Reply to apple pencil won’t connect

I am seeing what appears to be the same issue. I have an iPad Pro 12.9 2020 (4th Gen) The installation of iPad OS 17.3 cause the pencil to stop connecting and was no longer recognised. (Although snapping it to the case, still gets the Pencil notification) None of the usual remedies work. Restarting, resetting network settings, unpairing/repairing. Tried them all. Bluetooth will not connect to the pencil at all. This is a brand-new 2nd Gen Pencil - with a matte finish and was working prior to 17.3 This is where it gets weird... I also happen to have a (slightly damaged) older 2nd Gen Pencil - this seemingly identical pencil has a slightly smoother finish and was bought in 2020. The older pencil continues to work fine. But the new pencil is unrecognised. This makes me think the OS update included the support for one version of the pencil but not the more recent. I just installed the iPad OS 17.4 Beta to see if this would resolve th

Reply to Apple Pencil Pairing Issues

Had the exact same issue. A brand new Apple Pencil would only pair for a short period of time and then would disconnect. I tried the hairdryer hack - held the pencil under it for 2 minutes. And magic - the Pencil was detected with 0% battery (I assume it was an old stock since it was a gift purchased on eBay, hence why the battery was ded). It’s now paired and connected. Thank you to the kind humans that shared this hack - you’re going straight to heaven, no question.

Will Apple charge me 30% commission on B2B client fees for app downloads?

I am developing an app that I am providing as a managed service to B2B clients. One of my business model options is not to charge users of the app for downloads, but instead to record the number of downaloads and bill my B2B clients for the number of downloads on a monthly basis. MY QUESTION IS - in this scenario, will Apple charge me the standard 30% commission on the fees I will earn from my B2B clients?Thanks in advance for useful answers!

Reply to iOS 14 Beta 3 Bluetooth issue

It seems like lots of people are having problems, and I know it's a beta but most of my problems lie in my iPad Pro (2019) and my second generation pencil. I'm a graphic designer and didn't want to update but since my phone did my iPad did and now I haven't been able to use my pencil for 4 days. Not great. I've looked for everything online and haven't found a thing and my apple appointment isn't for 2 weeks. It's crazy because all that shows on my iPad is unavailable even after resetting everything. Pencil is connected to the side of iPad. I don't get how it could be unavailable. So Apple maybe some help?

How much does Apple charge for free apps hosted on the app store?

Doing some ground work on an entrpreneur project and trying to understand the variable cost of an app. For distribution costs, does Apple charge for a free app? App is similar to other P2P payment apps with the revenue coming as a % of money paid to other users. thanks all

Is it Apple or Wacom or both at this point?

Reply to Apple Pencil not charging from iPad Pro? iOS 10.3

Found the fix that worked for me:1) Settings->Bluetooth2) Swipe Delete the Apple Pencil paring3) Plug-in your Pencil to establish a new paring problem solved. Seems like the new update clobbered the paired devices like iOS 8 did. May have to delete all pairings And start again.

Reply to Sidecar showing "no devices" with compatible devices

Hi all,it seems like I found the problem when I was browsing a german blog that noticed, that only iPads supporting the Apple Pencil are supported. I know, some early betas of Catalina and iPad OS worked with my iPad 5th generation BUT it doesn't support the Apple Pencil.. Seems like support for those iPads got kicked out of Sidecar..Very sad and angered about that

Drawing Pad & Pencil for MacBook and iMac Computers

Hello my fellow apple enjoyers my name is Jackson. I have an idea to share with you today that utilises existing apple hardware as well as slightly designing a new product. My idea is a sketch pad for MacBooks / iMacs, this idea will include a digital sketch pad that can connect to your computer via Bluetooth or wire, possibly varying in sizes (maybe a 10x10 inch and a more rectangle one) and it will let you to use the Apple Pencil to allow you to sketch notes, draw and use with Adobe programs such as photoshop, premiere pro, light room and after effects Just a simple idea that I think would be awesome to see come to life and will be an awesome product for the more creative people that like the bigger iPad Pro and pencil combos!

Reply to Using Pencil with iOS 10 beta 1

I'm having issues with my Apple Pencil on my 12.9 iPad Pro as well. I subitted a bug report on the issue. What happens for me is very annoying, the pencil will connect and work for a bit, then randomly disconnect and it may reconnect a few minutes later or it may not. I hope this gets fixed in beta 2.

Critical Rendering Bug in PencilKit on iPad with "More Space" Display Mode & Apple Pencil Hover Interaction

There is a significant rendering issue in PencilKit when using an iPad set to More Space display mode, combined with an Apple Pencil that supports hover functionality (e.g., Apple Pencil 2). This problem affects all applications that use PencilKit, including Apple's own Notes and Quick Note. The issue results in flickering black borders and subtle jittering while drawing, which is especially noticeable during tasks requiring precise handwriting, such as writing mathematical expressions. Due to the short strokes and frequent lifts and drops of the pencil, the jitter is much more pronounced, leading to visual discomfort and even dizziness after extended use. Steps to Reproduce: Open Settings on your iPad. Navigate to Display & Brightness > Display Zoom > More Space. Switch to the More Space display mode. Open the Notes app or trigger Quick Note from any application by swiping from the bottom-right corner. Start drawing or writing using the Apple
