Throughout this year’s WWDC, Apple officially announced iPadOS, which offers an assortment of new features for the iPad, but also offers the following new features and improvements for the Apple Pencil:
- Apple has stated that the second generation Apple pencil, complete with a latency that’s been slashed to 9ms, feels more natural. iPadOS, in turn, uses advanced prediction algorithms and optimizations to further reduce this latency.
- Users of the latest generation iPad Pro with ProMotion equipped with the second generation Apple Pencil will see even better response times as well as overall feel as they use the stylus.
- With iPadOS, users can also now swipe up from the bottom left or right corner of your iPad with Apple Pencil to take a quick screenshot and start marking up documents right away.
- Users will be able to select full page if they’re taking a screenshot. In addition, they’ll be able to annotate, jot down notes, and save this as a PDF directly to the Files app, which can then be relayed using the Share Sheet in iPadOS.
- Apple’s Dark Mode will extend across in PadOS, offering an improved Notes app with a redesigned tool palette that offers quick access to tools, color palettes, shapes, object eraser, and a new pixel eraser for removing any part of a stroke.
- Most new features, including the new screenshot functionality, will also be available for first generation Apple Pencil users, as well as those using the Logitech Crayon.
The Apple Pencil and Apple Pencil 2 are both available at Amazon for $94.99 and $129 respectively.
Apple will be releasing iOS 13, iPadOS, macOS 10.15 Catalina, watchOS 6, and tvOS 13 later this fall as a free update.
