Amaya Toman The digital Apple Pencil was officially introduced by Apple in 2015. Despite the embarrassed reactions and derision from certain quarters, it found its target audience, but few thought that Apple could get away with the Apple Pencil 2 in the future.
You want a stylus, you just don't know it
In 2007, when Steve Jobs posed the rhetorical question to the audience at the launch of the iPhone: "Who wants a stylus?", the enthusiastic public agreed. There would be few users who would need a stylus for their apple product. A few years later, however, Apple changed its mind, and that was due to considerable media attention, which teased Tim Cook for launching a product that Jobs despised so much. There was even laughter from the audience when Phil Schiller introduced the Apple Pencil live.
Despite the sophistication and undeniable benefits of the Apple Pencil to certain industries, Apple has been criticized for its inconsistency and for selling the stylus separately and at a relatively high price. However, critics forgot that Steve Jobs rejected a stylus as a part of the first iPhone introduced at the time - there was no talk of tablets at that time and no other device was really needed to control an apple smartphone with a multi-touch display.

Filip Brož New iPhone X, new Apple Pencil?
Rosenblatt Securities analyst Jun Zhang recently reported that he believes there is a high probability that Apple is working on a new, improved version of the Apple Pencil. According to his estimation, the new stylus from Apple should be released simultaneously with the 6,5-inch iPhone X, but especially for the iPhone, this is more of a wild speculation. Speculation claims that a larger iPhone X with an OLED display could see the light of day as early as this year, and the Apple Pencil should be designed for use with this particular model. Some people don't believe these speculations, while others wonder why Apple would need to produce its own version of the Galaxy Note.

Beautiful new (apple) machines
But the new Apple Pencil is not the only new Apple device that Jun Zhang predicted. According to him, Apple could also release a low-end version of the HomePod at a price up to half of what the current HomePod costs. According to Zhang, the "HomePod mini" should be a kind of cut-down version of the classic HomePod with a slightly smaller range of functions - but Zhang did not specify them.
Zhang also believes that the company could release the iPhone 8 Plus in (Product)RED. According to Zhang, we will most likely not see the red variant of the iPhone X. "We don't expect a red iPhone X because coloring the metal frame is too much of a challenge," he said.
It's hard to say how much we can rely on Jun Zhang's predictions. He doesn't say what sources he's relying on, and some of his guesses sound wild, to say the least. But the truth is that the Apple Pencil has not been updated since the year it was released.
If iPad Pro, then Apple Pencil
The Apple Pencil is a digital stylus that Apple released together with the iPad Pro in 2015. The Apple Pencil is primarily intended for creative work on the tablet, has pressure sensitivity and the ability to recognize different tilt angles, and offers functions that will come in handy not only for users engaged in from a professional point of view graphics. In a short time, despite its controversy, the Apple Pencil won the hearts of many users.
Do you use Apple Pencil for work or in your free time? And can you imagine controlling an iPhone with its help?

Well, the Apple Pencil is not really a "stylus". That's like saying Tesla is a ladder boy. Anyone who has ever picked it up and tried it knows that this is a completely different league of devices. I bought an iPad Pro just for that, although otherwise the cheapest Air or Mini would be enough for me. And once I have it in my hand, I can control everything on the iPad with it, it's quite nice. But especially writing and drawing, it's such a treat that it has no comparison...
The name "stylus" doesn't necessarily mean a stupid, plastic stick. However, I agree that Apple Pencil + iPad Pro is an absolutely perfect combination for drawing. The only thing that bothered me at first was the smooth surface of the iPad screen. People are used to a gentle resistance, whether they are drawing on paper or a graphics tablet (the iCarez film solved that). I also use a Wacom Cintiq and I have to say for myself that the Apple Pencil feels a little bit further.
From the point of view of graphics and design, they have a comparison... there are better products here, especially for graphics... see. Wacom.
However, the iPad Pro together with the Pencil is, for me, the cheapest alternative for a professional graphics tablet... unfortunately, it doesn't have a professional full operating system and people draw on glass :-/
I've been using iPad Pro with Pencil for more than a year, but I wouldn't call it a Pro product...
I'm seriously wondering how any of the single purpose Wacoms are better than the iPadPro+Pencil combo? I had both in hand and the most expensive Wacom (which is twice as expensive as the iPad) is at most comparable. But even professionals who have been working with it for years usually say that the only thing that bothers them is that their native Photoshop or other desktop application that they are used to does not run on the iPad - but purely technically, ergonomically and qualitatively it is at least comparable, the iPad rather wins (definitely the price). I don't know what is not "professional" or "full" on iOS - and drawing on glass (with the tip that the Pencil has) feels very pleasant and probably more comfortable than after the Wacoma pause...
Really? And why don't professionals in the field use the iPad Pro with a pen? :) grind the coarseness of coarse grain.
As far as quality is concerned (sensitivity in high resolutions, speed of response to sviha's drawing), Wacom really has no competition today. It's enough to ask people from automotive design (not the scumbags who make web pages or scribble on God's luck) and everyone will confirm it. Sketches, low res things with an overview on the iPad, but professional Wacom work.
try to look at Wacom and then at iPad pro - in terms of display, it's heaven and earth. So what you write here is not very objective. It depends on what you use it for. I think the iPad is better for photos. Try Astropad in conjunction with Mack. From my experience, the drivers for Wacom were still not OK. I personally don't allow the iPad to work. I admit that Wacom can be better for something, but not for me.
Wacom drivers have always been hell, even for the most common -
the biggest relief was when native support appeared on the mac and they could be thrown away... It probably depends on what one imagines under the term professional - I probably mean creative people, artists, illustrators, this one for Mr. Krupan above is a povl and the only professionals he considers to be car designers, someone else industrial designers, fashion designers, etc. I can imagine that for some 3D modeling, CADs and similar technical things, the iPad may not be better, mainly due to the lack of native support for special applications, etc. But with the technical ones I don't really understand the parameters - in terms of resolution, the iPad has a higher resolution than, for example, Wacom MobileStudio, the latency is practically zero, so I'm really interested in what you mean by the display...
Pixydyote, if you were designing the layout of the school in Kamenné Žehrovice on an iPad Pro with a Pencil, I'm not surprised that it turned out like this... :) ... say hello to the engineer's wife :) and don't you run into a pitchfork again like with doc. Ing. Jiří Novák, PhD from FSv CTU on FB. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6cebd997bb40bea112106c935800abdbb0151fac69463f0338dc27889afa3192.png
What kind of nonsense is this person talking about? :-O
Is it really necessary to attack and insult so aggressively? I know quite a few professionals who are currently using the iPad Pro with pen. It is clear that it has a lot of inertia, on the one hand, changing the style of work, on the other hand, when you already have a device for $3k, you don't want to just change it. But people who choose a new device quite often reach for iPads instead of Wacoms.
Professionally, I use iPad Pro + Pencil absolutely flawlessly. For example, Colie Wertz (LucasArt) or Susan Martaugh. iPad has no competition for sketching. However, for everything else, Wacom is still the best solution. I currently use an iPad Pro, a Wacom Mobile Studio Pro, and an iMac with a Wacom Intuos.
Do you use a "keyboard" for handwriting recognition? Which one?
