Jony Ive on the Apple Pencil


Ive in an interview with Wallpaper:

What we found is that there's clearly a group of people that would value an instrument that would enable then to paint or draw in ways that you just can't with your finger. And I suspect that this isn't a small group of people. I don't think it's confined to those of us who went to art school.

I don't fit into that group, but the Pencil is kind of neat and after tinkering with various iPad stylus designs for the last five years I can appreciate how seamless it does work. It's responsive and the palm rejection seems to work very well. Basically as if you were writing on paper.
