It's a shame Apple don't extend the same creativity to their product design, which is just either shades of plain metal box or white plastic at this point.
 
I am not going to say anything bad about some hard-working person's design efforts. Hey, but I do have a better idea. Next time hold a design school contest and hire the winner.🍸😸
 
I wonder what they paid the company to come up with these (cough cough) specially designed boxes. They could have dropped the cost of the pencil if the boxes where plain.
 
Unapologetically boxy.

“We used the finest wood pulp from sustainable trees grown to Apple’s specifications to create a cardboard that’s smooth to the touch, accepts vibrant colors and is machined to micrometer perfection. Just look at the gorgeous, rounded edges of the lid and the way the box creates a vacuum when you open it due to the exceptionally tight design tolerances we’ve demanded.

It’s more than a box. It’s magical. We think you’re going to love it for the full five seconds before you toss it in the recycle bin.”
 
Can't get stickers in the box any longer, but this waste of ink and energy is somehow a okay....
 
Just go to a store and pick the one you want.

There are 2 tiers of Pencil Pro, the first one has a weaker haptic and the barrel roll only works up to 10 degrees. You need Pencil Pro Pro for > 10 degrees barrel roll, but that only works with the 1TB and 2TB SKUs.
