Completely familiar. Entirely revolutionary.\nIntroducing Apple Pencil for iPad Pro.\n\nWhen using iPad Pro, there may be moments when you want even greater precision. So we painstakingly designed Apple Pencil to expand on the versatility of Multi-Touch. And while the technology inside is unlike anything we’ve ever engineered, picking up Apple Pencil for the first time feels instantly familiar. It lets you make any number of effects, right down to a single pixel, giving you more creative freedom than ever before.\n\nAdd Apple Pencil. Erase barriers.\n\nYou may never have seen Apple Pencil before, but you already know how to use it. From the first moment, it does what you expect. And then far more. Whether you’re sketching in the park, painting a watercolour portrait or drafting a blueprint, Apple Pencil gives you a variety of tools in a single instrument. You hold it, but it doesn’t hold you back.\n\nHighly responsive. Virtually no lag.\n\nThe lightning-fast responsiveness of Apple Pencil separates it from other creative tools. That’s because its latency — the tiny delay between when you begin drawing and the time it appears on the screen — has been reduced to an almost imperceptible level.\n\niPad Pro knows whether you’re using your finger or Apple Pencil. When iPad Pro senses Apple Pencil, the subsystem scans its signal at an astounding 240 times per second, giving it twice the data points it normally collects with your finger. This data, combined with Apple-designed software, means that there are only milliseconds between the image you have in your mind and the one you see on the display.\n\nDraw lines of any weight. Just apply pressure.\n\nWithin its slender case are intricate and accurate pressure sensors, capable of measuring a range of forces. The carefully positioned sensor determines precisely how hard the tip of Apple Pencil is being pressed down. Press harder to draw thicker lines. Or use a gentle touch for wispy hairlines. The variety of creative effects is virtually limitless. Which means you are as well.\n\nAdd shading with a tilt of the hand.\n\nTwo tilt sensors built within the tip of Apple Pencil calculate the exact orientation and angle of your hand. As you naturally write or draw, the relative positions of each of these sensors can be detected by the Multi-Touch display. So you can create shading effects simply by tilting Apple Pencil the way you would a charcoal or conventional pencil.\n\n12 hours of battery life.\nYou supply the creative charge.\n\nSlip off the magnetic cap of Apple Pencil to reveal a Lightning connector that lets you charge Apple Pencil simply by plugging it into iPad Pro. The connector features a slightly elongated design, so that charging is possible even when iPad Pro is inside its Silicone Case. In a rush? Just 15 seconds provides enough charge for half an hour of use. And a full charge gets you 12 hours’ worth of scribbling, sketching, annotating and editing.\n\nSketch new life into your favourite apps.\n\nMake the most of iOS 9 when you use Apple Pencil with built-in apps. Apple Pencil will also work with iPad apps from the App Store. So you’re sure to find whole other dimensions of creativity and productivity.\n\nNotes\n\nDiscover new ways to annotate, sketch and add creativity in Notes.
