You should submit an enhancement request bug report to Apple for this device capability requirement. – hotpaw2 Dec 23 '15 at 05:41

There's no way to do this. You would need to add 3d-touch, or something of that nature, to your UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key in your Info.plist. These are the capability keys, according to Apple's Device Compatibility article:
accelerometer
armv6
armv7
auto-focus-camera
bluetooth-le
camera-flash
front-facing-camera
gamekit
gps
gyroscope
healthkit
location-services
magnetometer
metal
microphone
opengles-1
opengles-2
opengles-3
peer-peer
sms
still-camera
telephony
video-camera
wifi
As of now, there isn't a key that would allow you to require 3D Touch. Therefore, there isn't a way to restrict your app to only devices supporting that feature.

hmm would requiring opengles-3 almost limit it to iphone 6 or better? (smaller subset than all phones, still not 6s or better) – ina Dec 22 '15 at 02:46

@ina Unfortunately, no. OpenGL-ES 3 is available back to the iPhone 5S. Just curious, what are you doing that requires force touch to be available? – Undo Dec 22 '15 at 02:47

it's interesting that plist also does not have a require apple pay option either... i guess i could have the app manually display a "Not for you dead screen" by doing device check – ina Dec 22 '15 at 05:14
