When Apple first launched the Apple Watch, it was the first Apple product to feature the use of Force Touch, which for those unfamiliar is a pressure-sensitive technology that offers up different modes depending on how hard you press on the screen. However, it seems that with watchOS 7, Apple has effectively removed the feature for good.
The update to watchOS 7 has arrived and if you haven’t updated yet, you might want to take note that the update will kill off any and all Force Touch functionality. If you’re used to using Force Touch for certain Apple Watch features, then either start getting used to not having the feature or just not update your smartwatch for now.
While the hardware that powers Force Touch will still be present in older Apple Watch models, the fact that the update killed off the feature means that you’ve got a piece of technology sitting in the watch that is now redundant. It is unclear why Apple has killed off Force Touch for the Apple Watch, but presumably it could be the same reason why they removed 3D Touch from its iPhones as well.
In the meantime, the Apple Watch Series 6 has also been announced where it is the latest entry to the Apple Watch lineup. There is also a cheaper Apple Watch SE which sits in between the Apple Watch Series 3 and the Series 6.

If you’re looking forward to Micorosft’s next-gen consoles, the Xbox Series X and the Series S, then you might be pleased to learn that you’ll be able to pre-order yourself a unit starting next week on the 22nd of September. Both consoles are expected to be released on the 10th of November 2020.
For those who are hearing about this for the first time, the Xbox Series X will be the more powerful of the two consoles. However, it will also be more expensive where it will be priced at $499. The Series S, on the other hand, will be slightly less powerful but it will also be a lot more affordable at a price coming in at $299.
Microsoft will be offering installment plans for both consoles through the Xbox All Access subscription program. This includes the console as well as a 24 month subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which lets gamers stream games from Microsoft’s library of games through their consoles, PCs, or even mobile devices.
This might actually end up being more expensive than if you were to buy the console outright, but if you were planning on subscribing anyway, it could make the entire purchase a less difficult pill to swallow.

For gamers who want to enjoy a massive library of games, it seems that Microsoft’s Xbox Series X could be the console to get. This is because the console will support backwards compatibility with games going back as far as the original Xbox as long as those games were already backwards compatible on the Xbox One X.
So what about the Sony PS5? Unfortunately for gamers, it seems that Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan has confirmed in an interview with Famitsu (translated by Siliconera) that the company’s latest console will not be compatible with games designed for the PS3 or older.
According to Ryan, “We keep in mind the engineering specialized for the PS5, as we produced the device. In the midst of that, the PS4 already has 100 million players; we thought they ought to want to play PS4 titles on the PS5 as well indeed, so we included compatibility with the PS4. While implementing that, we also focused our efforts on taking in the high-speed SSD and the new controller DualSense at the same time. So, unfortunately, we couldn’t reach the implementation of such compatibilities.”
This is a bit unfortunate for PS5 gamers hoping to be able to access more games than just those designed for the PS4 and PS5. However, we reckon it’s not too big of a deal since one of the reasons gamers upgrade to newer consoles is to enjoy the new hardware and games optimized for it, but it’s something to take note of anyway.
