The Apple Pencil Pro is an accessory for select M2-M4 iPads and adds pinpoint control over software. For older iPads, check out the Apple Pencil – 2nd Generation. Key features of this newer pencil include:
Around 12 hours of active use per charge
Pairs and charges when attached to iPad
Haptic feedback when writing, drawing, and more
Sensitive to tilt and pressure
Charging on the Go. With a magnetic edge for seamless attachment to compatible iPads, the Apple Pencil Pro not only stays attached to your iPad when traveling but will charge as you go! What’s more, the pencil will pair with the device it is attached to for seamless performance.
Compatible iPads and Functions. The Pencil Pro will pair with the following iPads:
- iPad Pro 13-inch M4
- iPad Pro 11-inch M4
- iPad Air 13-inch M2, M3
- iPad Air 11-inch M2, M3
- iPad mini A17 Pro
With these iPads, the Pencil Pro offers a few upgrades over its predecessor, the Apple Pencil (USB-C). In addition to write/draw precision and tilt sensitivity, this iteration responds to pressure – both pressing and squeezing. You can also perform barrel rolls with this pencil! No, not in the air, but the built-in gyroscope does allow you to change orientation of shaped pens and brushes.
More than a Stylus. Providing so much more than simple point and tap, the Apple Pencil Pro helps bring your ideas to life through note-taking, sketching, coloring, drawing, editing photos, and marking up documents – not to mention dragging and dropping in style! Though it attaches pretty firmly to the side of the iPad, if it were to get lost you can deploy the Find My feature on it. This little tool is an awesome way to elevate your experience with a tablet, whether you’re working on schoolwork or your latest illustration.
