Can Apple Pencil Be Used as iOS 9.3 Navigational Tool?

Apple is currently working on new devices and software updates. The company is testing iOS 9.3 platform for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch [beware of iOS 9 iPhone bricking bug]. Some iPad Pro owners are frustrated as it turns out the upcoming iOS 9.3 will limit the functions of Apple Pencil that is popular among iPad Pro users. Apple Pencil iOS 9.3 update would take away one important option this accessory can do.

Will you get iOS 9.3 navigation Apple Pencil support? No, you won’t. The ‘fruit’ company decided to remove this popular option. Users who will upgrade to iOS 9.3 on their iPad Pro will not be able to use their Apple Pencil as a navigational tool like it happens on iOS 9.2 platform. For some reasons Apple dropped down this support. At least the beta versions of iOS 9.3 [beta 1, beta 2 and beta 3] show that you won’t be able to scroll, select, sipe and tap on buttons with Apple Pencil on your tablet device without staying inside the drawing application.

Apple Pencil will become just an accessory with limited functionality within iOS 9.3 [Apple is believed to improve 3D Touch in its next iPhone 7]. Surely these are just predictions for now because there is no public mobile firmware update yet. Apple could listen to what people think that decide to keep the function that is so popular and widely used by many of users who purchased the iPad Pro along with Apple Pencil.

Would you be ok if your Pencil becomes a simple stylus? Would you update to iOS 9.3 or prefer staying on iOS 9.2 for as long as possible to keep using your Pencil as a navigational tool on the tablet?

Apple Pay Outage: Users Can’t Add Credit Cards

Apple Pay is a popular mobile payment service that is available in the U.S. and some other countries across the world. It seems that right now the outage affects only Visa cards.
