A:AnswerI haven't had any issues with skipping. You might be unfortunate enough to get a defective unit. It would be wise to call upon return policy or warranty for your device.
A:AnswerI have a 12 pro-max phone, and the 10.9 purple iPad. My recommendation would be to ask an associate they were all helpful to me when knowing what worked together and what didn’t. Hopefully you will get lucky, and with your idea I can try mine.
A:AnswerMy understanding is no. You will want to look into the generation 1 of this product. You may be able to use this particular version as a regular stylus but in that case the price wouldn't be worth it. Biggest improvements in this version are magnetic attachment and palm rejection, which are only built into newer iPads notably from latest gen Air and Pro lines
A:AnswerYou can purchase it engraved IF you purchase directly through Apple on their Apple Store app or Apple's website. This product when purchased here on Best Buy comes in non-engraved only without an option for adding it.
A:AnswerNo. 1st generation Apple Pencil is what you should be searching for. You may be able to use 2nd Gen Pencil as a standard stylus, but in that case there are more economical ways of serving that purpose...
A:AnswerGetting a stylus in general would help with that. This particular device has a great feel and balance to it. However, depending on your wife's iPad it may not be fully compatible... Getting a screen protector helps as well, especially a well made matte protector. Tempered glass may smudge as easily as bare screen but tend to be even easier to clean than without one.
