To those of you who use the iPad/iPad Pro with the Magic Keyboard, what are thoughts of the circular mouse indicator? Do you like it? Do you prefer it over a traditional one?

I like that it’s easier to locate on a page and I like how it changes to a solid vertical line when the cursor hovers over text. What I dislike is the fact that double-tapping to highlight a word doesn’t always work, but I assume that’s an iOS/iOS beta issue that’ll get resolved at some point.

It is too imprecise for art but fine for navigating the interface. I wonder if they did this so it couldn’t compete with the Pencil.
