One of the greatest paradoxes in Apple's history was the Apple Pencil, a device or accessory that gave us an «analog» interface to interact with our devices. And I say that the launch of this product is shocking because it was Steve Jobs himself who at the presentation of the iPhone 4 said: «Nobody wants a stylus (digital pen) ».
With the arrival of the iPad Pro, this new device arrived, and the criticism of the Cupertino boys ran like rivers of ink, criticism that calmed down when we saw all the possibilities we had with a device like the one. Apple Pencil. An Apple Pencil that we saw with the arrival of the iPad Pro and that could be compatible soon with the iPhone... Yes, it has been Tim Cook the person who confirmed it.
What people are doing with the Apple Pencil Steve Jobs would love, That is what Tim Cook commented last May, and that is that the Apple Pencil is one of the devices that they are trying to sell the most. Back to "analog" in a state-of-the-art device. A Apple Pencil available for the iPad Pro, which It could soon reach the iPhone according to statements by Tim Cook himself.
If you've tried everything you can do with an Apple Pencil on an iPad or iPhone, you will know that it is something incredible.
As you have been able to read, Tim Cook talks about the iPhone, an iPhone that so far does not have support for the Apple Pencil so it is difficult for mortals to have seen something done with an Apple Pencil on the iPhone ... We will see what happens with all this, I am sure that tomorrow we will get rid of doubts in the Keynote, but from my point of view this is something that Apple should have done with the output of the Apple Pencil itself with which I have no doubt that in the end it will be compatible with the iPhone, with the iPhone Plus I would dare to say. Tomorrow we will tell you ...
Man, what Jobs said that nobody wanted a stylus requires going a little further than the sentence, that this seems like a post from one of those haters out there on the loose. As you know at that time there were other pseudo smartphones that required a stylus to select things on the screen in the menus that were appearing, menus in the style of a desktop OS. That was the stylus and that is still not wanted by anyone.
It was at the presentation of the original iPhone that Steve said that nobody wanted a stylus. He was right, and still is.
But you have to know how to differentiate what is a stylus on a smartphone and what is an Apple Pencil on an iPad Pro.
The Apple Pencil is a work tool that perfectly complements the iPad, both for writing, drawing, designing, painting, etc. anyone who has had the opportunity to use it will know what I mean.
The stylus of the cell phone was to supplant the finger, simple. Yes or yes you needed a stylus to select anything on a phone, you couldn't do it with your fingers, you depended 100% on it.
Regarding the compatibility of the Apple Pencil with the iPhone, welcome, but I do not see much sense to use it on a screen less than 5.5 inches, but, for tastes ... colors.
