Just one more pencil will SAVE DEMOCRACY! You want to save democracy, dontcha?

Joseph Humfrey

@ismh 😬 it’s a massive cliché, but I can’t help but wonder What Would Steve Jobs Think

@joethephish @ismh 🎵 Two of these things are not like others, two of these things are kinda (not) the same 🎵

Will Richardson

@ismh wait so the Apple Pencil 2 is incompatible with both new iPads?!

Odin

@willhbr @ismh Yes, the “Pro” is taking the place of the 2nd gen on new models. The new camera placement seems to break the old setup

Sean Harding

@ismh They don't even have a consistent naming scheme. Two named by generation, one named by connector, and one by… professionalism?

Jason Petersen (he)

@sharding @ismh you new to Apple? I mean the server name says no but…

@ismh
Does the 2nd gen pencil that I use with my M2 iPad Pro work with the new Pro or Air?

Jonathan Dechko

@caspercdn @ismh That’s disappointing, and another $129 for me to give Apple.

I really tried to hold out buying another one after my pencil 2 died, but at least the kids will be happy.

@jdechko @ismh
Yeah, the usb-c one is really a no-go. Magnetic charging is the best even for more $

Jonathan Dechko

@caspercdn @ismh loss of magnetic charging was one of my concerns with a new pencil. Glad to see they worked it out. And the additional features seem cool. I hope Goodnotes is updated to take advantage of the barrel roll and haptic features.

@ismh Kinda wish I kept my 1st gen pencil. It's a classic but I guess if I were that desperate I can just buy it in a year or two.

@timonus @ismh After all this time, I’ve given up on this

Nicolas Ward

@ismh Was I interpreting correctly that the new Pencil Pro with Find My is not supported on the new iPad Air?

Nicolas Ward

@ismh ...or maybe not, since the new Pencil is shown on the Air's store page.

Andrew Canion :prami:

@ismh Total and utter shitshow. This is ridiculous.

Sven

@ismh

Which is best for killing somebody with a pen? Yea know, like Joker, from that movie.

Does it still apply when you cause it to yourself?

@ismh

I miss the days of the 3x3 product grid.

Tim is just throwing spaghetti at the wall.

Gene Cowan 🏳️‍🌈

@ismh Which one will work with my Macintosh Performa 600? And do I need a separate one for my Centris, Quadra, and Power Macs?

Robert Currie

@ismh We've simplified the Apple Pencil line into four quadrants...

Class Steve Jobs 4 quadrants (notebook/desktop pro/consumer) diagram but with Apple Pencils.
Craig Grannell

@ismh Give it a few more years and every iPad owner will have their own bespoke Pencil.

Rob

@craiggrannell @ismh

But will any of them work for left-handers? Never could do anything but sign the simplest documents, making it the most expensive pencil I ever owned, let alone had very little use for.

@ismh @Gargron "congratulations, cupertino, you've ruined pencils!"
