Jonathan Ive, Apple’s Chief Design Officer of Apple, has shared the story and vision of the Apple Pencil in an interview with Telegraph. The Apple Pencil was designed in companion with the iPad Pro, in an effort to replicate the natural feel of using a pencil/pen with paper. Ive says the decision to name the stylus Apple Pencil is an acknowledgment of how objects and instruments have evolved over hundreds of years. One of the key challenges faced was designing a writing instrument for use with iOS — an operating system that is mainly designed for fingers, not fine points. Ive hopes the team’s handwork will show when customers use the device. “We hoped if you are used to spending a lot of time using paintbrushes, pencils and pens, this will feel like a more natural extension of that experience – that it will feel familiar,” Ive says. “To achieve that degree of very simple, natural behaviour, was a significant technological challenge.”Share Article:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Email,   Reddit,   Digg,   Delicious,   StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Newsletter,   App Store,   YouTubeAdvertise Here
