Apple announces entry-level Apple Pencil with USB-C charging

The iPad accessory will cost $79 and comes with a sliding cap that reveals
the USB-C port. It also attaches magnetically to the side edge of an iPad -
even the 10th-generation model Apple released last year.

The device doesn't support pressure sensitivity, wireless pairing and
charging, or the double-tap feature that lets you switch between tools.
However, it still supports hover with M2 models of the iPad Pro.

The first Apple Pencil model used a Lightning connector that jutted out of
it to plug into your iPad's port for charging, while the second-gen model
charged wirelessly and isn't compatible with the 10th-generation iPad Apple
released last year, leaving owners of that iPad with not-great options.

The USB-C Apple Pencil is compatible with a range of iPads, including the
third to sixth generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro, the first to fourth
generation 11-inch iPad Pro, the fourth and fifth generation iPad Air, the
10th gen iPad, and the sixth gen iPad Mini.

Apple released a second version of the Apple Pencil in 2018, named the
Apple Pencil 2. It added features like wireless charging (meaning you
didn't have to plug it into an iPad to charge it), a way to magnetically
attach to the side of supported iPads (meaning it had a flat edge that
prevented it from rolling off a table), and support for gesture controls
for things like switching tools while using an app.

Both of those things feel like they should've been implemented already
(or at least a way to charge without using an iPad)

Somehow apple still hasn't figured out that people might want to assign
undo to the gesture controls. But at least the ipad pencil doesn't seem to leave
scratches on the screen like that wacom stylus.

They were implemented 5 years ago in 2018. Read what you replied to
