Apple pencil

[iruinedyourday]

as an artist and someone who has bought and returned nearly every wacom cintiq they've made I am looking forward to this new "pencil" and welcome our fruit and vegetable overlords.

I cant imagine drawing on a tablet with a stylus would be nearly as rewarding as painting or drawing with actual medium, but what do I know i cant draw or paint for shit.

every game you play is made with a wacome tablet or a cintiq and zero canvas art.

Unless youre playing some extremely indi game made by some wierdo in thier country home out in michagen or something.

its all like this now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIxyFlq1Ou0

That said, Ive worked next to guys working on VR and they are sitting there at thier desks with headsets on.. and THAT is the future of digital production.. no more physical monitors, just one headset and a VR world of like 20 monitors taht can be any size and fully 3 dimensional

I cant wait omg

*edit* oh hey side note! Some friends of mine made this! IT started in thier bedroom as an idea.. I dont think it will be production ready or that this perticular application is the future of how VR will be used for digital production, but its still cool none the less! its a start. https://vimeo.com/138790270

Valid points. And LOL at that "HD touch", no wonder apple called it "3D touch". Glad they innovated that pencil and screen!

with apple you arent buying the technology, youre buying the brand. its common knowledge that you could get better designed crap for half the price.

Pretty much, brand is such a waste. Shit, my dollar store shirts have lasted longer than my 40+ dollar shirts and i dont even work in brand crap

Just make one. I can confirm that the sponge tipped one works, as that's the only one I've made.

Capacitive touch and a digitizer pen are two completely different things. Apple is just realizing their overpriced crap needs a real pen to compete with some of the things surface does.

staffpad is one expample of an app which will never work on an apple ipad without a digitizer.

This buying the brand shit is nonsense. You guys obviously have not held a macbook.. its in another league than all other laptops.

Some computer nerds think that the only thing that matters is whats inside the computer. But if they realized that some people prefer to pay for other shit, like how something feels physically or looks, then they might understand.

I am by no means an apple cult follower but if you are going to sit there and say that apple products 'suck' then you are just a non-apple cult follower..

I tried a non iPhone once before, and that was stupid. I was like cool I want to play some sweet games.. oh there are just a little bit over, "none".. so I got an iphone and have a fine piece of technology that makes no fucking difference to me comparatively to all other smart phones, except i think its physical design is much cleaner and worth whatever extra I might have to pay AND i have access to like thousands of great time wasting games.

that and it lasts as long as my contract does every time, and I upgrade to a new one every 2 years when thev'ye made significant changes and I get one for 100$.

If i were to say the average apple hater vs the average apple lover all had something in common with each other is, apple lovers are normal people and apple haters are fedora wearing contrarians that think theyre smarter than everyone YIKES if Random is on your side, time to jump ship!

Basically its a product. Its got some clear value to it that other products don't have. You are not simply buying a brand.

The only reason not to go apple is either A becuse you want to encrouage compeition, or B becuse you are a hardware tinkerer and you need an open source OS to create your own wierd glitchy phone customised something or other tricorder homebrew thing.

Sorry but the brand thing is just non-apple cult fanaticism.

I dont disagree with most of what you said, but you are paying a surcharge for the brand.... the cost of the hardware vs the selling price is substantial.

no doubt they charge more than the competition.. but Im not "buying a brand" Im buying a product that happens to cost more than the competition because primarily of design & feel.

I run windows 99% of the time on my macbook pro. But it was worth it.

Also one thing I left out. I have zero interest in going to websites and reading about what the best new router is and what type of signal degradation bla bla.. I dont care.

I just want to plug my stuff in and not think about it.. apple does this 100% of the time.. non apple products are a web of manual adjustments that I have no interest in.

So I'm paying extra for that too.

I'm with you - I bought my android so i could mod it etc, but I dont give a damn about that crap anymore, the older I get, the less I want to tinker, and the more I want it to just work. I will give them credit, my iphone and macbook just work, without issue, and are very easy to maintain / support. That is worth a premium, in my opinion.
