensors in TrueDepth “notch” on display; home button replaced with gestures. No more support for 3D Touch.

While the Force Touch trackpad sounds like it clicks and feels like it clicks , it doesn’t actually click. There is a set of vibrating motors underneath that provides ‘force feedback’, also known as haptics in some applications.

Answer Wiki. Force touch is the term used to define a click on Apple’s new Force Touch Trackpad, is actually a kind of technology which uses hardware as well as software for the trackpad. The trackpad is force-sensitive, so it can detect different pressure on the trackpad you apply and have different features of a normal click or a force click.
