A gyroscope in the new Apple Pencil Pro
This is the most significant update Apple’s stylus has had in years. The Apple Pencil Pro features a new gyroscope sensor in the pencil’s barrel, so you can turn it and squeeze it for interaction. Apple calls it a “barrel roll,” which brings the Star Fox meme to mind. There’s haptic feedback when you move and place things on the iPad screen, and you can hover to interact with windows in the new Procreate for iPad. The Apple Pencil Pro will also have Find My, in case the stylus rolls behind the couch cushions and you can’t find it. It costs $130.
