“Pressure sensitivity,” I knew the iPad could do it!

Got an iPad? Do you ever draw anything on it?
Ever since the first iPad, I couldn’t figure out why the capacitive surface couldn’t tell the difference between a tiny tap and a hard push. Turns out, it can, and I’m not talking about the soon-to-be-announced new iPads… your current iPad — as long as it has iOS 8.
I first noticed this with Paper by FiftyThree and their Pencil stylus. You can use the edge of the stylus to draw lines with greater thickness. Pretty cool. Then I looked at Zen Brush. Turns out, that app can do the same thing with just your finger. Go try it out.
Makes me really excited for iPad Air 2 or whatever they’re calling it. Now if they would only release the iPad Pro.
