All iPads What are advantages of pressure sensitive display?

[satchmo]

A recent rumour here says Apple has been looking into pressure sensitive screens for future devices. Current iPad's have a capacitive displays and lack this feature.

I recently tried a Samsung tablet with a built-in Wacom digitizer and it was pretty cool for drawing and sketching.
I know it's a bit of a niche market as not everyone is an artist.

But what other advantages are there to a pressure sensitive screen besides drawing?

Games could use it. It could replicate analog pressure sensitive buttons like on the PS3 and PS4 controllers.

I thought the Wacoms' pressure sensitivity was in the stylus, not the screens.

maybe for note taking? lets you rest your hand on the screen without intreating on the screen so you can write with a stylus or something.

Probably lots of things, like better detection of false presses (for example if your palm brushes the tablet or something) and also in the future when actual haptic feedback (being able to feel the buttons etc on the screen) becomes a reality.
