And USB-C connectors are also found on external monitors, musical instruments and smartphones – Apple’s own iPhones, which still have Lightning connectors, being a notable exception. Of course, wireless charging for the new Pencil became a necessity since Apple traded a USB-C connector for the Lightning connector on previous iPad Pros that used to charge the older stylus.Īctually, this is a welcome trade because USB-C is fast becoming a standard across many other computers, including the new MacBook Air. And it conveniently charges wirelessly when magnetically attached to the top of new iPad – a bond that seemed fairly secure since the Pencil didn’t fall off when I intentionally shook the iPad. You can double tap the sides for certain gesture controls. The new Pencil does come with a few new tricks. (Apple is throwing you a small bone you can get an Apple Pencil with free engraving.) So there’s more loot right off the bat that you’ll likely surrender. And, no, your $99 Pencil won’t work with the new iPad Pros, nor will the new Pencil work on older iPads. The new Pencil is $30 more than its predecessor, costing $129. Which brings me to another add-on I suspect most of you will want – the latest version of the Apple Pencil stylus, used to draw, write or mark up in the screen, perhaps in the full version of Photoshop that was showcased during the event and coming next year.
