Dual-Sensor Stylus Pens

The 'Apple Pencil' is the Perfect Companion for the iPad Pro

Among the numerous products and services introduced at Apple's unveiling event, make sure not to overlook its new 'Apple Pencil.' Made to accompany the iPad Pro, the partnering stylus is impressive in its own right.

The first innovation would be the the dual sensor tip. One sensor detects the force on the screen, while the other detects the precise tilt of the Apple Pencil. This feature allows for more variation when writing, similar to a typical pencil. The screen of the iPad Pro itself is programmed to be more sensitive and differentiate between the stylus and a finger.

The Apple Pencil is charged through a lightning connector that attaches to the iPad Pro. The pencil is meant to be compatible with a number of the upgraded iPad's features and apps including Mail, Notes and Adobe.
