iPad Pro Apple Pencil 2 wishlist
The Apple Pencil is great, but there's always room for improvement. Here's what I'm hoping the next Pencil brings (in no particular order): - Off switch. Since I keep my Pencil in my bag with my iPad all day, the battery constantly gets depleted. Quick charging is quick, but it's still a chore... -
iPad Pro Does Bluetooth in Pencil switch of when disconnected?
I was wondering when the Pencil is not connected with the iPad is it still emitting radiation or is it automatically switched off. Does anyone happen to know about the technical background of Bluetooth devices. (I know it's not that dangerous, I'd just like to know if this thing is on or off.)...- imagirlfriday

iPad w/Apple Pencil 3d Touch?
I know that in an early beta version of iOS 10, the Apple Pencil could be used to simulate 3d touch on the notifications screen to clear all notifications. Has anyone heard if this functionality will come back and possibly go system wide? If it doesn't, I really feel Apple is missing a huge... -
No Apple Pencil Support And No Multi Window View= Note 7
The iPhone 7 looks pretty underwhelming. Especially if you don't get the Plus model with dual cameras, you will be stuck with the smaller one without the flagship feature. The standout feature would be it comes in a "SPACE BLUE variant" WTF? The Note 7 has caught my eye and the only way Apple...- marine0816

Future of Apple Pencil -- MacBook / Thunderbolt display support?
Has anyone seen any hints or rumors of an updated Apple Pencil? $100 is enough money that I'm hesitant to buy a 1st Gen apple product a year after release, even though it is "just" an accessory. I don't have anything to add regarding a wishlist that hasn't already been repeated by reviews, but...- bennyf

Onenote vs. Notability for handwriting
I like OneNote for the way it organizes the notes, and general good feature set. However, to me it seems that in Notability my handwriting turns out better. It also seems OneNote has a slight lag when using the Pencil. Does anyone else have that experience? Also, it seems OneNote does not have...- ahostmadsen

Since I did the new update yesterday my Apple Pencil isn't recognized by my iPad Pro. I have to plug the pencil in even though it's charged so the tablet will recognize it. Once it shows the charge status for the battery, I can unplug it and use it. I have never had any issues until the update... -

The other day I was shocked to get an alert notification on my iPP when I turned it on saying that my Pencil was down to 5% charge!
