I don’t understand how this port is going to connect with a cable. I want to see this in person but it looks cool in the ad

I’m confused by how you don’t understand… could you elaborate?

I think my brain was expecting the plug to be mounted like it was on the Gen 1 pencil. I guess I thought the angle was weird because I couldn’t see how a plug’s depth would fit in the small cylindrical pencil shape. I see how it could work now from this photo: https://i0.wp.com/www.seriousinsights.net/wp-content/uploads/Zagg-Pro-Stylus-Charging.jpg

That section is inside the pencil when you're using it, and you pull it out when you need to charge the pencil (probably once a week or so).

It's been done before with other styluses - for example the Zagg one. Scroll down in this article for photos with cable plugged in: https://www.seriousinsights.net/zagg-pro-stylus-review/

Ah yeah that makes sense—I get it now. I think I couldn’t imagine how deep the plug would need to be compared to the pencil circumference.

Someone is gonna piss in that USB-C port.

Edit: Pregnancy test humor is too low brow, I see.

Blue, negative. Red, positive. Green, Apple-compatible.
