by Apple Pencil Pro Unveiled
This week, Apple introduced the Apple Pencil Pro, a significant upgrade from the Apple Pencil 2 launched in 2018. The new model features groundbreaking enhancements that redefine how users interact with their iPads.
Innovative Gestures and Enhanced Control
Squeeze Gesture
The Apple Pencil Pro introduces a “squeeze” gesture, a first in stylus technology. By applying pressure to the sides of the Apple Pencil Pro, users can activate a palette to swiftly switch between tools, adjust line weights, and change colors. This feature promises to streamline workflow and boost productivity.
Custom App Responses
Developers have the opportunity to integrate the squeeze gesture into their apps, offering custom controls tailored to enhance user experience within specific applications.
Barrel Roll Feature
Equipped with a gyroscope, the Apple Pencil Pro allows users to rotate the barrel to adjust the orientation of tools. This mimics the precision of traditional pen and brush usage, offering artists and designers a more intuitive drawing experience.
Tactile Feedback for an Immersive Experience
Haptic Feedback
The Apple Pencil Pro comes with an integrated haptic engine, providing users with immediate tactile feedback during use. This feature enhances interactions such as squeezing, double-tapping, and snapping to Smart Shapes, making the stylus feel more responsive and natural.
Enhanced Connectivity and Features
Find My Integration
With the integration of Find My, users can now track their Apple Pencil Pro alongside their iPad and other Apple devices, ensuring it never gets lost.
Effortless Charging and Pairing
The Apple Pencil Pro magnetically attaches to the side of compatible iPad models, such as the iPad Pro and iPad Air, facilitating automatic pairing and charging. This seamless connectivity is supported by a new magnetic interface found in the latest 2024 iPad Pro models.
Consistent and Expanded Compatibility
Supported Devices
The Apple Pencil Pro is compatible with M2 iPad Air models and M4 iPad Pro models, aligning with Apple’s latest hardware releases as of May 2024.
Pricing
Despite its advanced features, the Apple Pencil Pro is priced at ₹11,900, matching the cost of the previous Apple Pencil 2. This positions it as an attractive option for both new buyers and those considering an upgrade.
The Apple Pencil Pro not only enhances the functionality of compatible iPads but also sets a new standard for what users can expect from interactive stylus technology. Whether for professional artistry, design, or everyday use, the Apple Pencil Pro offers capabilities that promise to transform the iPad experience.
