It seems that Apple wants to load the graphic tablets with a single stroke, we all know the benefits of the Apple Pencil, which has been called the best digital pencil on the market, but not only that, we find ourselves at the same time with Apple's TrackPads Both the Magic TrackPad 2 available as an accessory, as well as the TrackPad included in the latest Mac models that have Force Touch technology, which was the prelude to 3D Touch, later included in mobile devices. The result if you unite them both can be huge and fantastic, maybe that's why, Apple is already thinking of combining the Apple Pencil and the TrackPad of the devices to replace the graphic tablets.
A graphic tablet is a device that allows us to draw using digital pencils, so that we can automatically see what we draw on our computer screen and take advantage of all its software improvements. This type of hardware is used by many designers to be able to work quickly and comfortably, however, many are not quite convinced of the difference with real writing. Nevertheless, we find that the Apple Pencil has been defined as the most "real" way to write digitally, To this we must add, that Apple's trackpads are the most accurate and powerful on the market, so we would be left with a pretty slick graphics tablet.
The system has already been patented by Apple, in fact they did it in 2014, although it has been now when it has come to light. It would not surprise us at all to see it fully available in the next versions, both for Apple laptops and at the software level for the rest of compatible devices and hardware. It is undoubtedly an alternative to other types of elements, which would ultimately save us money, despite the price of Apple accessories.
