Jailbreak hack adds 3D Touch to Apple Pencil/iPad Pro


Benjamin Mayo for 9 to 5 Mac:

By hooking relevant parts of the iOS system code via a jailbreak, detailed here on GitHub, iOS turns pressure data from Apple Pencil into pressure data for 3D Touch interactions. This is neat for two reasons: iPad Pro does not normally support 3D Touch (a feature currently exclusive to iPhone 6s) and its an unorthdox use for the Apple Pencil sensors, which is generally focused on drawing and sketching.

While it does require a jailbreak on the iPad Pro, this is seems nifty utilizing the Apple Pencil in this way.
