Apple could soon launch a simple stylus that will come with a Pro version of its 12.9-inch iPad tablet, an Apple enthusiast site reported.
In its report, AppleInsider said Apple is also working on an advanced version that will support 3D handwriting.
"Given that it's more precise than a person's fingers, a stylus can be
more convenient to use than the combination of keyboard and mouse in
some cases. Therefore, we believe Apple's stylus will improve the user
experience of 12.9-inch iPad," it quoted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI
Securities as saying.
It also said Apple could launch the stylus in the second quarter of 2015.
But AppleInsider also noted Kuo did not cite any particular source for
this, though he has had "close ties to Apple's supply chain partners."
Citing Kuo, it said Apple may likely launch the stylus as an optional add-on, then base its actions on consumer feedback.
Bells and whistles
Meanwhile, AppleInsider quoted Kuo as saying the initial stylus will be
a simple one, with new features likely added in the future.
Kuo said Apple could add a gyroscope accelerometer "to write not only on the display, but also on other hard surfaces and even in the air." — Joel Locsin/TJD, GMA News
