And it was available in more than just black, too.And the Apple Newton's black pencil was doing it years before them...
But it's from Mr White! It's very believable when a Mr White posts something black...
I was afraid black color are slightly pricier than white one. Remember Space Gray Magic Keyboard / Mouse / Trackpad with black accents cost more?
First I thought great but then I realized I would probably loose it as often as the Apple TV remote
Apple might be told to “design every product in both white and black, otherwise it is a sign of white-supremacy”, so we will have black AirPods very soon.
Hey crazy, magical "innovation" can only occur so fast...Yet they still can't make black AirPods as an option
And the Apple Newton's black pencil was doing it years before them...
However, that abomination was a nowadays much despised stylus first and foremost, thoroughly discredited by Jobs, and NEVER again introduced, especially since the Pencil is not, not in a million years, a “Who wants a stylus?”, but a Pencil™ and a Pencil™ alone.
In conclusion:
If nitpicking -> proper nitpicking!
They should add more features to it. like using the other end of the pencil as an eraser or let the app or user decide what it should to. eg. textmarker.
These features have been supported on my crappy old wacom tablet and some hp / microsoft pens that I have seen in school.
ps: dont buy wacom tho. I had a horrible experience with their product

You’re nitpicking really hard here. It’s a composite plastic, of course it’s going to be somewhat slippery, but I really don’t think that’s an issue with the Apple Pencil, and if it was, we certainly would hear more about that, as it’s been around for years now. It’s small enough where someone should have a decent grip on it, but I definitely don’t think it’s to the point where Apple needs to ‘change the material’. I would question how is it even slipping out of your hand in the first place if you’re applying pressure to hold it when drawing/sketching/writing.
Only from Apple would the announcement of an existing product in a new color be "news." I'm willing to bet they don't call it "black" though... it's be the "space gray" Apple Pencil... you know, because of how gray space is.
I did hesitate for a moment before clicking send, but you know, the evil of the world doesn't go away but stopping humour. Jokes can bring peeps together. 🌈 🦄
The Apple Pencil is so frustrating. Im finding there are more things the Pencil can’t do than what it can do. Can’t swipe to go home, access control center, swipe pages in books, adjust multitask divider, force click, SCROLL IN A PDF, etc. It seems like such a lack of attention to detail which is surprising for this company. This is my first iPad and likely taking it back because I can’t stand the smudges all over the screen due to a lack of Pencil features for $129!
They haven't released a new iPad Pro yet. That would likely be the time we see a new pencil, if there is one.
