CTOnews.com hereby attaches a sketch provided in Apple's patent that touchscreen # 200 includes a mobile phone (iPhone), personal computer (touchscreen Mac), tablet computing device, wearable device (Apple Watch) or any mobile or non-mobile computing device that includes a touchscreen.

The touch screen # 200 integrates the touch screen # 220 to display images and detect objects from or near the touch screen surface (for example, fingers of # 203 and stylus such as Apple Pencil of # 205).

Apple's official introduction to the Apple Pencil hover feature is as follows:

With the Apple Pencil hover feature, you can quickly preview and switch between different tools and controls in supported App. You can preview a stroke on the canvas before using the drawing tool. You can also sketch, write and adjust with higher precision.

Leave the Apple Pencil at a maximum of 12 mm above the iPad display. Here are some examples of actions that can be performed:

Explore the tool palette: hold the Apple Pencil over the tool palette, and then move over tools such as pencils, brushes, erasers, and colors. Tap the tools, colors, and options you want to use.

Preview before drawing: leave Apple Pencil above the drawing area. When using some drawing tools, you can even tilt the Apple Pencil and change the azimuth (outer corner) to achieve different effects. For example, in the memo App, you can preview the color, line thickness, and opacity of the fluorescent pen. (previewing tilt and azimuth requires iPadOS 16.4 or later. )

Precise erase: select the Eraser tool, and then select options such as Pixel Eraser size or Eraser. Pause the Apple Pencil over the drawing area to preview the effect of the eraser.
