The Apple Pencil + iPad Pro pair can prevent you from … opening your car!

This is an unexpected problem that, I believe, many would never have imagined would be caused by the Apple Pencil + iPad Pro.

Apple Pencil recharging on an iPad Pro

If you are a happy owner of an Apple pencil and tablet and you have a car with a key equipped with an electronic lock, be careful: these products can interfere and prevent you from opening your car, as reported by iGeneration [Google Tradutor].

Apple explained the case in a support article: According to the company, if you are recharging your Apple Pencil (second generation) with iPad Pro and your car’s alarm control (electronic lock) is close, signal interference can prevent you unlock the vehicle.

The solution, however, is quite simple. If this happens, you can simply take the iPad Pro away from the alarm control or remove the Apple Pencil from the iPad Pro and store it separately. It is worth noting that if the pencil has completed charging, any resulting signal interference will cease.

For Apple to put this on her website, it is because some people suffered from such a problem. Now imagine you discovering that it was all Apple Pencil’s fault reloading on iPad Pro… ?
