Apple Pencil 2?

[MadeByApple]

The Apple pencil seems huge compared to other stylus out there. I keep wondering why apple made it so big [long].

Came across this interesting article today. It looks like the pen could potentially end up with some sort of taptic feedback in the future. That could possibly explain the extra length of the pen.

Yeah, I came across it late...

this article was published before the pencil was announced. Apple usually has future generations in the works after a product is launched. Taptic feedback in the pen could still happen.

Let's talk about Pencil 1 first. But yes, 2 will probably be shorter.

Can't wait for the teardown - I'll bet a significant chunk of that pencil is battery!

Maybe Apple is doing a favor for a conductor
