yes, in fact i'd say it's a bit more generally accepted than yours. here's an experiment for you: try going into any computer store and ask to buy a stylus, then get back to me with what they showed you.

What’s a computer?
 
I've been a heavy Pencil user for quite some time. While the charging process has always bugged me, this morning the little adapter thingy fell behind my desk and I hit my head reaching for it. Why can't Apple redesign this da*n thing so charging doesn't require the adapter I've nearly lost 1,743 times. I don't have this problem with my Surface pen. That thing "just works" like Apple likes to say. Highly annoying. Anyone hear of any upcoming redesign for the Pencil?

I've not lost mine, nor has it failed behind a desk, and my head has not suffered because of it. The cost was a couple of dollars, shipped.

How are you posting to this board if you don't even know what a computer is? :rolleyes:
Some people cuteness = fail.

LOL I guess you didn’t catch my reference to the newest Apple commercials. In truth though I haven’t used a computer in quite some time. My arsenal of smartphones combined with my iPad Pro 12.9 provide 99% of my computing needs.

Would that be fingerpaint programs and knock-offs of Flappy Bird?
 
they should design the iPad pro (or whatever other products would use the pencil) with induction charging/magnet holder all-in-one

I actually have zero games installed. I have 2 main uses for my devices: 1. work (where we use a multitude of proprietary enterprise apps, maps, pdf and document apps) and 2. for leisure (where I use typical social media and video apps as well as a multitude of reference type apps for reading and study of the Bible).

As far as being on topic, the pencil is a must have on many of my apps and no, the loss of the adapter to charge it hasn’t been an issue. I simply plug it in to my iPad for a few minutes and it’s ready to go.
 
Worse is that Apple could have easily placed a coil inside for wireless charging or even better it could have stuck on the "smart connector" on the iPP via magnet and charge from there.

Source on the coil claim?

And the problem with them using the smart connector would be it'd interfere with the use of the ASK or any other cover/keyboard combo that takes advantage of the smart connector.

I literally laughed out loud. Sorry man, but would you like some cheese with that whine?

Also computers.
 
You have to buy the Watch if you have the Pencil. You simply put the Pencil on charge every time your Watch tells you to stand.
