According to news on April 12, according to a list recently published by the United States Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO), Apple has obtained a patent for the Apple Pencil, which not only allows it to support the iPhone, but also does not require charging.

The name of this new patent is "Photo-Sensing Enabled Display For Stylus Detection" (Photo-Sensing Enabled Display For Stylus Detection), which means that the future Apple Pencil does not need to be charged and will not consume power. Users can still write and draw on the screen, mainly relying on the screen to achieve corresponding effects. This patent application relates to an "optical stylus system" that mainly uses the screen to determine one or more of the target or touch location, center point, hover distance, tilt angle, azimuth angle, and in some cases The orientation and rotation of the lower stylus.
