Steve Jobs didn’t want a stylus, but he may have been an advo- cate for this device. Not only does Apple Pencil work with your hands, but also it takes what you can already do with your hands and makes it more precise. The Apple Pencil seems wonderful, but my only criticism is that the pencil doesn’t work with other iPads. I know I could do more with my iPad if I had the capability to take notes on it with the pencil rather than the touchscreen keyboard. I also would love to have the markup functionality that comes with the Apple Pencil, so I could easily edit my documents on the iPad. If the Apple Pencil worked with other iPads, I would have eas- ily shelled out $99 for the accessory. But, the iPad Pro is the only device the pencil is compatible with right now and it is priced starting at $799. Overall, the two devices combined end up being around $900, which is too much money for me to spend on technology I know I would not use to its full capability. If Apple produced a smaller iPad Pro with affordable pricing for average users, like college students, I think the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil would be widespread on college campuses. Right now, the accessory appeals on a small scale, but once Ap- ple opens up the possibilities of the Apple Pencil, it may become ERIC RISBERG | AP PHOTO a “stylus” phenomenon even Jobs would have wanted.
