samsung devices break if you put the stylus in backwards. apple has revolutionized destroying your expensive toys and made them certain to break under normal use.

I watched video tbf that iPad xxl does look good with the pencil: it's just a shame it won't save synialin refugees or child poverty and will likely contribute to the high levels of child porn circulation the Internet. "drawn with apple." all the latest child anime will have. gross

some shitlord did a hackjob perspective skew on it, that doesn't change the fact the you have to plug your iCil into the ipad and there is no other way to charge it except with some hypothetical third party accessory cable

need to charge yer pad and pencil at the same time? gently caress off mush, ya can't

no doubt, but this is just getting lazy. that poo poo's like some first year design student's industrial design concept render, except it's real, it's going to production like that, and it's made by loving apple of all companies

wtf ives?

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

why does it need power at all

why is the only way to charge it to have it stick straight out from the ipad in perfect position to get snapped off so you're out the cost of the pencil and ipad

why does it exist at all

its because the ipad doesnt have a digitizer to detect/inductively power a stylus.

But if it's for the new model iPad Pro, why didn't they build in a digitizer? :confused:

dunno maybe it comes with a female–female plug in the box or maybe theyll have a little dock accessory

its for people that like drawing on their ipad but want something better than cheapo styli without pressure sensitivity

i wish i could get one for my mini but it's an accessory for the pro only :(

maybe they'll add the required sensors to normal ipads and minis in the next few revisions

the way they did the charging makes sense in the "we painted ourselves into a corner with dumb prerequisites" way

like they probably went "You have to be able to charge it anywhere, anytime if you have the tablet" which now means you cant rely on the regular charging cable + having a lightning socket under the cap
and they didnt do a pen silo that could have had a charger
or a recess that could have had pins
or a magnet spot with inductor...
