Has anyone actually confirmed that the display has physical strain/pressure sensors, or is Apple just using the diameter of the capacitive touch point as a faux-pressure calculation?

Yeah, I find the pressure sensitive API in Android is good enough, it just uses the diameter of the touch. It's good enough for varying my pen strokes in a sketching app.

I haven't tried a Note with a true pressure sensitive pen though.
