| The Apple Pencil is a digital pen that works as an input device for iPad Pro. The Apple Pencil features pressure sensitivity and angle detection. Encased in a plastic housing is a Bluetooth device that can communicate simultaneously with the screen and the system underneath it. The Pencil can detect force, allowing, for example, darker or lighter strokes in a drawing app depending on how hard the user presses. The Apple Pencil was designed for low latency to enable smooth inking on the screen. The iPad Pro also allows simultaneous use of an Apple Pencil and one’s fingers, while rejecting input from the user’s palm. One end of the Apple Pencil has a magnetic removable cap. Underneath this cap is a Lightning connector, which allows the Pencil’s battery to be recharged via the iPad Pro’s Lightning port itself. The initial charge lasts about 12 hours, but 15 seconds plugged into the Lightning connector of the iPad Pro gets the user back to work for another half hour. The user can also use the included Lightning-to-Lightning adapter to charge via a standard Lightning cable instead. |
