At Apple’s “Let Loose” event on May 7, the new M4 iPad Pro and iPad Air were launched alongside the Apple Pencil Pro. One of the most surprising new features of the Pencil Pro was revealed in a viral TikTok video by designer Oliur. In the video, Oliur demonstrated how the Pencil Pro casts a shadow over the iPad screen based on the tool selected, mimicking the shadow of a real pen.
This feature is particularly unique as it allows users to see what they are writing with on the screen, even if they are using tools that do not have a direct shadow effect. The video showcased how this feature works best with fountain pen tools, where a shadow of the pen can be seen on the screen as Oliur wrote with the Pencil Pro.
In addition to this unique feature, users can also squeeze the Apple Pencil Pro to open a tool palette on the new iPads. This attention to detail highlights Apple’s commitment to delivering innovative and user-friendly products. The new Apple Pencil Pro starts at $129 and is compatible with the “Find My” app. While Apple has yet to comment on this feature specifically, it showcases their dedication to creating products that go above and beyond customer expectations.
