Since Apple launched the Apple Pencil to work together with the Pro, both of 12.9 and 9.7-inch iPad, has been much speculation about the possibility that the Cupertino-based company could offer support for this device may be used directly on the trackpad which the company sells as an accessory independently for the Mac. But until the time not had had no confirmation official to the respect of that Apple had plans to the respect. But the latest patent that has registered the company seems to confirm that if it will be possible in the future.
The Office of patents and trademarks of the United States has recently published a list with the last 32 patents granted to the company Apple. In particular between all that we can find, he highlighted one related to Apple Pencil. In the description of the patent can see as the Apple Pencil could be used in joint with versions future of trackpad, by what them users current of the second generation, that Apple launched the year last, not van to to make it until again Apple renew the accessory. If we consider what it takes to renew it, you could expect about five or six years quietly.
Apple Pencil could be used control applications using gestures in the air, allow you to control the slides of the Keynote application but in addition will also allow us to use it as if it were a joystick, act as if it were a sword and much more. It would be interesting that Apple could add all these new newly patented features to the current trackpad, but as all patent and registered doesn’t mean that they will reach the market quickly, if it is finally making it, because many of them are only recorded to protect themselves from other companies that may have the same idea.
