Does A8 have auto turn off, scribble, quick screenshot and note function?
Yes! A8 will auto turn off in 5 minutes of inactivity. You can also TAP the top of the pen TWICE to turn it on or off! Turn on Settings > Apple Pencil >Pencil Gesture/Scribble to get these function.
Will A8 come with either a regular USB-C to USB-A cable or a double USB-C cable? (Note: charger NOT included)
YES for now! But dont worry about the adapter or cable! Just use a regular USB-C cable and a USB-A charger for your phone or iPad to charge A8, regardless of the type of cable you receive. Contact metapen for support if you have any questions!
Can Pencil A8 pull down control center?
NO. No active pencils including the original iPencil can pull the control center down, notification bar down or swipe up between apps.
How to stop my fingers to draw?
Your fingers wont draw when you are using A8 which has Palm Rejection. To ignore hand input and only draw with A8, please go to Settings > Apple Pencil > Turn on "Only Draw with Apple Pencil" (iOS 14+ available).
Does A8 have pressure sensitivity?
NO. The original USB-C iPencil and all 3rd party pencils have no pressure sensitivity. A8 can seamlessly work with apps like Procreate Goodnotes imitating pressure sensitivity with the brush effects and adjusting brush size, flow capacity etc.
