The pencil is the most hilarious thing apple has ever done lol. It's like one of those mockery videos, only real.

Plus the way it charges is just hilarious. The pencil is built specifically for the ipad pro, yet to charge on the ipad pro you need to do this.

iPad Mini 4 is replacing 3, and 2 is getting a price reduction.

Yeah. I bet Steve is just rolling in his grave.
I was on iFunny and there were tons of things about Apple Pencil. I thought they were all jokes, but then I found out it was real.

It's like apple pulling a big prank on everyone, except it's not a prank....

And the charging thing just looks horrific. That just seems so against everything Jobs wanted.
Maybe not so much the lack of stylus, I guess he just didn't want it to be necessary.
But it's just so awkward. I think one thing about Apple is that they try to do things stylishly, even if they don't do them well. This just seems like the opposite.
Nothing like having a huge thing sticking out of your tablet.
It just seems so awkward to charge, and the tablet seems like it'd be weird to use if it was charging.

I really, really don't like apple.

I thought they over priced things before ... but seriously, $99 for a stylus? How?

Thats still over priced but wacom charges about the same for theirs. But i'm sure wacoms are a lot more advanced.

Mmm_fish_tacos · Sep 10, 2015, 08:33 PM

Yeah, so the new ipad pro and the pencil make it a wacom competitor. Which is about half the price of a wacom. It's a good deal if you're looking for something like this and works better than the MS surface option. Too bad it can't run windows. It's funny seeing the internet react the way they did though.

How much are the wacoms you're looking at? The ones on Amazon are only a couple hundred.

Neverdies' was only a couple hundred as well.
