A ‘Dial’ Like the Surface
If Apple really wants the iPad Pro to appeal to creative professionals, they should offer a “dial” like the one Microsoft has for its Surface devices. You place the dial on the touchscreen and use it to control apps, palettes, fonts, settings – anything that would usually take a long time on a tablet, but is much easier with a twist of a dial.
Of course, Apple doesn’t have to copy the Surface Dial exactly, but a similar accessory or even built-in feature would be a huge boon to artists and designers. Plus, thanks to the iPad’s sales, there are a lot of people out there who already own an iPad and might be interested in buying such a device to expand their tablet’s capabilities.
