  • The palm rejection allows you to place your hand on the screen while you're drawing.

Apple Pencil (2nd generation) (2)

Description

With the Apple Pencil 2, you no longer have to mess around with cables and connectors. This stylus is fully wireless. Connect the stylus to your iPad Pro, iPad Air (2020 / 2021 / 2022), or iPad Mini 6 via magnetism on the side of your tablet, and get started with writing or drawing immediately. This is also the place where you can wirelessly charge your pencil. Thanks to the pressure-sensitivity, you can create shadows by holding the pencil tilted and you can vary the thickness of your lines by simply pressing down harder or softer. When you tap the stylus twice, you switch tools in programs like Adobe Photoshop CC. Set up these tools yourself, so you have your favorite aids within reach and you can stay in your workflow.

    Suitable for:
  • iPad Pro 12.9 inches (2022 / 2021 / 2020 / 2018)
  • iPad Pro 11 inches (2022 / 2021 / 2020 / 2018)
  • iPad Air (2022 / 2020)
  • iPad Mini 6

Note: this stylus isn't suitable for the iPad Pro (2017), iPad Pro 10.5 inches, iPad Pro 9.7 inches, iPad (2021 / 2020 / 2019 / 2018), iPad Air (2019), and iPad Mini 5 and older.

Nice digital drawing or expensive chew toy for the dog

  • Works great in combination with iPad Pro
  • A must for drawing programs
  • Lies in the hand like a normal pen
  • Price

Super product, like everything from Apple. And that comes with a certain price tag.

Unfortunately not exactly pet-proof: the pencil was “safe” on the table - cat rolls it on the floor - dog grabs it and takes it to favorite place in the house to chew it deliciously. That's why we bought 2 pencils in 2 weeks. Double ouch! in your wallet…

Don't hesitate, that costs even more money. Just do it.

  • Every painting and drawing medium in one, amazing
  • Fits well in the hand
  • Sensitivity in response can be set
  • So versatile that some explanation from Apple would have been nice, you have to reinvent the wheel yourself

I eventually traded in my Windows surface for an iPad with pencil. At the time there was a lot of doubt, after 3 years I finally gave in. For creative users, this combination of iPad and pencil is the ultimate. High ease of use, you can send your designs to the right software on your Mac with just 1 tap... it saves time, promotes your creativity and the features within Procreate are the icing on thick, fat whipped cream.
