Apple's big 2015 event held in California on September 9 revealed their latest batch of hardware updates, including new versions of the iPhone 6 — the iPhone 6s and the larger iPhone 6s Plus — as well as the Apple Watch, the watch that spawned in collaboration with luxury fashion brand Hermès and reinforces Apple's desire to position its smartwatch as a luxury product rather than a utility. They also unveiled a larger version of their tablet called the iPad Pro, which they described as "the most capable and powerful iPad they've ever created." The only completely new product that will not be found among Apple's technological toys since the early 1990s is the digital pen Apple Pencil. This is made for use with the larger iPad and aimed at professional artists and designers. It will enable new precision in drawing and writing on the iPad, which will respond to different forms of pressure as well as different angles.
The highly responsive sensors built into the tip of the digital pen Apple Pencil will worked with iPad Pro, and this one will detect position, power and inclination of the pen. With light pressure, we will get thin lines, and with stronger pressure, we will get darker, stronger lines. The signals emitted by the two locations in the tip of the digital pen are calculated angle and orientation thus helping to create broad or shaded lines. The technology in the screen is designed to recognize the difference between digital pen and finger touch, although the pen can also be used simultaneously with fingers due to its unique tip.
According to Jonathan Ive, the Apple Pencil should be designed to give its appearance a sense of home, and its technology works with the most advanced touch screen and brings something unusual - a precision that actually allows, to touch each pixel.
The upper part of the pencil contains sensors, which contribute data back to the tablet device. The Apple Pencil is charged via a USB port and a Lightning connector. An Apple pen will be available for the converted 87 euros, but it will be compatible exclusively with the latest iPad Pro tablet.
Steve Jobs in 2007 clearly rejected the need to make a digital pen - first of all, they need to be bought, they need to be stored somewhere and, if possible, we lose them quickly. According to him, the only real tools are our fingers. When the fourth operating system for the iPhone was released in 2010, Jobs added: "If you're going to see a digital pen, they've covered the whole line."
