Loser: What’s going on with the Apple Pencil?
Apple announced a raw version of its fantabulous Apple Pencil stylus this week . Not a Pro model , as many expected , or a renewal for one of its two presently usable versions – but a third option .
Upon first glimpse , this oddly namedApple Pencil ( USB - C)looks like a dandy product . it ’s the chintzy Apple Pencil yet , has a build - in USB - C port instead of an nettlesome Lightning connecter and seems a gross burst for theiPad 10Apple premise belatedly last twelvemonth .
When it was launched , this iPad did n’t support the newer Apple Pencil 2 , instead requiring a dodgy arranger to allow it to work with the very first Apple Pencil .
The problem with this Apple Pencil ( USB - C ) is that it just make the whole kitchen range very perplexing , far too perplexing for a trio of stylus . For instance , while it works with any USB - C iPad , it ca n’t file wirelessly – even though it ’ll magnetically bind .
This newfangled Pencil also lacks any form of pressure sensibility , a feature that ’s been present on all premature Apple Pencil models and has been a loyalist of the series . Removing this lineament makes this choice less suitable to drawers , as you wo n’t be able to press down harder for a thicker line . Just a look at the comparison chart from Apple below for an theme of how confusing the cooking stove is .
While a cheaper Apple Pencil makes sensory faculty , I do n’t begrudge someone walking into an Apple Store and trying to work out which one is right-hand for them .
