New photos of the iPhone 6S that recently leaked online further confirmed previous rumors that the upcoming device from Apple will come with Force Touch support.

The latest leaked images were provided by French tech news site Nowhereelse.fr.

According to a report by Forbes, Force Touch is a technological concept that allows devices to identify different finger gesture controls through the varying levels of pressure applied on the touch screen.

Apple already debuted this feature in its various models including the Macbook, Macbook Pro and Apple Watch.

However, Force Touch technology will only work if its component has direct access to the device's screen. This will not work with designs of older smartphone models because they have thin metal plates that separate the devices' internal parts and display panels.

In the images revealed by Nowhereelse, however, the metal panel of the iPhone 6S has a rectangular portion that has been cut out. This opening could provide the component or sensor of Force Touch to directly access the device's screen.

The leaked images are almost identical to the ones released by Australian site Macfixit. The photos also show an opened iPhone 6S with a small opening on its metal plate.

Aside from the modified metal panel, Business Insider noted the front side of the device also features another sensor, which is placed on the iPhone 6S's bottom bezel. This exterior sensor could then work with the internal one to provide the device's Force Touch feature.

Apple has not yet released an official statement to clarify the rumored features of the iPhone 6S. However, since Force Touch technology was already introduced in the company's latest devices, it's safe to assume that the upcoming smartphone will also sport the same feature.

And, based on the new leaks, it seems Apple has redesigned the newest iteration of the iPhone to support Force Touch.

There are no official reports yet regarding the launch of the iPhone 6S but the device is expected to be unveiled sometime in September.
