The new Apple Pencil Pro comes with a subtle but surprising new feature.
The Pencil Pen was launched on May 7 at the “Let Loose” event alongside the new iPad Pro and iPad Air M4. Apple showed off the capabilities of the new Pencil Pro, but a recent TikTok revealed another feature that highlights the tech giant’s attention to detail.
A designer called Oliur posted a video online showing how the Pencil Pro casts an artificial shadow on an iPad depending on the tool selected, mimicking the shadow of a real pen that a user would choose.
In the viral video, the creator chose a fountain pen to write on, and a shadow of the pen could be seen on the iPad’s screen as he brought the stylus closer to the new OLED display.
“It’s so ridiculous and so over-the-top, but it’s so Apple too,” Oliur said.
It’s unclear whether the detail is only present in graphic design software Procreate, where artists can tap the Pencil Pro’s body to bring up shortcuts to a range of tools, such as brushes, a marker, and more.
The new stylus starts at $129 and features “Find My” compatibility.
Apple did not immediately respond to Business Insider’s request for comment.
