Anything about possible support for Apple Pencil Pro in VisionOS ?
I think it’s coming at wwdc. Gyros and haptics are overkill for iPad only support.

The last 3-4 betas showed the same issues as being fixed in their Release Notes, as if nothing was done. But I did notice that the AVP performs a lot better in the dark. Before I had to turn on my watch to give it some light to calibrate in order for it to work. Lately, if I cover the sensor by mistake and get the error saying "There's not enough light..." it recovers by itself very quickly and continues to work.
