It’s still missing the intelligent assistant, and is perhaps not quite as simple as the Newton Notepad, but it has the scribble to erase, tapping on a word to choose alternate interpretations, shape interpretations, etc. If you want HWR in every app, they have a MyScript keyboard extension which allows you to write in a window at the bottom of the screen, just like in Windows or something. It works very well, but you won’t get a pen-based OS out of the deal, so it won’t satisfy you if you’re nostalgic for your Newt.

Yes I also use MyScript Nebo (on my iPad Pro 9.7), it’s one of my favorite iPad apps. But OH! What might have been!
