In addition to the iPad Pro, Apple introduced a special accessory - stylus Apple Pencil. At this point, almost every fan of Apple involuntarily sighed: how it was possible to do so, given the fact that Steve Jobs talked about the stylus 8 years ago? And then, together with the announcement of the first iPhone, he just pointed to the futility of the pen and the lack of need for it, "Nonsense."
Nevertheless, 8 years ago, Steve Jobs really could say such a thing. The company presents its brand new product - the first smartphone with a unique screen, designed with support for Multi-Touch technology. It was the first such display capable of giving instant feedback for any contact. The user can scroll, zoom in / out, press the - screen acted instantly.
A main feature is that none of the screen at that time could not make iPhone competition. Smartphones that time had a very mediocre screens (in fact, they were awful), for which was necessary the stylus: terrible vestige from which to Apple immediately decided to get rid of. "Best stylus - it's your own finger", - he said at the time Steve Jobs was quite right. After all, the stylus does not provide the user with more functions - it only
hide flaws screens that time.Then said the word, in fact, remains true today - all the iPhone work without a stylus. And there is no doubt that the situation will not change in the future.
But the story of the iPad Pro quite another. And farewell to Steve Jobs about the stylus has a new tablet in any way. And all because tablet stylus expands opportunities instead of making it completely dependent on him. Need proof? Apple Pencil is sold separately, and if necessary, the user can perfectly handle each of their ten fingers.
Also look at himself iPad Pro. This is a large 12.9-inch screen, the Retina stunning with great resolution and more than 5 million pixels. He does not go to any comparison with the small 3.5-inch iPhone, which Jobs introduced 8 years ago. And it is obvious that the problems in this huge piece of glass are different.
Apple Pencil - is a gadget that allows you to make a real iPad Pro paper, studied drawing and design. It is designed to the last detail screen technology and the most Pencil: clicked - and the thicker the line, the slope - is wider. Demonstrations on stage by Microsoft and Adobe proven benefit of such a tandem.
Pencil This is why the challenge is to expand the boundaries of the possible, not narrow them, as it was 8 years ago. And the question here is not about Jobs's legacy, and the benefits of the device. Illustrators and other creative professions people to discover this benefit already noted.
P.S. Apple has long violates the commandments Jobs: iPhone released with a big screen and the iPad - with a little. And all because it is marketing, not canon.
