Apple Pencil Pro adds squeeze, roll and haptic feedback to its bag of tricks

Apple's new Pencil brings squeeze and roll gestures to its iPad lineup.

This action can do things like bring up tool palettes so you don't have to manually tap into them with your free hand. Apple also added a roll gesture "for precise control" of whatever tool you're using, powered by a new gyroscope. Apple says developers can make their own actions with the new gestures, so you can expect to see customizations based on the iPad apps you're using.
