Apple Pencil to Ship With Adapter for Charging With Lightning Cable

Sorry, you're a week late with that idea...

Yes Yes Yes I know lol, thank you. Several posters have made me aware of my faux pas.

As I stated, it made sense to me immediately when I saw it too lol. I must confess, however, that on this rare occasion I posted in haste with my comment a priori reading all the pages in the discussion post; leading naturally for me to claim an idea already recommended by many lol. As such, I will attempt to refrain from claiming any novel ideas as my own until being emphatically sure they are in fact "my own."

At any rate, much better idea here!

I thnk though it was important. Because a week late, a week early, a month late, a month early.

nearly almsot EVERYONE eventually came to the same conclusion. That their were far better ideas than the one Apple implemented, with far less compromise.

I usually laugh at people who say this. And I've never said it that I can recall.

But I truly think that this is absolutely an implementation that Steve Jobs would never have let out the door. He would have taken one swift look at how it looked sticking out the bottom and said "find a better way".

Tim Cook is an accountant, supply line guy. And this implementation feels like the product of that. "make it the cheapest, so that it just works"

Have to agree. And for what it's worth, if you actually take the time to review my comments, posts, and replies, I am "never that guy" who says I have a better idea than an Apple engineer or can do things better or my way is better, etc. I am obviously a consumer, a prosumer at that mind you lol, but alas a consumer none the less: not a professional engineer, not a designer, not a marketing director, nor am I a sales strategist with direct access to millions of customers and supporting data/documentation to back my decisions, thoughts, and ideas. This was a singular case however and an idea that I saw immediately, not eventually hahah. But, as noted, one time is all it takes as I have learned my lesson.

I do think alike though regarding Mr. Jobs. If you are concerned on a macro level about now consumers will feel about new products then the details at the micro level must be properly sorted before launch; something I confess in agreement that with the pencil, I believe Mr. Jobs would have ensured it was more accurately positioned before launch.
