“Michael B. Johnson, who heads the Pixar team that develops the tools used to create its animated movies, tweeted that his team had been given the chance to test the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil – and described palm-rejection as perfect,” Ben Lovejoy reports for 9to5Mac.
When the launch presentation failed to show a hand resting on the iPad screen, some had wondered about the ability of the device to handle palm-rejection – ignore the touches the screen would detect simply from the palm, heel or side of the hand resting on it while drawing,” Lovejoy reports. “From the comment made by Johnson in response to a question, it appears there is nothing to worry about.”
@kalmichael It has perfect palm rejection as far as we were able to see.

I honestly wondered about that when they were doing the demo on stage. Surprised if it is so good at it that they didn’t even mention it.
On PreOrder ~ Hey Mikey ? FUCCK YOU.
i think there are so many things good about what they develop that sometimes they take it for granted when they are done: “of course it does palm rejection!” they just don’t have time to mention everything.
I’m kind of surprised that Apple didn’t get the Pixar team’s input during development.
I’ve been experiencing perfect Palm rejection since the first iPhone’s release.
(Psst: Hey one-star voter, it was a veiled reference to the Palm Pilot.)
Very clever
I knew that. I have it too.
i have been accepting any palm since long before the iPhone
!-)
when I draw on my Cintiq I use a cheap cloth glove with the tips (except the little finger) cut off. It’s not for ‘palm rejection’ but to stop unwanted oil smears on the screen.
(lots of people without a Cintiq are going to get the iPad Pro and that might be a useful tip. still going to get oil from pinching and zooming but less from palms and wrists)
I can’t wait to get an iPad Pro.
It’s real good tip.
