Accessory just for iPad Pro, the Smart Keyboard

by Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2015 5:28:03 PM
Smart Keyboard. FINALLY.

by Scott Stein via CNET 9/9/2015 5:28:07 PM
This looks a lot like ht e Microsoft Surface

"Covered in Apple woven fabric."

by Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2015 5:28:23 PM
"Inside is a new Apple dome switch we pioneered with the MacBook."

by Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2015 5:28:35 PM
Unfolds, like smart cover. Woven fabric, unfolds, physical keyboard underneath. Keys use similar mechanisms to new MacBook.

"So how do you attach the smart keyboard to the iPad Pro. If you look closely, there are three new circles on the side of the iPAd Pro. New connector technology called the Smart Connecter. Carries power and data and connects magnetically."

by Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2015 5:28:59 PM
"Software in iOS 9 automatically adapts and changes because it knows you want to use the smart keyboard."

by Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2015 5:29:15 PM
by James Martin via CNET 9/9/2015 5:29:19 PM
"Let's talk about drawing."

by Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2015 5:29:23 PM
Ah- those circles on side weren't buttons: it was a magnetic Smart Connector, carries power and data, iOS 9 adapts and uses peripheral. Wonder what other peripherals will arrive next.

by Scott Stein via CNET 9/9/2015 5:29:31 PM
"Customers have created amazing works of art, drawing on their iPads with their fingers."

by Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2015 5:29:35 PM
"But iPad Pro is going to enable new classes of applications that require even greater precision than was available before."

Keyboard looks great, but very familiar to what's out there from Microsoft. That's not a bad thing at all.

by Scott Stein via CNET 9/9/2015 5:29:59 PM
"We're so happy to introduce to you another accessory, especially for the iPad Pro."

by Shara Tibken edited by Michelle Meyers 9/9/2015 5:30:04 PM
Called Apple Pencil

by Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2015 5:30:07 PM
A stylus. Hell must have frozen over. haha

by Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2015 5:30:15 PM
Time for a video

Apple Pencil: so I guess it's not a "stylus"

by Scott Stein via CNET 9/9/2015 5:30:27 PM
by James Martin via CNET 9/9/2015 5:30:43 PM
"When you're using the pencil, the system scans twice as often,"

by Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2015 5:31:07 PM
by James Martin via CNET 9/9/2015 5:31:23 PM
"Can press lightly or harder to get a bolder stroke."

by Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2015 5:31:31 PM
More accuracy, responsive sensors notice position, force, tilt. This seems like direct shot to any Wacom tools

by Scott Stein via CNET 9/9/2015 5:31:40 PM
"Signals emitted from two places in the tip let make shaded strokes"

by Shara Tibken edited by Michelle Meyers 9/9/2015 5:31:41 PM
by James Martin via CNET 9/9/2015 5:31:43 PM
Graphic designers, sound off: does this tempt you?

by Scott Stein via CNET 9/9/2015 5:31:51 PM
by James Martin via CNET 9/9/2015 5:31:59 PM
While its battery lasts for hours of use, a Lightening adapter lets you recharge by plugging directly into the iPad Pro

by Shara Tibken edited by Michelle Meyers 9/9/2015 5:32:20 PM
Has its own battery, but recharges via Lightning directly w iPad Pro.

"It delivers something extraordinary. Precision that actually gives you the ability to touch a single pixel"

by Shara Tibken edited by Michelle Meyers 9/9/2015 5:32:43 PM
Existing capacitive stylus options really lacked accuracy: this helps for serious use.

Ok video is done

by Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2015 5:32:47 PM
Schiller back up

by Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2015 5:32:59 PM
It...does look kind of like a pencil.

by Scott Stein via CNET 9/9/2015 5:33:06 PM
"The Apple Pencil is absolutely amazing."

by Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2015 5:33:06 PM
"They've done a remarkable job. Customers are going to feel it."

by Shara Tibken via CNET 9/9/2015 5:33:23 PM
Apple's built-in apps will work with it. Mail"
