Steve Jobs envisioned the iPhone and iPad as devices that would be controlled by the touch of a finger on a touch screen. However, Apple has created such multifunctional devices that they can already be used as notepads for writing and even canvases for drawing. We offer you a review of styluses that will make creativity on your gadgets even more convenient.

We admit that writing large notes, drawing or drawing with a stylus is still more familiar and convenient than with a finger.

If you've never used a stylus on an iPad before, there are a few things to consider before purchasing.

iPad is not pressure sensitive

This feature does not allow drawing lines of varying thickness. In part, this drawback is corrected by Bluetooth styluses. The developers have put a lot of effort into creating a pen that works not by pressing the touch screen, but by using a Bluetooth code. These styluses allow you to write and draw with different pressure levels, which is quite convenient for drawing text and lines of different thicknesses. However, they have a number of disadvantages: not all applications support them; working on Bluetooth 4.0 limits use in idevices (starting from iPad mini, iPad 3, iPhone 5); Still, sometimes they need to be recharged or the battery changed.

Stylus weight

This setting is important if you plan to work for long periods of time and the app you're using doesn't disable palm touch. Hovering your hand over the screen for a long time can be quite a tedious task.

Tips: size, shape, material

Mid-price styluses ranging from $10 to $40 are equipped with a stylus made of rubber measuring 6-9 mm. That is, manufacturers are trying to replicate the tip of the middle finger. There are nibs that are slightly smaller and made from different materials, but usually there will be some compromise involved. They make it harder to apply pressure to the touchpad to get the iPad to respond, or the stylus is more slippery than traditional rubber.

Bluetooth-enabled styluses, thanks to their technology, can have a wide range of different nibs made of different materials: rubber, transparent disk tips, plastic tips like a pen nib.

What's better? This largely depends on your tasks. Rubber provides greater grip on the screen. This is good when you have to hold your hand up, but annoying when you need to write quickly. Fabric pens also slow down on the screen and are quite soft, which makes them less accurate. Plastic tips are much more nimble, but they can produce an annoying squeak as they move across the iPad screen.

For writing

If you hate taking notes on the virtual keyboard or swiping to sign a document, you'll need a stylus for quick notes. We suggest considering the $75 Jot Script Bluetooth stylus from Adonit. It uses Pixelpoint technology, which allows you to write cleanly and quickly. The nib is not traditionally rubber, but is made from a tiny piece of plastic, which improves screen visibility and writing accuracy.

Of course, Script is not ideal for performing all tasks. Due to the plastic tip, it slides around the screen a bit, and it only has one fully supported app (Penultimate). Other applications that have difficulty sensing the pen's tilt may be difficult to use.

The build quality of the stylus is excellent. Requires AAA battery which will have a long service life due to overall low power consumption.

Our pick is Jot Script: 2mm plastic tip, $75. Pros: Bluetooth; quick writing; This is the most accurate stylus on the market. Cons: Sliding on the iPad screen; limited application support; poor sensitivity to pressure.

Do you use styluses or is it not necessary? Are you ready to invest in a stylus after reading this review?

Rodion Danilov

Increasingly, tablets and smartphones with touch screens are being used as sketchbooks, notepads, and even canvases. However, drawing and writing with your finger is extremely inconvenient. To achieve this, many companies are developing styluses that imitate the familiar sensations of working with a pen, felt-tip pen or brush. We offer you a list of 10 styluses for capacitive screens that are worth checking out.

Just Mobile AluPen

Just Mobile's AluPen is a budget-friendly pencil-style device made from sleek aluminum, designed specifically for the iPad. The soft rubber tip allows you to work with the tablet much more efficiently than with your finger. It is accurate, smooth, does not leave fingerprints on the screen, and is perfect for taking notes, creating sketches and graphic drawings.

WACOM Intuos Creative Stylus

Wacom Intuos Creative Stylus with 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity and BlueTooth support is capable of creating the effects of drawing on paper with a regular marker or pencil. Suitable for serious digital artists, the stylus has interchangeable tips for drawing, sketching and painting. Programmable buttons provide quick access to the items you need, saving time.

LYNKtec TruGlide Pro

The TruGlide Pro stylus is LYNKtec's best-selling stylus. The device does not require a Bluetooth connection or special applications. The body is made of anodized aluminum, and the 5mm tip is made of special microfiber. It is more durable and glides smoother and smoother than its rubber counterparts. The design of the device allows it to be replaced with a brush attachment.

Sensu Brush

The digital brush Sensu Brush, developed by Artist Hardware from the USA, was released in 2012 thanks to the Kickstarter crowdfunding platform. The required amount for the production of the device was collected in just a few days. Featuring a bristled tip made from highly conductive fibers, the Sensu Brush lets you paint on any device with a capacitive screen for a tactile experience that's as close as possible to using a real brush. A list of recommended applications can be found on the manufacturer's website.

Wacom Bamboo Duo2

Ten One Design Pogo Connect

The Pogo Connect stylus is already a cut above the device. Firstly, it reacts not only to pressure (and reads 100 levels of pressure), but even to the tilt of the pen. In this case, the tablet, when connected to Pogo (and it is connected via Bluetooth 4.0), ignores the touch of the hand when drawing. In addition to the stylus, you can purchase 4 different attachments, including 2 hard nibs and 2 brushes. A nice bonus is that Pogo allows you to track its location, making it difficult to lose. Pogo Connect is powered by an AAA battery, the charge of which, according to the developers, lasts for almost several months.

Adonit Jot Pro Stylus

Adonit Jot Pro is great for writing, sketching and drawing graphics on the iPad screen. The main advantage of the Jot Pro is its precision, which is achieved thanks to its unusual tip. At the end of the pen there is a small round silicone plate with a special coating. It allows you to control the thickness of the line (having 2000 levels of pressure sensitivity), while the feeling of the stylus is comparable to writing with a regular ballpoint pen.

Adonit Jot Script

Many of us enjoy drawing, taking notes and sketching on our tablets and phones. And although some are comfortable working with their fingers, let’s be honest: a good stylus makes work much more enjoyable. Which stylus should you choose?

We've spent a lot of time researching styluses in a variety of shapes, sizes, and designs, and now we're excited to bring you the best tools for taking notes, sketching, and electronically drawing on your touchscreen.

What you need to know about styluses

If you have never had a stylus, then before choosing an assistant, you should know the following.

The iPad is not pressure sensitive, but there are pressure sensitive styluses. Of course, your iPad is no match for a Wacom tablet; its screen doesn't recognize how hard you press it, and it can't tell the difference between a thick stylus tip and a thin one.

The creators of the iPad tried to correct this drawback using Bluetooth low-energy technology: now the stylus can not only simply “imitate” a finger, but will interact (transmit and receive information from the tablet) with the application via Bluetooth.

Now it's up to application developers - while Bluetooth styluses do not work in all programs. But every day there are more and more such applications, which means that everyone can take advantage of all their advantages: pressure sensitivity, the function of preventing accidental activation of the touch panel when touched by the palm (palm rejection), a thin tip and others.

In order to use this stylus, you need to be the owner of an iPad or iPhone with Bluetooth 4.0 support, that is, have an iPad mini of the first or second generation, iPad 3 (or newer), iPhone 5 (or newer).

Weight matters

Any artist will tell you how important the weight of a drawing tool is. Same as tip size. The weight of the stylus and how it fits in your hand are especially important for applications that don't have a feature to prevent the touchpad from accidentally triggering—those applications require you to keep your hand balanced at all times.

Tip size, shape and texture

The tip of the average stylus ($10–$40) is made of rubber or other conductive material and measures 6–9 mm in size. In short, this tip is designed as a replacement for a finger. There are non-Bluetooth styluses that have tips that are slightly smaller or have different textures. But they usually have disadvantages: either you have to press harder on the screen, or the tip slides too much on the screen.

Bluetooth styluses come with a large selection of different tips: rubber tips, transparent tips, plastic tips, tips as thin as a ballpoint pen.

What to choose? It depends on why you need the stylus. Rubber adheres to the display glass more than other materials: this helps draw smoother, straighter lines, but is annoying if you need to write something quickly. Tips made of other materials can also slow down movement on the screen a little, and sometimes they are too soft and sponge-like, which affects the accuracy of the pressure intensity (with the stylus supporting the Pressure Sensitivity function). Plastic, on the other hand, does not physically adhere to the display, but can knock on its surface unpleasantly. Our selection includes styluses with a wide variety of tips. It’s up to you to decide which one is better.

For notes

If you don't like taking notes using a virtual keyboard, you'll probably enjoy using a precision stylus to do so. For example, Jot Script by Adonit. Thanks to Pixelpoint™ technology, it allows you to write clearly and quickly.

Instead of a rubber tip, it has a tiny piece of plastic on the end, allowing you to see the screen better and increasing your writing accuracy. Of course, the Jot Script stylus isn't perfect. The plastic tip glides perfectly across the screen, but at the same time the stylus works flawlessly in only one application - Penultimate (although no, he seems to draw quite well in Paper too). In other applications it is more difficult to use the stylus.

The quality and construction of this stylus is excellent. Built-in Bluetooth works great - just turn on the stylus and get started. The stylus runs on a standard little finger battery, but due to its low energy consumption, it will not have to be replaced often.

Our choice: Jot Script with 2 mm thick plastic tip;
Advantages: Built-in Bluetooth, great for quick writing, stylus with the most precise pressure;
Flaws: slides across the screen, does not work in all applications, is not pressure sensitive.

Bamboo Stylus Duo, with rubber tip - 5 mm. Without Bluetooth® support;
Advantages: writes well and “cleanly”, can be used both as a stylus and as a regular pen;
Flaws: The tip wears out over time (but can be replaced with a new one).

Universal stylus

When you're just venturing into the world of styluses and electronic sketching, it's important to find a tool that fits well in your hand and allows you to draw whatever you want in the app of your choice. The Wacom Bamboo Stylus is a great stylus with a 6mm thick round tip that's a pleasure to swipe across the screen. This stylus fits perfectly in your hand, allowing you to draw, sketch, and control your device.

Bamboo– not a perfect stylus, it has the same shortcomings as other rubber-tipped styluses (for example, not the highest line accuracy, due to the rather massive tip, which does not allow you to clearly see what is happening under it). That said, the stylus is well built, easy to carry, and we haven't yet found another universal stylus that works this well.

If you don't mind spending more money and getting a stylus with Bluetooth® and pressure sensitivity, then check out the Pogo Connect from Ten One Design.

This stylus offers four different tips that work great. Hundreds of sensitivity levels may be too much for a beginner, but for those who want to create electronic masterpieces, this is really what they need.

The only drawback of the accessory (at the time of writing) is that it does not work well on the latest iPad tablets. The developers are trying to solve this problem, but perhaps you shouldn’t rush out and buy it if you own an iPad Air (the stylus, with the exception of the R1 tip, only works flawlessly on the iPad mini).

Our choice: Bamboo Stylus, 5mm rubber tip;
Advantages: Great for sketching and drawing;
Flaws: sometimes it is difficult to see the details behind the tip, the tip wears out, but it can be replaced.

Bluetooth option: Pogo Connect, rubber tip - 7.3 mm;
Advantages: several tip options (purchased separately), hundreds of levels of pressure sensitivity, support for blocking the screen against unwanted touches (Palm Rejection) in some applications;
Flaws: too complex for those who need a regular stylus, the touchpad anti-accident feature and pressure sensitivity don't work in all apps. The stylus also does not work on the iPad Air.

More democratic version: Cosmonaut, rubber tip - 8 mm;
Advantages: The stylus is quite weighty, it is very comfortable to hold in the hand, it is equally suitable for both children and adults, the accuracy of pressing is surprisingly high, despite the thick tip;
Flaws: It's not very convenient to write with the stylus, plus the rubber tip quickly becomes overgrown with small dust particles.

To draw details

Give serious artists a Wacom! Of course, there is nothing better than Cintiq, Intuos, Bamboo, and even better than Cintiq Companion. But if you create on an iPad, then it’s worth purchasing a stylus Wacom Intuos Creative 2. 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity! Lots of compatible apps! This Bluetooth® stylus lets you draw whatever your heart desires. The Wacom Intuos Creative Stylus comes with a wonderful carrying case and a set of spare nibs, which are very useful for those who plan to draw a LOT.

Finding flaws in this stylus is not so easy. The tip touches the screen lightly, allowing you to draw fine details. However, it is worth saying that the tip sometimes seems too soft. Also, the programmable buttons on the stylus handle are easy to accidentally press while working.

Our choice: Intuos Creative Stylus, rubber tip - 6 mm;
Advantages: programmable buttons, 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity, many compatible applications, Bluetooth support;
Flaws: The stylus is quite expensive, the tip can feel too soft, and the programmable buttons are easy to accidentally press.

Option without rubber tip:
Jot Touch 4, plastic disc tip;
Advantages: programmable buttons, greater pressing accuracy, 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity, recharging via USB;
Flaws: The tip takes some getting used to, sometimes the disc makes an unpleasant knock on the screen.

For drawing

Although many artists today use various electronic devices, it is nice to have something that reminds us of the creative process of the past. Brushes from Nomad and Sensu allow you to “paint” on the screen, and most importantly, you don’t have to wash them. It's amazing how much more realistic your painting becomes when you use a Nomad or Sensu brush.

Nomad offers several brush options, but none of them are pressure sensitive. Our favorite is the Nomad Compose brush, which has a long handle and a short, angled tip for detailing. Also interesting are the Mini 2 brushes - a folding brush with bristles at one end and a rubber tip at the other; single-sided Flex brush; and the Nomad Play, a fancy brush with a large handle made especially for children.

Sensu doesn't offer many options: brush-stylus Sensu Brush and brush Sensu Solo. Which brush will you choose? For us, the texture of the brush and how it touched the screen as we worked played a big role. The Nomad's brush rubs harder against the screen, while the Sensu's brush glides smoothly when drawing. The choice is yours.

Nomad Compose with double tip;
Advantages: easy to draw both large and small details, fits nicely in the hand;
Flaws: The brush easily deteriorates if you don’t take care of it; it rubs against the screen more than other brushes.

Sensu Solo, tip – brush;
Advantages: a brush is convenient for drawing details;
Flaws: The brush can be easily damaged if handled carelessly. Unlike Nomad, it glides smoothly across the screen, feeling naturally in your hand.

What about other styluses?

Since the introduction of the iPad, we have tested more than 75 styluses, and we decided not to write about many of them in this article. This doesn't mean they don't work well. They're just not the best or they have drawbacks that prevent us from recommending them (Ellis Hamburger, for example, liked the Maglus stylus. We also found the stylus to be quite good, but we noticed that our hands get very tired when working with it. However, However, it is a surprisingly durable stylus).

For some reason, many thought that one of the key functions of the iPad Pro was the presence of a stylus, which they called Apple Pencil, although the company emphasized in every possible way that this is not a stylus at all, but something else, for example, a pencil, as the name suggests. The reason for the dislike of the word “stylus” is clear. Apple founder Steve Jobs argued that all control on the company's touch devices would be done by hand, and the stylus was a relic of the past. Steve Jobs is no more, which means that the current leaders of the company can release whatever they want, which is what they are doing. Nevertheless, you still have to give explanations for your ingenious discoveries, otherwise the crowd of fans will remain perplexed and do not know what to tell others about the next great invention. Jonathan Ive, who hasn’t come up with anything interesting or worthwhile in the last few years, in an interview with Wallpaper Magazine explained why and how the idea for the pencil came about, here is his direct speech: “We realized that there is a clearly defined group of people that can appreciate a tool that will allow them to draw or sketch, but not in the same way as drawing with their fingers. And I suspect it’s a large group of people.”

Almost five years after the release of the first Note, the launch of the line from Samsung, and the rise of its popularity, Apple suddenly saw that there was a niche in the market for those who liked to draw. And we decided to make our own product. There was no need to invent anything here, since all kinds of styluses for Apple tablets were produced by many companies, but they all suffered from one drawback: they were poking sticks, while other manufacturers created full-fledged input devices that responded to pressure, pen tilt, and others “little things.” In particular, such devices include all styluses from Samsung, as well as the stylus for Microsoft Surface, which is part of the standard package in the latest versions of tablets. Once again, Apple is entering a market with its solution, where there are already analogues that have come a long way over several generations. If Apple had not ignored other people’s experience, they could have created their own “pencil” completely different, and it would have been much more useful for iPad tablet users, but everything turned out differently, the story developed as usual.

Let's start with the fact that the Apple Pencil is an additional accessory, sold separately from the iPad Pro and positioned as an optional part of the tablet. This accessory is not for everyone, and the fact that it receives so much attention is solely due to the company's successful PR efforts. Every day there are more and more revelations from designers, user interface developers, as well as those who design cars, planes and ships, in which these people admit that before they did not have a life, and with the advent of the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil they for the first time had the opportunity work fully, and not as they did before. Of course, in this PR hubbub there are also adequate reviews, but they are often drowned in the delight of those who have never worked with a stylus and for whom the Apple Pencil is their first such experience.

The price of the Apple Pencil in the USA is $99 excluding taxes, in Russia - 7,790 rubles, which makes this pencil, if not gold, then close to it. On the other hand, professional styluses from Wacom are not cheap, but they are a completely different class of product, and their consumers know exactly what they are paying for. This is not a mass-produced toy for bored people who want to depict something on their tablet screen. I doubt that professionals in graphics, design and the like will start using the Apple Pencil en masse, it all comes down to force of habit, but the main thing is the software that will be available to work with the pen. As for the software, everything is very sad so far, but more on that later.

So, we take the Pencil out of the box, open the cap at the top end and see the Lightning connector. The box shows how it needs to be inserted into the tablet to recharge.

Forgive me, but this is pornography in the literal and figurative sense. Apple engineers lost all their skills, as they created a visually ugly, bad and unreliable solution; in this position, it is not difficult to break off the connector. And they sincerely warn about this! Caring, crooked creators of the Apple Pencil, who quickly realized that their solution was not very good, and therefore added an adapter to the kit for charging the pencil from a computer or from the network. This is a small adapter, on one side we plug in a regular iPhone/iPad charger, on the other side - the pencil itself. Adapter! For the stylus! If Steve Jobs were alive, he would have had a very harsh conversation with Jonathan Ive, after which the latter would have rushed to fix and redo everything.

I didn’t dare post a photo of what it looks like when charging, I was afraid that we would be closed for pornography, so look at this moment in the video, everything is shown there. But I can say one thing, Apple engineers exceeded my worst assumptions, they made the pencil in the worst way possible. The same stylus on MS Surface does not require charging and works great with the built-in software. But more on that later.

Apple's pencil is glossy, and if your hands are wet, it starts to slip. No rough surfaces; a creative tool should be smooth and gliding, both on the surface and in human hands. Speaking seriously, it is clear that it is not for nothing that the majority of those who produce styluses do not make them smooth, but prefer a rough body. Let's guess why. Apparently, they value the ergonomics of a device above its appearance, but Apple does exactly the opposite.

From an ergonomic point of view, the Apple Pencil has another drawback - it does not attach to the iPad body. It is magnetized from the bottom, but the attractive force is not enough, so you won’t be able to wear it like that. You will have to carry it somewhere else, but not with the device. This is silly? In my opinion, this is damn stupid and short-sighted, and most importantly, inconvenient. But you can deny quite obvious things and say that this is correct and the only way it is necessary.

Now about the good and pleasant. The Apple Pencil only works with the iPad Pro; it cannot be connected to other tablets. The reason is that the company slightly changed the screen technology to support such a stylus. I don’t know whether it will be supported in other products, but it is justified only on large diagonals; on the iPad Mini, for example, the pencil makes little sense.

We insert the pencil to charge, and immediately the iPad Pro offers us to synchronize the device via Bluetooth and connect it. We agree. In notifications you can find a widget that shows the charge level of your Apple Pencil. The company claims that a fully charged pencil will last about 12 hours, with 15 seconds giving you a runtime of 30 minutes. It will take about 45-50 minutes to fully charge the Apple Pencil from the iPad. In principle, this is a small problem; charging this stylus from time to time will not be difficult. When the battery level reaches a low level, a warning will appear.

There is another side to the coin that no one thinks about or pays attention to. iPad Pro uses more power when you use Apple Pencil. After half an hour of working on the screen, the battery loses 7-8 percent of its charge. For comparison, watching a movie at maximum brightness eats up 10% per hour. Feel the difference and differences.

Software - all the names are familiar

Apple's stylus understands up to 2048 degrees of pressure, as well as horizontal deviation. This means that by pressing it you can make lines thicker, and by tilting the pencil you can create shading. And in this way it resembles an ordinary pencil, which is very good.

But now is the time to talk about which programs support working with the Apple Pencil and how. With it you can move around the screen and select icons. And there are no problems here, everything works. Another thing is that creativity requires programs that can work with the Apple Pencil, and there are already more than a dozen such programs. For example, in standard notes you can write by hand, but your text will not be recognized; there is simply no such function in iOS9. This is the first disappointment, no handwriting or typing this way, this pencil is for creativity, not for boring handwritten notes.

I tried a dozen programs that the App Store recommended for the pencil, most of them already had support for styluses, that is, the appearance of the Apple Pencil was not unexpected. For example, in Evernote it has long been possible to enter notes by hand; on the iPad you could draw with your finger, as, indeed, this can still be done now. It’s approximately the same in each of the programs; the Apple Pencil does not provide any special accuracy; you draw exactly the same as you drew before, with the same programs or similar input devices.

I conducted a small experiment and asked my colleague, who is interested in drawing, to try out the device and give her opinion. She enthusiastically began to draw from a photograph taken on one of her trips, but very quickly put her Apple Pencil aside and said the following: “I don’t really need it, here you can draw it all by hand in the program, some parts are probably more difficult.” than usual, but not fundamentally more difficult.” After chatting about this topic, I realized a simple thing: to draw, you don’t need a miracle device, you only need desire, and the choice of tool is secondary. The surface of the device cannot replace paper, its quality and other sensations, since it is not only the pencil, brush or paint that is important, it is how they interact with the paper and what result you get. In theory, it would be possible to emulate paper in software, but no one has done this yet.

All the software that I tried can be used with any stylus; the Apple device is extremely simple and does not have any special functions. Moreover, there is no integration into the operating system. And this puts an end to the most popular use cases that have emerged from the Note line in almost five years of its existence. For example, people often cut something out of pictures and send it by mail, adding annotations to such pictures. And on the same Note, this can be done in a matter of seconds, there is an option “write on the screen”, you instantly get a screenshot, which you decorate to the best of your ability. Or you can cut out a piece of a picture and simultaneously recognize the text on it, send both the picture and the text from it, in any language. But this is already such a high class that I won’t even talk about it, since Apple in this case looks like a poor relative. The key strength of the Note is the deep integration of the stylus into everything you can do on the device. It was created not only and not so much for those who draw, but for everyone who wants to gain new opportunities, and the device provides these opportunities to the fullest. It is possible that they are not always needed, but sometimes they are necessary and very useful.

What's with the stylus integration on MS Surface? Exactly the same story, at Microsoft, oddly enough, they understand that the stylus itself is not important, it is necessary to integrate it into the system, for example, to make it possible to launch OneNote with one click, enter handwritten text or drawings, and recognize all this. If necessary, erase without resorting to additional movements and pressing the button on the stylus. And on the same Surface Pro 4, the stylus is attached magnetically to the body, it can be carried along with the device. It turns out that Microsoft's engineers are much better than those at Apple, where they could not implement the simplest function, although they themselves came up with many chips with magnets during the time of Steve Jobs.

Also a slightly different level of software and binding of the stylus to the system. Why is this so? Probably the answer lies in what people think, why and why they do it, and to whom it might be important. They are working on use cases. At Apple, they don’t do this, but rest on their laurels. In fact, by copying other people's products, Apple brings nothing to them, and the implementation from an engineering point of view is the worst possible. Why is that? We relaxed, there is no owner inside the company who would monitor how everything should work.

It’s interesting how, with the release of the Apple Pencil, many “leading world publications” discovered this topic and began writing about it. And it doesn’t matter that dozens of styluses existed before, and the software initially supported them, including on the iPad. It doesn't matter that the only advantage of the Apple Pencil in the small stylus market is the name of the manufacturer, and not anything else. The main thing is that the company was able to create a myth that time after time it produces successful products that are needed by millions. And it doesn’t matter at all that the same watch didn’t take off and Apple doesn’t say anything about it in terms of real numbers. It doesn't matter that the iPad Pro is a very niche device with an idea that was stolen from Samsung and Microsoft, with a little bit of each. And it’s not so important that no one thought to charge a hundred dollars for a stylus. On the other hand, you have to pay for stupidity. Apple believes that stupidity is worth a hundred dollars. And it's the right price.

As an additional comment, a review of the Apple Pencil from our UI/UX design reader.

This accessory, like a drop of water, reflects where the company is going and how its helmsmen have relaxed and rested on their laurels. This is not the best product that Apple has released, however, over the past couple of years it is difficult for me to name something that would attract attention. Copying other people's ideas, poor implementation, but for now Apple can afford it. But the credit of trust is a rather fragile thing, it can disappear.

We thank UP-house.ru for providing the Apple pencil.
