iPhone feature to appear in many smartphones next year

Many smartphone manufacturers look set to take inspiration from Apple's 3D Touch display, according to component analysts IHS.

Apparently, Apple struck a chord by equipping the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus with a pressure-sensitive screen. So much so that a quarter of high- and mid-level smartphones shipped next year could feature the technology, according to component analysts IHS.

It does seem likely that the likes of Sony, Samsung, HTC, and LG would want to implement this technology. But could we see it at CES in January or Mobile World Congress in March?
