  • Taking a nosedive into the Pencil, we start at the nib, which comes off quietly with a few quick twists.

  • A peek inside reveals a tiny metal bit sunk deeply into the tip, presumably to get as close to the screen as possible.

  • This likely connects to one of the two emitters in the tip that allow the iPad Pro to determine the Pencil's angle and orientation relative to the display, and adjust the pen stroke accordingly.

  • The digitizer on an iPad Pro should be able to determine the distance from each emitter to the screen—and from that calculate the angle of the Pencil relative to the iPad.

Um einen Blick in den Pencil zu bekommen, fangen wir mit der Spitze an, welche mit ein paar Drehungen lautlos abgedreht werden kann.

Ein kurzer Blick hinein zeigt einen winzigen Metallstab, der weit in die Gummispitze reicht, vermutlich um so nah an den Bildschirm zu kommen wie möglich.

Diese berührt vermutlich eine der zwei Emitter in der Spitze, welche dem iPad Pro ermöglichen, den Winkel und die Orientierung des Pencils relativ zum Bildschirm zu bestimmen und den Stiftstrich entsprechend anzupassen.

Der Digitizer des iPad Pros sollte die Entfernung von den beiden Emittern zum Bildschirm ermitteln können- und von dieser dann den relativen Winkel des Pencils zum Bildschirm berechnen können.
