THE USBC APPLE PENCIL IS WEIRD 🤨👀

Apple just announced a brand new Apple Pencil with a cheaper price point, sliding USB-C charging port, no wireless charging and no pressure sensitive tip

This thing is clearly aimed at education or enterprise as a cheaper alternative but the way it charges and the relatively high price is somewhat confusing still

I don’t think we really need new iPads every month lol

[Quoi.Phoque]

The pressure sensitive tip was the only selling point for many users

[ThyGuy]

Now they gonna sell us an apple eraser 😅

Steve jobs would be angry if he saw his company.

Bro 💀 Literally my $25 alternative can do that. Type c charging. Palm rejection.

[kristophxr]

Apple is just trolling its customers at this point 😂

“Your finger is the stylus”
“This is more than a stylus because of all these features”
“Here is our fancy stylus again but we removed the premium features and we are still going to take your fist born”

Those who just watched the apple speical event…
Nobody
Apple:
Pencil Pro

[jayeshchandra]

Double tap and pressure sensitive and easy wireless charging is main reason to purchase it

This pencil is not for artists, this is for the kids in school that only do writing with it, but it's still not recommended, a cheaper 20$ one would do the same job.

“We did this for cost saving measures”
Also apple: it’s more expensive than the last one.

Teacher:”we have a test today”
Kid:”I have to get my pencil out…
OH NO I FORGOT TO CHARGE IT!!”

[itswavo]

Removing wireless charging as a “cost saving measure” is such an Apple thing to do. I bought a cheap pencil on amazon that does the exact same thing as this one but also includes wireless charging for less than $15. The excuses they will make to deceive customers and improve profit margins are insane.

[ojcubz]

They're daft, the pressure sensitive tip is literally the only reason someone would buy an apple pencil 🤦

[ExodiumTM]

Apple cult on their way to purchase every needlessly overpriced product in existence

[realsmoothjazz]

Apple could release smart water, put it in a titanium bottle, charge $500, print “designed by Apple in California” and y’all will still buy it 🤦🏾

[flamexpyrus]

Basically a normal stylus with an apple price tag.

[TheWisdomGhost]

As someone who has the 2nd gen Apple Pencil.. THERE IS A DOUBLE TAP FEATURE?!

[kindofanmol]

Apple Hypnotics truly fascinate me of the lengths they'd go to defend this greedyass trillion-dollar corporation. This pencil is quite literally a scam.

[onemorechris]

there shouldn’t be 3 different pencils. this is needlessly confusing.
