A lot of people use ipads in their hands in place of paper. I’ve seen contstruction people, doctors, etc. walking around with them. It isn’t more efficient to use a keyboard when you have to put the ipad down, unfold a case, potentially pair a keyboard, etc.

Correct, for very short bursts of writing. A few words max. Past that point the on screen would be faster. And even then the ocr has to be flawless every time.

i'm sure they need it, most developer would do by scratch but when salesman need something quick to show off. Buyout the fastest way.. rather waste time few year re-invent the wheel.

Buying tech from a different company still requires integrating the codebase, and integrating the team that made it.

Bwahaha, are you kidding? It's 2020, and Apple finally catches up to Palm OS circa 1997.

Not sure what you're getting at here. It's not like Apple didn't have handwriting recognition in the 90s.

lol... I'm using magic keyboard 2 with numeric keypad Sir.

OK, great. Then please put some more time into coherent sentence structure.

Who knows maybe Apple Pencil support coming for next iPhone too

Some people take care of grammar very sensitively but for me kinda less and this MacRumors kindly not forcing it. It's all about content, not grammar structure which evolve and diff each country.

Handwriting recognition would be great, but a small Bluetooth keyboard is good also.

Not only that. Apple had real handwriting recognition that was far superior whilst Palm was still doing “Grafitti”.

Yup. (Well, to be fair, Apple’s Inkwell shipped prematurely and deservedly got a bad rep.)

But anyway, I can only assume OP never heard of the Newton?

I don't really have a great use for this, but if this could somehow work to convert to handwritten math to LaTeX then that would be insanely awesome.

Myscript Interactive ink STK and Myscript NEBO already do this

But I really really hope Apples OCR handwriting feature will be just as smoth and ejoyable as Myscripts Solution. (Who knows, maby apple bought their tech)
