1. ZAGG PRO STYLUS 2: AN APPLE PENCIL ALTERNATIVE FOR EVERYTHING BUT PHOTOSHOP.

Author

BERGBOLD, THOMAS

Subjects
*PENCILS, *WIRELESS power transmission
Abstract

The Zagg Pro Stylus 2 is an alternative to the Apple Pencil that offers similar specifications such as wireless charging and a replaceable tip. Unlike the Apple Pencil, it can be used on any iPad since 2018, including the standard iPad and iPad Air. The stylus has a matte finish and a capacitive rubber tip that is practical for turning pages. It performs well in note-taking and creative apps, but it lags significantly in Adobe Photoshop. The Pro Stylus 2 comes with a wireless charging station for iPads without wireless charging and is available in multiple colors. [Extracted from the article]

6. A future Apple Pencil could have Find My support.

Author

LOYOLA, ROMAN

Subjects
*PENCILS, *ACOUSTIC resonators, *PATENT applications, *IPADS
Abstract

The user launches the Find My app and goes to the Devices section, and Bluetooth (which is what the Pencil uses to connect to an iPad) would be used to sense its proximity. Apple currently has two versions of the Pencil available, and both the original Pencil (fave.co/3qTfETW) and the 2nd-generation Pencil (fave.co/3u83THF) do not have the capability to emit sound. Finding a lost Pencil could work in the same way a user can use Find My to locate a misplaced iPhone, iPad, or Mac. [Extracted from the article]
