Apple Pencil Navigation Functionality to Return in Next iOS 9.3 Beta

[sofila]

Just release an iPad Pro 9.7" with the extra RAM, faster clock speed, Apple Pencil Support, and smart connector. Price it at $699 for 32GB and $799 for 128GB and there's a good chance I'll upgrade to that at some point. Make it slightly thicker with extra battery and a USB-C port for limited accessory capability through the App Store with the ability to move content back and forth from external drives and I'm buying it immediately. Also we need pro apps, led by Apple as an example, to show everyone else what is possible.

I hope for you to get what you want, but it looks you just covered almost 3 new iPad releases

.....While possible, the actual provided explanation seems no less (if not more) likely.

But why was the function removed from the earlier Beta in the first place? Do you believe that was an oversight?

I'm salivating at your suggestions.....

Well, it seems like they pulled it out temporarily to do something with it before putting it back in. And even if it wasn't that, given that it's all simply been during the beta stage, even an oversight would be well within the realm of not just a possibly but even a probability.

This one thing proves the worth of a beta program.

It's possible that Apple might be reading these posts or perhaps simply some media articles, but it certainly doesn't prove anything in particular.

You say it's possible a lot in this thread and in the other one. I think it goes without saying. We'll likely never know.

Thank you Apple! You had me worried for a bit!!

Right, which means that we can't prove anything, which is what I was commenting on. I say that, but it doesn't seem to just go without saying given various things some others say.

Okay, but I don't think that's the problem here.

I'm not sure why you think there is a problem. I did not claim "beta versions must be functionally complete therefore anything missing from a beta proves that Apple are planning to remove it" - just that that its a reasonable assumption to make. Even accepting Apple's statement, they confirm that they deliberately disabled the feature for that release (which should have been documented in the beta release notes).
