Apple is known for launching some of the amazing devices. The
technology giant has recently unveiled Apple iPad Pro, a powerful device for
sure. It looks like the bigger version of iPad Air; and it does not come
alone as it is supported by its stylus, the Apple Pencil.
When Steve Jobs first introduced the iPhone, he said that nobody wants a
stylus, and that the best pointing device is our finger. And yet, a
stylus is a much more precise input device that makes a lot of sense
when it comes to graphic design, photo editing and many other content
creation use cases.
The Apple pencil detects position, force and tilt. It looks like the
ISKN smart surface or the Adobe Digital Pen and could easily replace
your Wacom tablet. It features a lightning connector so that you can
charge it directly to your iPad when you are not using it. App
developers will be able to take advantage of this stylus.

Apple invited Microsoft on stage to demo Microsoft Office; you can use
the pen to annotate documents. For example, you can circle items in
documents, and draw shapes on PowerPoint slides that are directly
converted to graphic objects.
Eric Snowden from Adobe demoed Adobe Photoshop FX, a brand new app. As
expected, you can draw using the stylus. Overall, it seems like this
stylus works quite well. When you draw something, it appears instantly
on the screen. |

Apple Pencil Remove Barriers
You may never have seen Apple Pencil before, but you already know how to
use it. From the first moment, it does what you expect. And then far
more. Whether you’re sketching in the park, painting a watercolor
portrait, or drafting a blueprint, Apple Pencil gives you a variety of
tools in a single instrument. You hold it, but it doesn’t hold you back. |

Apple iPad Pro Specs & Features
The new iPad Pro uses a 12.9-inch display (2732 x 2048 resolution with
264 ppi), and makes use of the new split screen app features of iOS 9.
The width of the iPad Pro is the same as the height of the iPad Air 2.
"It can do things that a smartphone doesn’t do because it doesn’t have
to sit in your pocket," says Apple's Phil Schiller. Apple is using the
same technology from its iMac with Retina 5K display to bring the iPad
Pro pixels to life. "For the first time in an Apple display, it has a
variable refresh rate," explains Schiller. This means Apple can slow the
display down and save battery.
Expected Price
The expected price of Apple iPad Pro is 9650 PKR in Pakistan. The Apple
Pencil is going to cost 10500 PKR. It remains to be confirmed whether
this stylus can work with existing iPads. It will be available in
Pakistan in few months time.
