<article> <section class="page"> <p>What does the future hold for the Apple Pencil? Perhaps you’ll use it with your Mac.</p><p>On Tuesday, Apple was granted a new patent (http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=9,400,570&OS=9,400,570&RS=9,400,570) that would make it possible for future versions of the Apple Pencil to work with Magic Trackpads on the Mac. According to Patently Apple (http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2016/07/apple-wins-patent-for-apple-pencil-working-with-future-magic-trackpad-3-for-macs.html), Apple originally filed for this patent in 2014; right now, the Apple Pencil can only be used with the iPad Pro, both the 12.9-inch model and the 9.7-inch model. </p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3100362/macs/next-gen-apple-pencil-could-work-with-mac-trackpads-and-be-used-as-a-gaming-joystick.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Next-gen Apple Pencil could work with Mac trackpads and be used as a gaming joystick (http://www.macworld.com/article/3100362/macs/next-gen-apple-pencil-could-work-with-mac-trackpads-and-be-used-as-a-gaming-joystick.html#tk.rss_all) |
