All I want is an ERASER side on the back. Flip the pencil around, and it default to the program’s eraser tool. It blows my mind Apple hasn’t done this yet.

The double tap gesture to swap to eraser either doesn’t work reliability or is triggered on accident.

Id rather have an eraser back end and the double tap gesture customizable.

What about an Apple Pencil that works with the Apple Magic Trackpad? It's just surprising that this has been neglected by Apple.

Got the name right and here's hoping swappable magnetic tips are previewed tomorrow. That would make a huge difference for artists. The last feature would be improved sidecar so that ios & mac os apps could easily be shared but don't know about that one. For now, I'm happy enough that procreate is considering releasing a mac osx version.

Thanks👌Tips that provide a bit of friction for drawing without having to add a screen protector would be an instant buy for me.

I would love to have a pen feature that mimics a middle and a right mouse button click because I am hoping for more pro apps coming to the iPad.

[Candyroadarts]

It would be interesting to have an Apple Pencil that works on iPhones even without pressure sensitivity. That would look more interesting.

[luckyfernandasetiawan]

Maybe Apple Pencil “Pro” will feature presentation remote, so it makes you look pro😂

[truecuckoo]

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Vision Pro support for air drawing etc.

It sucks because the new Apple Pencil Pro is only capable with the new Apple iPad Airs and Pros, it’s not going to be capable with iPad mini 6 or even other older iPad models because I went & checked out the capability of the pencil pro and it’s only going to be capable with the upcoming iPad Air and iPad Pro that Apple is releasing soon.

[DaveCummings]

Oh if it’s compatible with my M2 iPad Pro AND has drawing improvements with the interchangeable tips and different style tips, then I’m definitely buying it

Hard to type due to Arthritis. This is a Must Have.

I have a question, I have m1 iPad Pro, Apple Pencil 2, so if I exchange my iPad Pro m1 to m3 iPad Pro, do I need the Apple Pencil 3? Or Apple Pencil 2 will work with iPad Pro m3?

In a new iPad Pro generation it would be awesome to see proper hand rejection. And to give developers full access to the touch screen sensitivity. Or maybe even 3D sensing screens. If the screen could read just 5 cm of 3D above the screen, it could make a much better estimate of what is touching the surface. Differently shaped brush tips, like actual bristles, could be interesting painting tools for next generation art creativity apps. Perhaps it’d be a battery hog, but I’ve kinda had it with the current palm rejection. It really isn’t very good as it is right now.

I don't want to be impolite, but is the lav mic audio sounding really off for anyone else?

[jaredharris]

How about a beep sound so if you misplace it go to find my and it will beep louder the closer to it u get

[mfolk]

I would love to see a pointer on one end or to be able to use it on the iPhone

[Ryan-rncf]

I’m new. What are you all talking about??? It’s fantastic! Apple Pencil 2 is a home run.

[brainguynyc]

If the new iPad Pros have a landscape FaceTime camera the new pencil will need to be charged differently. No?

[Parkerdraws]

I would love if they fucking fix the issue of it causing random lines on the iPad

[CheerupA]

Back in the day teachers would beat for holding a pen like that 😮
