A touchscreen is exactly that, a touchscreen.

Force = Mass X Accerleration

Weight = Mass X Gravity Acceleration (9.8 Meters per Second Squared).

The touchscreen knows neither the mass nor the acceleration (Velocity) of any object to determine either Force or Weight.

Please watch the video that Kurtosis12 posted in his reply. Thanks.

Um the screen or the back as they both have to have some sense of pressure or it wouldn’t read our fingers as a hold a press a long press they should both be able to use said force and convert it into some kind of numerical weight system plus iOS 13 and back have it using something called 3D Touch that was replaced my synoptic touch as of recently
