Clearly you don’t understand the technology behind the pen/pencil support ;-)
Also that pen you bought for the iPad was that an Apple pen? Or 3rd party? Plus it didn’t work with a digitizer (like the iPad pro has...which is really a copy of the tablet PC (windows XP) if you really want to go out school. But reality is they added the pencil to compete with the surface. How long until they create a tablet MacBook with touch support? I think it will be about 3 years before Apple catches up with the surface book.
But honestly I like the copying of each other...it makes things better.
I understand it very well, for-q-clinton.
The digitizing already built-in to the iPad can handle it quite well. . . and does. The 3rd party pen I bought almost three years ago still works as well as the Microsoft pen, doing exactly the same things as the stylus that comes with your Microsoft Surface. It does NOT do the far more functional things the Apple Pencil does, but neither does the MS stylus.
There is no way that Apple created the pencil to compete with a product that sold so abysmally last year. In fact, Microsoft just reported that they sold a measly $672 million of Microsoft Surfaces in the last quarter, down from $902 million in the same quarter of 2014! Apple is not worried about the Surface or even the Surface Book. If you think that they are, you are delusional.
