Apple Pencil Pro specifications

The Apple Pencil Pro offers a couple of new functionalities for adapting the stylus to different creative and casual tasks like note-taking, sketching, annotating, journaling, and more. It supports a squeeze gesture that brings up a new palette allowing users to quickly switch tools, line weights, and colours without interrupting the process. A new sensor in the barrel assists in sensing a user's squeeze. It supports double tap to switch between tools as well.

Further, Apple has packed a new gyroscope on the Pencil Pro that allows users to rotate the device. Rotating the barrel changes the orientation of shaped pen and brush tools and Apple Pencil hover lets users visualise the orientation of a tool before making a mark. It carries a custom haptic engine for providing a light pulse confirming actions like squeeze, double tap, or snap to a Smart Shape.
