Apple recently unveiled the new Apple Pencil Pro alongside the powerful iPad Pro with the M4 chip. This next-generation stylus boasts a range of innovative features designed to enhance the creative experience for artists, designers, and note-takers alike.

Intuitive Control with a Squeeze

The Apple Pencil Pro introduces a new pressure-sensitive area on its barrel. By squeezing the Pencil, users can activate a customizable tool palette, allowing them to quickly switch between brushes, adjust line weight, and change colors – all without interrupting their workflow. A subtle haptic response confirms the selection, adding a layer of intuitive feedback.

Precision through Barrel Rotation

The Apple Pencil Pro integrates a gyroscope, enabling users to rotate the barrel for precise control. This allows for natural adjustments to the orientation of brush and pen tools, mimicking the way traditional art tools work on paper.

Visualize Your Mark with Hover

Building on the existing hover functionality, the Apple Pencil Pro lets you see a preview of the exact mark you'll make on the screen before actually touching it. This helps with precise placement and finer details in your creative work.

'Find My' Integration for Peace of Mind

For the first time ever, the Apple Pencil Pro integrates with the Find My app. This means you can locate your stylus if you ever misplace it, offering peace of mind for creatives who rely on this tool.
