Are you going to sit down for your iPad and brainstorm on the next brilliant idea, but notice that Apple Pencil stopped working. There are several possible reasons why your Apple Pencil is not working. Below are a few troubleshooting ideas to get your Apple Pencil back in working order.
Check battery
Is your Apple Pencil not charging? Could the battery on your Apple Pencil be dead? To check if your pencil is charged, follow these steps:
1. Check the view widget on the iPad and look at the battery status. Widgets can be found in the " Today". To get there, swipe right from home screen, lock screen or while you are looking at your notifications.
2. You should see the widget " Batteries". If not, make sure you have it enabled pencil setting with Bluetooth.
3. If the battery shows 0%, plug it in, recharge and try again.
Bluetooth off
As mentioned in Checking the Battery, if your Apple Pencil doesn't show up in the list of devices under battery widgets, or if there's no battery widget at all, Bluetooth is most likely disabled. To check this, follow these steps:
1. On an iPad, tap " Settings».
2. Tap Bluetooth.
3. Touch the switch to turn on Bluetooth.
4. If you can't get it to turn on, or you see the rotate/load icon, restart your iPad and then try again.
Note: This is also a great way to troubleshoot Bluetooth issues.
5. That's it.
Bluetooth not connected
If your Apple Pencil won't pair, or your iPad hasn't lost pairing, retrying the Bluetooth pairing process may fix your Apple Pencil issues.
1. Make sure iPad is turned on, unlocked and Bluetooth is turned on.
2. If you see your Apple Pencil, you may need to re-pair.
3. Click "Apple Pencil", then select " forget this device».
4. Release your Apple Pencil and plug it into your iPad's lightning port.
5. Bluetooth request Pairing a dialog box should appear. Click " Create a couple” to start the pairing process.
6. If the dialog box at the top does not appear, continue looking for additional issues.
Worn out pencil tip
If your Apple Pencil is behaving erratically or not working at all, the tip of the pencil may be worn out. Tip replacement is easy.
Note: Although the pencil tip does not have an exact wear time, many wearers replace it when the feel, finish, or functionality begins to decline. If the finish or feel is rough or sandpaper, you should replace the pencil tip as it may scratch the surface of your iPad.
1. Unscrew the tip in a counterclockwise direction until it stops.
2. Replace the old tip with the new one by screwing the tip clockwise until it feels secure in your pencil.
The app does not support Apple Pencil
Not all applications fully support Pencil. To make sure your Apple Pencil works, open a known supported app. The Notes app is a solid and great choice for testing your pencil and should be on your home screen. If it is not, you will need to download and reinstall it.
iPad model not supported
If your Apple Pencil is still not working, make sure your iPad supports it. Apple Pencil works with the 2018 9.7-inch iPad and all . If your iPad is not one of these models, your iPad does not support the Apple Pencil and will not work.
Contact time with AppleCare
If you've followed all the troubleshooting steps above, it might be time to contact AppleCare; Apple Pencil has a one-year limited warranty. If your Pencil is no longer covered under warranty, Apple charges $29 for the battery. You can either buy one from your local store or call AppleCare on the phone. You can also visit the Apple website for a repair or replacement.
I decided to review the Apple Pencil separately from the iPad Pro, since there is something to tell and show about this iGadget. At the same time, the Apple Pencil is not some kind of serious gadget, it's just an accessory to the iPad Pro. But how to look at it. The Apple Watch is also considered an accessory, but the watch performs far fewer useful functions with the iPhone than the iPencil with the tablet. What are the main questions we are interested in regarding the new device:
Overview and specifications of Apple Pencil
Apple Pencil is the drawing pencil for iPad Pro. This is a stylus with a built-in mechanism by which the Apple Pencil works. The mechanism is located at the end of the pencil and reads touches with great accuracy and minimal delay. This is because the built-in mechanism reads the signal at a frequency of 240 times per second and the display captures twice as many dots as when touched by a finger. In the stylus market, Apple Pencil for iPad Pro is the best solution today. With it, you can draw with various lines quickly and easily. The Apple Pencil was specifically designed to be able to draw and write normally on the iPad Pro. The pencil is equipped with a Bluetooth 4.1 module through which it is synchronized with the iPad Pro.
How long does an Apple Pencil hold a charge?
The battery of the Apple Pencil lasts a long time and charges quickly, so there are no problems with autonomy. Apple Pencil lasts 12 hours on a full charge while in use. And if it is discharged and urgently needed, then in 15 seconds you can charge it for half an hour of work.
You need to charge the Apple Pencil through the Lightning connector, which is located on the back under the cap. You need to insert it into the iPad Pro, which in turn can charge devices connected via Lightning. Not just the Apple Pencil. Moreover, even if you have an iPad Pro in a silicone case, the Apple Pencil will easily fit in, because its connector is elongated and can crawl deeper.
How to find out the charge of iPad Pro?
The fact that the Apple Pencil charges quickly and lasts for a long time is all very well. But how to find out how much the stylus is charged, now you will find out.
iPad Pro can see the battery charge of Apple Pencil if it is connected to iPad Pro via bluetooth. To do this, you need to activate the widget, which allows you to see the battery level of the pencil in the curtain (notification center). We call the curtain, tap on “Edit” under the calendar and select the “Batteries” widget. After that, you will be able to observe the Apple Pencil charge level at this place.
You can connect your iPhone, Apple Watch to iPad Pro and also see what battery level these devices have. It is noteworthy that the widget for viewing the charge level of connected devices via bluetooth can be called up not only on the iPad but also on the iPhone.
Apple Pencil compatibility with other tablets
Can an Apple Pencil be used with an iPad Mini or iPad Air? Will the Apple Pencil work with the iPhone? The main question that torments today many consumers of Apple products. Apple Pencil only works with iPad Pro. Air, Mini, iPhone, android devices do not support Apple Pencil. This is because the Apple Pencil interacts with the screen of the iPad Pro, i.e. in other words, this iPad Pro supports Apple Pencil. Other devices are not.
Apple Pencil price
This tricky stylus is worth a lot - $ 100. Well, I rounded it up, in Apple, as always, all prices end in 9. The price of Apple Pencil in the USA is $99, and in Russia - 7790 rubles. In Ukraine, Apple Pencil costs about three thousand hryvnia, which is unthinkable for some kind of stylus. Although, as Apple assures us, this is not just some kind of stylus, but a full-fledged gadget.
You can buy an Apple Pencil stylus on the official Apple website or in stores that sell Apple technology. Apple Pencil pricing varies by country. Somewhere more expensive, somewhere cheaper. For Americans, 100 bucks is not very expensive, but for us the same 100 bucks at today's rate is 25 UAH for 1 dollar, this is not an imaginable price at all! For 2500-3000 UAH you can buy a used iPhone 4 or iPad 2.
How to draw with Apple Pencil
Instructions on how to use, draw, write Apple Pencil for beginners.
In principle, everything is extremely simple. You need to remember the main points and that's it. The Apple Pencil for iPad Pro is both pressure and tilt sensitive. Well, then, act as your imagination pleases. If you want to make the line thicker, then just press harder with the stylus on the screen and you will have a bold line. If you want a thinner line, then press easier. If you need to make a line with fading, tilt the Apple Pencil a little and you get the effect of a real pencil.
Maintainability of the Apple Pencil
The guys at iFixit took apart an Apple Pencil to see how repairable the pencil is. Well, at the same time we will see the structure of the Apple Pencil. The cap that covers the lightning connector on the pencil is held on by a magnet, so it can be easily lost. Be careful if you buy. Removable tip. Apple included another one in the kit, so if anything, you can easily replace it manually. He spins out.
In general, the Apple Pencil is not repairable. Getting to the insides to repair something is not realistic without mechanical damage. I'll have to cut the pencil and take it all out. The battery is also not easy to replace. So you work with your Apple Pencil until your battery dies. Well, she won't die soon. But after 3 years, the Apple Pencil will run out of battery faster than a new one. Therefore, the only solution is to bury it in the yard and buy a new one.
I was most impressed with the board built into the Apple Pencil. It weighs only 1 gram - it's amazing! There are so many things placed there and it all works clearly - this is progress!
Introducing Apple Pencil
Video: General introduction to the Apple Pencil. Original video voiced by Johnny Quince.
With its use, iOS beginners may have difficulty connecting and charging. About, how to connect Apple Pencil to iPad Pro and charge it using tablet or charging cable, we will tell you below.
In contact with
Connecting a stylus to iPad Pro is easy. First, Bluetooth must be enabled in the tablet settings. To do this, open the Settings application, select the Bluetooth section and activate the corresponding switch.
Next, you need to remove the cap with the aluminum strip from the Apple Pencil. Hide it carefully so you don't lose it (this happens very often). Under the cap is a Lightning connector, which must be inserted into the appropriate connector on the tablet.
You will be prompted to create a pair on the screen. Confirm the request.
You can check if your Apple Pencil is ready for use in the " Settings". To do this, just go to the section Bluetooth and see if there is an accessory with the value " Connected«.
Each time you turn off Bluetooth, the stylus needs to be reconnected. The connection is restored instantly. Just connect your Apple Pencil to your iPad Pro and you're up and running in seconds.
How to charge your Apple Pencil
Inside the Apple Pencil is a built-in rechargeable battery. If the stylus starts to work intermittently, it means that it's time to recharge the battery. Fortunately, the charging process is very fast. There are two ways to charge your Apple Pencil.
First way involves connecting the stylus directly to the tablet via the Lightning connector. According to Apple, 15 seconds is enough to provide half an hour of work for the Apple Pencil, and a few minutes of charging will allow you to use it for several hours.
Checking the accessory's charge level is very simple - you need to connect it to the tablet and bring up the "Today" screen (in the Notification Center) by swiping the screen from top to bottom. A widget will appear in the Widgets section showing the battery level of your iPad Pro and Apple Pencil.
Second way is to use the miniature Lightning-to-Lightning adapter that comes with the stylus. The adapter is often lost, so when not in use, it is best to connect it to the cable.
To charge your Apple Pencil, you need to use the adapter to connect it to a cable, which in turn connects to a computer via a USB port, an AC adapter, a removable battery, or a USB car charger. True, this method of charging will take longer than the first.
Personal experience after 48 hours of operation.
What we have been waiting for so long has come true. Apple released the iPad Pro, we wrote, and two weeks later the guys from Onlyphones.ru offered to plunge into the world of fine art and test all the possibilities of the Apple Pencil stylus.
What is iPencil capable of, is the game worth the candle, and how does the owner of the iPad Pro live, in whose hands the Apple Pencil fell into? Let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the stylus.
Reason #1: no delays
For people who use the computer as a professional tool, the worst enemy of all time remains delay. The sound engineer struggles to minimize the time it takes to convert audio from analog to digital; designer - wins back precious milliseconds by drawing another stroke on a graphics tablet. Apple Pencil is devoid of such shortcomings.
As soon as you touch the iPad Pro's huge screen with the tip of the stylus, it instantly responds to your touch. The lines are clear and even, and the artist has the feeling that they are drawing on a slate board or a piece of parchment. Response speed this accessory has the highest praise, and the signal reading frequency reaches 240 times per second.
Reason #2: Very sensitive
Despite its small size, comparable to the size of a regular ballpoint pen, Apple Pencil is packed with all sorts of sensors to ensure its smooth and trouble-free operation. The stylus distinguishes not only pressing force(up to 2048 degrees), but also the tilt angle.
By setting a slight slope, you can quickly shade a section of the drawing, as if working with a regular pencil.
Reason #3: Long lasting
Inside the Apple Pencil is a miniature battery that has a capacity of only 80 mAh Despite such a small size, after a full charge, the stylus is ready to use. 12 o'clock continuous work.
What's more, the universal charger for Apple Pencil is always at hand. The gadget is equipped with a traditional Lightning-port, and a simple connection to the corresponding port of the iPad Pro for just 15 seconds will give the stylus 30 minutes of work. Full charge time is about 50 minutes.
For charging via a regular network, a miniature adapter is provided: an Apple Pencil is inserted on one side, and a Lightning cable on the other.
Reason #4: The palm is not the enemy
Even an experienced artist knows what is fraught with touching with a palm to a drawing that has just been drawn with a slate or charcoal pencil. This is the case when the hands that created the drawing can also spoil it. Apple has foreseen this as well.
Despite the fact that according to all the "laws of the genre" of the capacitive screen technology, it should respond to the touch of a human hand, working with the Apple Pencil you can touch the screen with the edge of your palm, leaning on the tablet screen as if on a regular sheet of paper. The tablet from this action will not go berserk, and the clarity of the stylus will not deteriorate at all.
Reason #5: Works through "obstacles"
Another curious feature of the Apple Pencil is the ability to work through a sheet of paper. Suppose you want to draw as accurately as possible a fragment of the original drawing printed on paper.
To do this, just attach the sheet to the iPad Pro screen and circle all the required contours. The tablet counts all stylus touches despite the fact that there is an impromptu obstacle between the screen and the pen tip - a sheet of paper.
Reason #6: Instead of a finger
The main purpose of the Apple Pencil is drawing. However, the stylus is compatible with just about everything you would normally do when touching the tablet with your fingers.
Opening links, launching applications, scrolling, interacting with menu items, typing (support for third-party keyboards and keyboards that allow handwriting) - Apple Pencil can do it all. Among the limitations of the accessory is the inability to open the Notification Center, Control Center, switch to Slide Over or Split View. Most likely, this limitation is purely software in nature, but "Apple decided so."
Reason #7: App Support
To implement a really good product, the ingenuity of engineers and the bright look of a designer are not enough. Need software support. The number of apps compatible with the Apple Pencil is growing exponentially.
Today, Apple's stylus is compatible with: Pixelmator, Adobe Comp CC, Paper, Adobe Phoroshop Mix, Adobe Photoshop Fix, AutoCAD 360, Autodesk SketchBook, Evernote, Adobe Illustrator Draw, Canva and a number of other applications. The inclusion of stylus support by developers allows not only to optimize the interaction of the accessory with the interface, but also enable support for iOS features such as Split View.
A little sad
Ask any marketer and he will confidently answer that there is no “perfect product”. The Apple Pencil is no exception, and the list of disadvantages of the "Apple Pencil" looks something like this:
- The stylus is only and only compatible with the iPad Pro. It will not work with other devices, including Apple products.
- Unavailable multitasking. Apple Pencil does not allow you to switch to Split View and Slide Over modes - the main innovations of iOS 9. You can only do this with your finger.
- No eraser. Users familiar with alternative styluses that work with capacitive screens, one of the advantages of this category of products include the presence of an eraser. Touched the screen with the other end of the stylus - activated the eraser mode. The Apple Pencil does not have this feature.
- Apple Pencil does not support multi-touch gestures. However, no stylus can do this.
A skeptical user will surely classify the next Apple development as “expensive and unnecessary toys.” A professional designer or artist, being a creative person, will think about purchasing an Apple Pencil, because the desire to experiment is the main engine of creativity. The Apple aficionado and user who has been waiting for the "big iPad" will pick up the stylus without hesitation.
Where to buy an Apple Pencil? We suggest stopping at the Onlyphones.ru online store. First, it is in stock today; secondly, among the impressive assortment of accessories for Apple devices, you will definitely want to buy “something else”.
For some reason, many considered that one of the key features of the iPad Pro is the presence of a stylus, which they called the Apple Pencil, although the company strongly emphasizes that this is not a stylus at all, but something else, for example, a pencil, as the name implies. The reason for the dislike for the word "stylus" is understandable. Apple founder Steve Jobs argued that all control on the company's touch devices would be done by hand, and the stylus was a relic of the past. Steve Jobs is no more, which means that the current executives of the company can release whatever they want, which is what they do. Nevertheless, you still have to give explanations for your brilliant discoveries, otherwise the crowd of fans remains at a loss and does not know what to tell others about the next great invention. Jonathan Ive, who hasn't come up with anything interesting or worthwhile in the past few years, in an interview with Wallpaper Magazine explained why and how the idea of the pencil came about, here is his direct speech: “We realized that there is a clearly defined group of people that can appreciate a tool that will allow them to draw or draw, but not in the way they draw with their fingers. And I suspect it's a large group of people."
Almost five years after the release of the first Note, the launch of this line from Samsung, and its rise in popularity, Apple suddenly saw that there was a niche in the market for those who love to draw. And we decided to make our own product. There was no need to invent anything, since all kinds of styluses for Apple tablets were produced by many companies, but they all suffered from one drawback, these were stick-pokes, while other manufacturers created full-fledged input devices that respond to pressure, pen tilt, and others "little things". In particular, these devices include all styluses from Samsung, as well as a pen for Microsoft Surface, which is part of the standard package in the latest versions of tablets. Once again, Apple is entering the market with its solution, where there are already analogues that have come a long way in several generations. If Apple had not ignored other people's experience, they could have created their own “pencil” completely different, and it would have been much more useful for iPad tablet users, but everything turned out differently, the story developed as usual.
To begin with, the Apple Pencil is an optional accessory, sold separately from the iPad Pro and positioned as an optional part of the tablet. This accessory is not intended for everyone, and the fact that it receives so much attention is solely due to the successful PR efforts of the company. Every day there are more revelations from designers, user interface developers, and those who design cars, airplanes and ships, in which these people admit that before they had no life, and with the advent of the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, they first got the opportunity work fully, and not the way they did before. Of course, there are adequate reviews in this PR hubbub, but often they are drowned in the enthusiasm of those who have never worked with a stylus and for whom the Apple Pencil is the first such experience.
The price of the Apple Pencil in the US is $99 excluding taxes, in Russia - 7,790 rubles, which makes this pencil, if not gold, then close to it. On the other hand, professional styluses from Wacom are not cheap, but they are a completely different class of products, and their consumers know exactly what they are paying for. This is not a mass toy for bored people who want to portray something on the tablet screen. I doubt that professionals in graphics, design and the like will start using the Apple Pencil en masse, it all comes down to force of habit, but the main thing is the software that will be available to work with the pen. And so far everything is very sad with the software, but more on that later.
So, we take out the Pencil from the box, open the cap on the upper end and see the Lightning connector. The box shows how it should be inserted into the tablet to recharge.
Forgive me, but this is pornography in the literal and figurative sense. Apple engineers lost all their skills, as they created a visually ugly, bad and unreliable solution, in this position it is not difficult to break off the connector. And they sincerely warn about this! Caring curvy Apple Pencil creators who quickly realized that their solution was not very good, and therefore added an adapter to charge the pencil from a computer or from the network. This is a small adapter, on the one hand we stick the usual charging from the iPhone / iPad, on the other hand - the pencil itself. Adapter! For the stylus! If Steve Jobs were alive, he would have had a very sharp conversation with Jonathan Ive, after which the latter would rush to fix and redo everything.
I did not dare to post a photo of what it looks like in a state of charging, I was afraid that we would be closed for pornography, so look at this moment in the video, everything is shown there. But I can say one thing, Apple engineers exceeded my worst assumptions, they made a pencil in the worst possible way. The same stylus on MS Surface doesn't need to be charged and works great with built-in software. But more on that later.
Apple's pencil is glossy, and if you have wet hands, it starts to slip. No rough surfaces, a creative tool should be smooth and sliding, both on the surface and in the hands of a person. Speaking seriously, it seems that it is not for nothing that the majority of those who produce styluses do not make them smooth, but prefer a rough body. Let's guess why. Apparently, they put the ergonomics of the device higher than its appearance, but Apple does exactly the opposite.
In terms of ergonomics, the Apple Pencil has another drawback - it doesn't have a mount on the iPad case. It is magnetized from the bottom side, but the force of attraction is not enough, so it will not work to wear it. It will have to be worn somewhere else, but not with the device. This is stupid? In my opinion, this is damn stupid and short-sighted, and most importantly, inconvenient. But one can deny quite obvious things and say that this is correct and the only way it is necessary.
Now about good and pleasant. Apple Pencil works only with iPad Pro, it will not work with other tablets. The reason is that the company slightly changed the screen technology to support such a stylus. Whether it will be supported in other products, I do not know, but it is justified only on large diagonals, on the same iPad Mini, there is little sense in a pencil.
We insert the charging pencil, and right there the iPad Pro prompts us to synchronize the device via Bluetooth, connect it. We agree. In notifications, you can find a widget that shows the charge level of the Apple Pencil. The company claims that a fully charged pencil will last about 12 hours, 15 seconds can get a runtime of 30 minutes. A full charge of the Apple Pencil from the iPad will take about 45-50 minutes. In principle, this is a small problem, it will not be difficult to charge this stylus from time to time. When the battery level is low, a warning will appear.
There is a reverse side of the coin, which no one thinks about and pays no attention to. When using an Apple Pencil, the power consumption of iPad Pro increases. For half an hour of work on the screen, the battery loses 7-8 percent of its charge. For comparison, watching a movie at maximum brightness eats up 10% per hour. Feel the difference and difference.
Software - all familiar names
Apple's stylus understands up to 2048 degrees of pressure, as well as horizontal deviation. This means that by clicking on it, you can make lines thicker, and by tilting the pencil, you can get hatching. And in this way it resembles an ordinary pencil, which is very good.
But now is the time to talk about what programs and how they support working with the Apple Pencil. With it, you can move around the screen, select icons. And there are no problems, everything works. Another thing is that creativity requires programs that can work with the Apple Pencil, and there are already more than a dozen such programs. For example, in standard notes you can write by hand, but your text is not recognized, there is simply no such feature in iOS9. This is the first disappointment, no handwriting and typing so this pencil is for creativity and not for boring freehand notes.
I tried a dozen programs that the App Store recommended for a pencil, most of them already had support for styluses, so the appearance of the Apple Pencil was not unexpected. For example, in Evernote you can enter notes by hand for a long time, on the iPad you could draw with your finger, as, however, you can do it now. Approximately the same in each of the programs, the Apple Pencil does not give any special accuracy, you draw exactly the same as you drew before, with the same programs or similar input devices.
I did a little experiment and asked my colleague, who is fond of drawing, to try out the device and express his opinion. She enthusiastically began to draw from a photograph taken on one of her trips, but very quickly put down her Apple Pencil and said the following: “I don’t really need it, here you can draw all this with your hands in the program, some parts are probably more difficult than usual, but not fundamentally more difficult.” After chatting on this topic, I realized a simple thing: to draw, you don’t need a miracle device, you just need a desire, and the choice of a tool is secondary. The surface of the device cannot replace paper, its quality and other sensations, because it is not only the pencil, brush or paints that are important, it is important how they interact with the paper and what result you get. In theory, it would be possible to emulate paper in software, but no one has done this yet.
All the software that I have tried can be used with any stylus, Apple's device is extremely simple and does not have any special functions. Moreover, there is no integration into the operating system. And this puts an end to the most popular use cases that have opened up on the Note line in almost five years of its existence. For example, people often cut something out of pictures and send it by mail, add annotations to such pictures. And on the same Note, this can be done in a matter of seconds, there is an option “write on the screen”, you instantly get a screenshot that you already decorate to the best of your ability. And you can cut out a piece of the picture and at the same time recognize the text on it, send both the picture and the text from it, and in any language. But this is already such a high class that I won’t even talk about it, since Apple in this case looks like a poor relative. The key advantage of Note is the deep integration of the stylus into everything you can do on the device. It was created not only and not so much for those who draw, but for everyone who wants to get new opportunities, and the device provides these opportunities to the fullest. Perhaps they are not always needed, but sometimes they are necessary and very useful.
What about stylus integration on MS Surface? Exactly the same story, in Microsoft, oddly enough, they understand that the stylus itself is not important, it is necessary to integrate it into the system, for example, give the opportunity to launch OneNote with one click, enter handwritten text or drawings, recognize all this. If necessary, erase without resorting to additional movements and by pressing the button on the stylus. And on the same Surface Pro 4, the stylus is magnetically attached to the body, it can be worn with the device. It turns out that the engineers at Microsoft are much better than at Apple, where they could not implement the simplest function, although they themselves came up with a lot of chips with magnets in the days of Steve Jobs.
Also a slightly different level of software and binding the stylus to the system. And why is this so? Probably, the answer lies in what people think, why and why they do it, to whom it may be important. They are working on use cases. At Apple, they don’t do this, but rest on their laurels. In fact, by copying other people's products, Apple does not bring anything to them, and the implementation from an engineering point of view is the worst possible. Why is that? We relaxed, there is no owner inside the company who would monitor how everything should work.
It's interesting how, with the release of the Apple Pencil, a lot of "world's leading publications" discovered this topic and began to write about it. And it doesn't matter that dozens of styluses existed before, and the software initially supported them, including on the iPad. It does not matter that the only advantage of the Apple Pencil in the small market of styluses is the name of the manufacturer, and nothing else. The main thing is that the company was able to create a myth that it releases successful products that millions need from time to time. And it doesn’t matter at all that the same watch didn’t take off and Apple doesn’t say anything about them in terms of real numbers. Never mind that the iPad Pro is a very niche device with an idea that was stolen from Samsung and Microsoft, a little bit of each. And it's not so important that no one thought to collect a hundred dollars for a stylus. On the other hand, you have to pay for stupidity. Apple thinks stupidity is worth $100. And this is the right price.
As a side note, here is a review of our UI/UX design reader about the Apple Pencil.
This accessory, like a drop of water, reflects where the company is going and how its helmsmen have relaxed and rested on their laurels. This is not the best product that Apple has released, however, over the past couple of years, it’s hard for me to name something that would attract attention. Copying other people's ideas, their poor implementation, but for now Apple can afford it. That's just the credibility - a rather fragile thing, it may disappear.
We thank the company UP-house.ru for the pencil provided by Apple.
