Very poor treatment of users. If Apple had wanted to make the pencil have no navigational functionality, they should have removed functionality from the start. To have that functionality and then take it away, is clearly contemptuous of its customers.
This is exactly my stance on it. I really want the Pro and the Pencil was a no-brainer. Now, unless this is truly a bug and not a conscious decision to remove functionality, they've lost at least one Pencil sale. I'm no artist, but I do a lot of PDF work and the pencil would have been great. However, unless the current functionality in 9.2 is brought back into 9.3, I'll just buy a Jot Dash or something else I can use with all my devices for half the price.
