Disney Artists Go Hands-On With Upcoming iPad Pro and Apple Pencil
Apple today sent a few iPad Pros over to Disney, where Disney animators were able to use them alongside the Apple Pencil to test out the iPad Pro's drawing and sketching capabilities in a professional environment.
Disney Story Artist Jeff Ranjo shared a Periscope that demonstrates the iPad Pro in action, and several images of the Disney team's drawings were shared on Twitter. The Disney team was using a beta version of popular drawing app Procreate, which has been updated to work with the iPad Pro, and an iPad Pro version of Paper by Fiftythree was also shown off.
In the Periscope, Ranjo was impressed with the grip of the iPad Pro's screen when used with the Pencil, and he also was a fan of the palm rejection features. When drawing on an iPad Pro, the palm of a hand can be rested on the screen, but it's still responsive to zoom gestures. At the end of the video, which is well worth watching to see the iPad in action, he says "Let's order a bunch of them."
Several additional photos were shared by Disney Product Manager Paul Hildebrandt. Disney Story Artist Paul Briggs used the iPad Pro to sketch Olaf from the movie Frozen, while longtime Disney artist Paul Felix drew classic Disney character Mickey Mouse.
Apple's iPad Pro, Pencil, and Smart Keyboard will launch in November. Apple has not yet provided an exact release date for the new tablet, but recent rumors have suggested it could debut early in the month.

Personally, I'd way rather the Surface Pro 4.
For all this money, I'll take the far greater flexibility.

I was planning on getting one until several minutes later when they revealed 3D Touch for the iPhone 6s. Once you've used 3D Touch, it's hard to go back to not having it. Releasing a brand new flagship product without the latest tech is a big mistake.

Funny that Microsoft took a jab at the pencil for not having an "Eraser"... And in this video the artist tries to turn it over to realize there's no eraser... But I don't see how flipping the device over in your hand and then flipping it back over is much more convenient than just pressing an erase button on the screen... Also there's no way they're going to double the precision and sensors in the 1/2 cm thick blunt end anyway so why get a worse tool for erasing than you have for drawing?

It's great to see these are out in the wild, getting more than just the typical beta testing. I'm really excited to see the capabilities of the iPad pro and this pencil. Would be really nice to see Apple give us a release date, but I expect it'll be the end of November. That said, it would make sense for them to give us an idea, so people can plan holiday shopping accordingly. :)

Didn't they just do that for Pixar recently too?
Yup.

I kind of find this funny... and could see a parody of it being made where Apple introduces the Apple iPaper and iPencil and lets the artists at Disney test out the new products by drawing a picture on paper with their pencil. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I would bet that if Apple branded a plain ole piece of paper as Apple's new iPaper... there will be some of you who will buy it and think it is 'amazing', 'powerful', 'brilliant' and 'advanced'.
Cool story, bro.
