Completely familiar. Entirely revolutionary. IntroducingApple Pencil for iPad Pro.

When using iPad Pro, there may be moments when you want evengreater precision. So we painstakingly designed Apple Pencil toexpand on the versatility of Multi-Touch. And while the technologyinside is unlike anything we've ever engineered, picking up ApplePencil for the first time feels instantly familiar. It lets youmake any number of effects, down to a single pixel, giving you morecreative freedom than ever before.

Add Apple Pencil. Erase barriers.

You may never have seen Apple Pencil before, but you alreadyknow 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 awatercolour portrait or drafting a blueprint, Apple Pencil givesyou a variety of tools in a single instrument. You hold it, but itdoesn't hold you back.

Highly responsive. Virtually no lag.

The lightning-fast responsiveness of Apple Pencil separates itfrom other creative tools. That's because its latency - the tinydelay between when you begin drawing and the time it appears on thescreen - has been reduced to an almost imperceptible level.

iPad Pro knows whether you're using your finger or Apple Pencil.When iPad Pro senses Apple Pencil, the subsystem scans its signalat an astounding 240 times per second, giving it twice the datapoints it normally collects with your finger. This data, combinedwith Apple-designed software, means that there's only millisecondsbetween the image you have in your mind and the one you see on thedisplay.

Draw lines of any weight. Just applypressure.

Within its slender case are intricate and accurate pressuresensors, capable of measuring a range of forces. The carefullypositioned sensor determines precisely how hard the tip of ApplePencil is being pressed down. Press harder to draw thicker lines.Or use a gentle touch for wispy hairlines. The variety of creativeeffects is virtually limitless. Which means you are as well.

Add shading with a tilt of the hand.

Two tilt sensors built within the tip of Apple Pencil calculatethe exact orientation and angle of your hand. As you naturallywrite or draw, the relative positions of each of these sensors canbe detected by the Multi-Touch display. So you can create shadingeffects simply by tilting Apple Pencil the way you would a charcoalor conventional pencil.

12 hours of battery life. You supply the creativecharge.

Slip off the magnetic cap of Apple Pencil to reveal a Lightningconnector that lets you charge Apple Pencil simply by plugging itinto iPad Pro. The connector features a slightly elongated design,so that charging is possible even when iPad Pro is inside itsSilicone Case. A full charge gives you 12 hours worth ofscribbling, sketching, annotating and editing. And if the batteryhappens to run out while using Apple Pencil, you can just plug itinto your iPad Pro for 15 seconds and get 30 minutes of use.

Sketch new life into your favourite apps.

Make the most of iOS 9 when you use Apple Pencil with built-inapps. Apple Pencil will also work with iPad apps from the AppStore. So you're sure to find whole other dimensions of creativityand productivity.
