New Secret iPhone Revealed: Set For Surprise Early Release
The
iPhonecellular phone made by Apple
6s and 7 (and their Plus siblings) truly come with trackpads!
The big bummer about a smartphone, of course, is that it doesnt have any pointing device apart from your big fat finger.That may create life clumsy once you need to highlight some text, e.g..
Whenever text is on the screen and the keyboard is open, pressfirmlyanywhere on the keyboard.All the keys go blank, as shown in the video over.Youve just triggered the Force Touch
featureSpecial attraction
(screen-pressure sensitivity) of those phones.
You can ease up on the pressure, butdont lift your fingerfrom the glass.You can now move the insertion-point cursor through the text just by dragging your finger astride the keys.If it hits the edge of the window, it scrolls automatically.
Still keep your finger down.At this point,hardpresses also let you select (highlight) text:Hard-press twice to select an whole sentence.Hard-press three times to select an entire paragraph.Or use this trick: Move the insertion point to a word; if you now press hard, you highlight that word.
At this point, you can expand the selection by doing any of these things: Drag up or down.(You dont have to keep pressing hard, but you do have to keep your finger on the glass.)Hard-press twice to extend the selection to the entire sentence.Hard-press three times to extend the selection to the entire paragraph.Once youve selected text in this way, the usual command bar (Cut, Copy, Paste) appears, for your text-manipulation pleasure.
Little by little, the iPhone is revealing its secret ambition to be a laptop.
