Apple adds super clever ‘hidden’ detail to the iPad Pro that users are loving

It's pretty subtle yet very effective.

The iPad Pro (2024) is now in the hands of its early users.

Already, they've spotted an Easter egg and its digital savviness is wowing everyone.

Tech enthusiast Mikah Sargent was among the first to discover the Easter egg while covering Apple updates on TWiT’s MacBreak Weekly.

The Apple Pencil Pro can cast subtle digital shadows, as Sargent demonstrated in the clip.

The UI shadow appears when the Pencil is hovered over the iPad screen, so users can know how they're holding their pencil.

'Did you notice the little shadow that appears in the UI when you hover your Apple Pencil over an iPad Pro?' Sargent wrote in his X post.

'Spotted it during @TWiT's MacBreak Weekly yesterday. Clever!'

Meanwhile, Snazzy Labs noticed the same Easter egg and called it 'INSANE.'

Another X user, Verownika, used the social platform after discovering the Easter egg and remarked: 'The details of the Apple Pencil Pro with the shadows that change depending on the stroke you choose. The wonderful details of Apple.'

The Apple Pencil Pro is the first new Apple Pencil since the Apple Pencil USB-C and is arguably the most advanced iPad piece of kit to date.

With it, it brings three new writing tools that weren't available in previous models.

These include the ability to rotate its barrel to change the tool and orientation, haptic feedback, as well as an innovative feature that allows you to squeeze the Pencil to bring up a palette and switch tools, line weights, and colours.

The Apple Pencil Pro also works with the iPad Pro (2024) and iPad Air (2024).

Onto the iPads themselves, the new 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro (2024) introduce several upgrades, including the new M4 chip - which is 50% faster than the M2 chip in the last iPad Pro - and an Ultra Retina XDR display that uses OLED technology. The tablets are also thinner in appearance than any Apple iPad on the market.

People are definitely loving the refined and easily-missable feature, with some commenting in an Apple fan Reddit forum writing: 'No way, that’s cool!' and 'I found this out while taking notes at uni and it really amazed me! Quite a neat detail'.

Another Apple fan also revealed that the shadow changes depending on the type selected: 'If you change the pen to something else, like fountain pen - the shadow changes as well. It’s freaking cool'.
