  • A large black ribbon cable unfurls from around the Pencil body, revealing what looks like a capacitative grid!

  • This is likely used to register tap inputs, but this grid ought to help the Pencil know where—not just when—you tap. Could more complex gestures be on the way?

  • Unfortunately, it's back to destruction from here—the Pencil's many welded steel layers put up quite a fight, and we're only able to reveal a few components.

  • Battery (even we don't want to tempt that little explosive)

  • Wireless charging coil

  • Alignment magnets

  • Broadcom BCM59358A0 wireless charging IC (likely)

  • Analog Devices 343S00250 Apple Pencil nib sensor controller (likely)

Ein breites schwarzes Flachbandkabel umgibt den Pencil, und darunter kommt etwas zum Vorschein, das wie ein kapazitives Raster aussieht!

Wahrscheinlich dient es zur Aufzeichnung von Eingaben durch Tippen, aber dieses Raster sollte es dem Pencil ermöglichen, genau festzustellen, wo, und nicht nur wann, du getippt hast. Öffnet das den Weg für komplexere Gesten?

Leider gibt es ab diesem Punkt nur noch die Methode der Zerstörung, die vielen verschweißten Stahlschichten des Pencil setzen sich ganz schön zur Wehr, so können wir nur ein par Komponenten ans Licht bringen:

Akku (nicht einmal wir wollen dieses explosive kleine Bauteil in Versuchung führen)

Kabellose Ladespule

Justierungsmagnete

Broadcom 59358A0 Touch Controller

Custom Apple 343S00250 IC
