And on iPad Pro, Apple Pencil hover shows you exactly where your Apple Pencil will touch down on your display, so you can write, sketch and illustrate with even greater precision. For now, I’m optimistic, it’s a nice add-on for sure. Apple Pencil sets the standard for how drawing, notetaking and marking up documents should feel intuitive, precise and magical.


I’ll get back to you on how the hovering dot actually changes my usage, if it indeed does that, eventually. I promise, that’s a hover dot, not a part of the imageįor now, the default Notes app is the place to play around with this. Of course, this requires the apps to get updates, something that’s due in Procreate, but not out there just yet. The obvious use case would be in a drawing app, altering stroke width on the fly, without having to draw and undo to find the right size: You’d just get it because the hovering dot shows you. Working with text using Scribble and Apple Pencil: hide. This is a shame because although seeing where you’re heading in such a clear and concise way as the hovering dot lets you do, the truly useful application of such a feature would be to alter that state. But you can also select and delete text as well as add space between words, sentences, or paragraphs. That doesn’t mean that I’m an illustrator, and I don’t do a lot of drawing these days. I use it for note-taking, as you probably know by now, as well as sketching and, at times, design work.
