Although late to offer a stylus on their products, the Apple Pencil is quickly becoming the stylus of choice for artists who want to create digital works directly on the iPad. The advantage of this stylus is pressure detection, tilt and comfortable to use. Now Patently Apple reports that the head of the Apple Pencil with an additional sensor that can detect color has been patented by Apple.
This optical sensor can be fixed on any colored surface, then the color of the object can be detected before it is then used in the drawing application used. This is the second time Apple has filed a color sensor patent with the first being in 2020.
No other stylus has similar features but previously several color scanner products have been offered through the biayasama site. With the patent having been filed twice, it is highly likely that Apple will introduce this feature on the third generation Apple Pencil soon as it has not been updated for almost four years.
