Kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, iApple yafaka ilungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza kwibhodi yezitshixo kunye ne-Force Touch okanye i-3D Touch. Ilungelo elilodwa lomenzi ngokukodwa thaca ngoSeptemba 28, 2012 "Ikhibhodi yokuhamba ephantsi ye-Ultra" kwaye inikwe namhlanje.
Ipatent echaziweyo ibonisa ikhibhodi enenzwa nganye yezitshixo ezilinganisa amandla afakiweyo kwisitshixo xa umsebenzisi ecinezela okanye ebeka umnwe kwisitshixo. Oku kungasebenza sebenzisa izikhombisi Ulwazi lokubonisa iingcebiso kumsebenzisi okanye ukufumana ingxelo ngendlela umsebenzisi ayisebenzisa ngayo ikhibhodi.
Ukusuka kwinto endinokuyiqonda kwinto echazwe kwilungelo lobunikazi, kuxhomekeke kuxinzelelo olunikiweyo Kwiqhosha, isicelo phantsi kocingo lwesoftware sinako «ukucazulula» uxinzelelo enkosi kumlinganiso owenziwe ngumenzi woluvo ukwenza enye okanye enye isenzo, oko kukuthi, umzekelo kumqhubekekisi wegama ukuba sicinezela naliphi na lamaqhosha Ukubonisa ukuba loo leta ibhalwe ngoonobumba abakhulu ngaphandle kokusebenzisa isitshixo sokutshintsha kwangaxeshanye sicinezela isitshixo
Ngale sensor ingezantsi kwezitshixo, ikhibhodi ifezekiswa ngokuhamba nge-«ultra-short», Oko kukuthi, amaqhosha awayi kucinezelwa ngohambo oluqhelekileyo, kodwa ingangaphantsi kakhuluOku kungenxa yokuba kwibhodi yezitshixo eqhelekileyo kufuneka sibe nohambo olukhulu ukuze sicinezele iswitshi okanye isixhobo esidityanisiweyo kunxibelelwano ukuze inkqubo ibhalise isitshixo. Kungenxa yokuba amandla azivavanya angabhalisa utshintsho oluncinci ngokuthe kratya.
Khumbula ukuba iApple isandula ukwazisa indlela entsha kwiibhodi zakho zebhodi yezitshixo ngomatshini webhabhathane endaweni yesikere sendabuko, esenza ukuba ukuhamba kungabikho, kunciphisa iprofayile yebhodi yezitshixo ukwazi ukuyidibanisa nezixhobo eziphathwayo ngokuya uncipha. Inyathelo elilandelayo iya kuba kukudibanisa obu buchwephesha kwezi keyboard.
