The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects — just like with a conventional pencil.

Whats Included

Apple Pencil (1st Generation)

Q: Do you HAVE to use an Apple Pencil on your iPad Pro or will any type of stylus do?

A: No you do not have to use the pencil. I have tried my iPad Pro with other stylus and they worked. The other stylus weren’t as responsive but effective.

Q: Does the apple pen only work with the iPad Pro?

A: The pencil is not exclusive to the ipad pros anymore! It also works with the 2018 6th generation ipad 9.7".

Q: What's in the box ? Apple website shows : Apple Pencil, Lightning adapter, and extra tip.

A: Just bought one at Best Buy and it comes with an extra tip, the pencil with removable cap and a lightning adapter so you can use your Iphone charger to charge it if you wish.

Q: Is apple pencil 2nd generation will work with IPad 9.7 inch (latest model)?

A: I bought IPad 6th today and Apple Pencil 2nd gen. Before I opened pencil I checked Apple website and it says it's not compatible. 6th Gen IPad only works with 1st gen pencil. Will be returning the pencil unopened. Hope this helps, as I had the same question.

Q: Is this pen compatible with the ipad 6th generation?

A: Yes it is. I have the latest IPad (6th Generation)! It works great.

Q: Does this Apple Pencil cover under warranty - Apple or Best Buy? Because I was wondering if the warranty covers one year?

A: Apple covers the pencil for a year. Keep the box for the serial number because they will need it to look up your purchase date.

Q: I just purchased an Apple I pad 128 Gb wi fi. Will the pencil work with it?

A: Apple Pencil 1st gen works with these models: iPad Air 3rd gen iPad mini 5th gen iPad Pro 12.9 1st & 2nd gen IPad Pro 10.5in iPad Pro 9.7in iPad 6th gen I consulted with apple website to find out this information.

Q: Does this Apple pencil also work with the iPhone?

A: Unfortunately the Apple Pencil does not work on an iPhone screen. The iPad Pro screen offers an increased refresh rate that this product is intended for.

Okay, so that’s hyperbole, but seriously, this thing has changed my life. I am a writer and I’m old school, so I still write my first drafts by hand (in handwriting, you know, the stuff they no longer teach in school...). The Apple Pencil is perfect for this, and now my iPAD has finally successfully replaced my hard bound moleskines, a feat that I’ve been attempting for years but was unable to accomplish due to the lack of adequate handwriting ability with other styluses. There are abundant apps for this type of task, I.e. note taking/writing, and my favorite is Notability, with which theApple Pencil operates 100% seamlessly. I also use it to sketch on “Sketches Pro”, another excellent app for the Pencil. This thing is pressure sensitive and includes the capability to utilize the side of the pencil, as you would if you were lightly shading with a graphite pencil on regular drawing paper. I’m a little annoyed with the need for the adapter for charging, although you technically could (and I have) charge it through your iPAD lightning receptacle, but then you are using your IPAD power and can’t charge it while charging the pencil.....you see the problem. But it charges FAST, like I drive to work with it plugged into a charger in the car and it is 100% when I get there. So that’s awesome. And the charge lasts, sometimes for days, depending on use. I perceive (although I may be totally wrong) that it uses more charge on drawing apps than just writing notes. Anyway, I lost mine and had to immediately replace it, because the day I spent without it was completely disruptive to my work. I did add a silicone sleeve and a replacement lightning connector cap that functions as a regular stylus (the standard cap does NOT work as a stylus), which you can see in the photo (the sleeve is glow-in-the-dark...a great feature when I throw it in my bag and can’t find it later....). Got those through a certain online mega-retailer for next to nothing. If you think you want it, get the Apple Pencil. You won’t regret it.

Best stylus for iPad Pro
I tried all of the other competitors, from Wacom to Paper, none of them worked as well or were integrated as well as the Apple Pencil. This integration, however, comes at a premium price since the Apple device is almost 2x the price of the other stylii. Pros: well designed, same size as real pencil, charges quickly, weighted-side reduces rolling off the table, good OS integration with palm rejection. Cons: pricey, slippery to grip (I use a pen grip to combat this), charging requires separate adapter (included) which is very small and easy to lose, can roll off of table due to perfectly round outer surface.

iPad Pro + Apple Pencil = Dream machine
Okay, so $100 for a stylus is a little ridiculous, but I'm a professional illustrator and I can tell you that this works like a dream with the iPad Pro. Being able to draw directly on the screen rather than paper + scanner cut my work time in half. In the Procreate app I can't even believe how much this works like a real pencil (and I really like traditional media). Has made my work 100% portable - no more bottles of ink to carry around! It would be nice if the eraser end of the pencil was programmed to work like an eraser, but maybe in the next generation. Oh, and remember to turn off your bluetooth when you're not using the pencil, otherwise the pencil battery will drain overnight. But if that happens it's not a huge deal because charging for 15 seconds = 30 minutes of battery life!
