iPad gains incredible functionality for Apple Pencil, but it will be limited to iPad Pro with M2 chip.
The Cupertinos they work hard and yesterday released a series of updates, including iPadOS 16.4. In addition to improving the performance of iPads and other devices, one accessory that receives a major benefit is the Apple Pencil. According to an Apple executive, the Apple Pencil is getting better, but only if you have an iPad Pro with M2. In case you haven’t seen it, these are new in iOS 16.4.
Small detail of the Apple Pencil with an iPad Pro M2
Over the years, Apple has restricted many experiences and new features to its latest devices. The example below explains it perfectly. In an interview with TechCruch, the rookie experience directorLeslie Ikemoto, reported that there is an improvement to the scrolling function when using the Apple Pencil.
The 11-inch iPad Pro features an M2 chip with an 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU
How is the experience improving? iPad knows exactly where the pen tip is on the surface. This is possible thanks to the technology behind the M2 chip. Basically, the Apple Pencil emits a type of signals that the iPad interprets and it is possible to determine its location in a sort of 3D format, in addition to knowing the angle in which it is projected to use it. Before any blow, the iPad will show a preview of what it will look like.
Drawing apps are the most useful
The Procreate Affair, given as an example in the interview, has a pencil-style brush that is small and thin. It gets thicker when tilted to create a shadow effect. The app will show what will happen when the tip comes into contact with the glass.
Apple has undoubtedly kept its promise ever since. last October announced the addition of scrolling for the Apple Pencil. Drawing will be taken to another level on the iPad Pro with M2, the downside for the iPad world is that this experience is limited to the most powerful device in the range.
Since its launch, it has been proposed that it will be a powerful device which could replace a PC. In some situations they have achieved this in a superior way, but in other tasks it is difficult. The M2 chip is incredible, if it has demonstrated it before with the previous M1, it is enough that Apple is able to provide a system capable of exploiting it to the maximum.
According to Stephen Tonna, director of product marketing for Savage Interactive (Procreate app), the iPad is above all a tactile device. It’s like holding a sheet of glass. Adding different accessories unlocks a range of abilities, the Apple Pencil adds up to an amazing experience, in his words. Another way to think of a pencil and the iPad. We’ll see how other drawing and note-taking apps take advantage of this new feature.
