In the Hey Siri event, Apple's taking a pretty bold step by
introducing the iPad Pro, a wide tablet with 12.9 inch screen that's designed
to meet the needs of professionals. Great and mighty, that's a brief
description of the iPad Pro.
During this time indeed iPad is quite popular among the
artists. Naturally, iPad is ideal for drawing, because basically this device is
a digital canvas. Now the canvas size is getting bigger with the presence of
iPad Pro, but there is still one thing that hasn't been met, a tool that can be
more precise for drawing rather than using a finger.
The good news is the iPad Pro comes with an accessory called
Apple Pencil, a stylus that's designed specifically for this tablet device.
This is the first time Apple introduces a stylus since the original iPhone was
launched in 2007.
But along with the time, there are many electronic
manufacturers that create stylus with their own versions. Apple itself is quite
proud to call its stylus as a Pencil, and claiming that Apple Pencil is more
responsive than other stylus on the market. Simply put, when you draw or write
using Apple Pencil, there's almost no delay between your scratches and the
images on the screen.
Apple Pencil has a pointed end which will provide a high
degree of precision. It is also sensitive, so you can make a thicker line by
providing enough pressure, you also can tilt the ends to begin the shading
process with ease.
Apple Pencil relies on Bluetooth connectivity to enable all
of the features, such as the pressure sensitivity. The battery can last up to
12 hours of usage. Behind the magnet cover at the back end, there is Lightning
connector to plug into the iPad Pro, to borrow the power from the big tablet.
Remarkably, Apple claims that charging for 15 seconds will provide enough power
for 30 minutes of usage.
Apple Pencil will be marketed starting in November, of
course, in conjunction with the iPad Pro itself. Apple doesn't provide specific
bundle; consumers can get it separately for $ 99.
