iPadOS 17.5 Beta Potentially References New Apple Pencil and 'Squeeze' Gesture

[cBraunDesign]

The number of times I've flipped the pencil around and tried to use the back end to erase is comical. The tapping gesture is more annoying than anything else. Just give it two unique ends!

Apple Pencil is great with my M2 iPad Pro 12.9". Hopefully the new Pencil has both ends functional.

The pencil was really bad from day 1, at least for a non-artist like me who just wanted to be productive with it. It's been sitting in my giant pile of e-junk for years.

All this would be very funny and fun.

I have the Apple Pencil for my iPad Pro m2 released in 2022 and its "incredible Apple Pencil hover function".
->
1. There are still applications such as Goodnotes or Notability that are not compatible with this function (for writing it is essential...). In fact, Goodnotes "encourages" you to disable this option in Settings because if not, it doesn't write well in its application...
2. When I approach xx millimeters my Apple Pencil starts writing WITHOUT TOUCHING THE SCREEN!!! This creates false writings for me when I start writing. This happens even with the native "Apple Notes" application.

Incredible problems that neither Apple nor anyone else have solved after almost 2 years of release....

It will squeeze your wallet alright, for a new iPad and Pencil.

Expecting this feature to work only with the latest iPads. Expecting Apple to keep the price same with the new Pencil.

OMG. It doesn't need a squeeze function. It just needs a flip-to-use-eraser function.
