Apple Pencil (2nd Generation)

Much more responsive than the first generation and the ability to charge and stick to the ipad is great.

The Apple Pencil 2 is simply the best stylus on the market. I have used many different drawing tablets from Wacom and other manufacturers but hands down the 2018 iPad Pro and Apple Pencil 2 is the best drawing experience I have ever used. The pencil is comfortable in hand and the double tap function speeds up workflow. If you have a iPad Pro, buy this!

In order to get the full benefit of all the new features on your iPad Pro you need this pencil. It transforms the iPad into a fantastic drawing tool and a more secure way to jot down notes and ideas (from the lock screen - just tap the pencil on the screen to start creating). Certain drawing apps will allow you to assign a different control to your fingers whilst using the pencil, for example allowing you to draw with the pencil and smudge with your fingers. It makes drawing feel so natural. It’s not cheap but you get what you pay for. The pencil itself feels great in the hands and I often find myself reaching for it whilst using the iPad, even if I’m not drawing or writing. The magnetic charging is very convenient and the battery life of the pencil is excellent, I have not seen it below 90%. Don’t wait any longer if you own the iPad Pro, enjoy the full experience and order your very own today.

The joy of my grandchildren being able to draw and write on an iPad is a joy to behold, nothing like this when I was a child, I think I can remember steel knibs in wooden pens and an inkwell, 78 years old now just for explanation and spell checks were unheard of.

iPad Pro not complete without it (so not convinced that Apple should be making users pay for them separately rather than giving them with iPad's as standard) but it is an amazing product that makes the iPad much more useable and fun.

Having upgraded my iPad at significant cost I was initially annoyed at the additional cost of the latest Apple Pencil. However having now used it extensively for a couple of weeks I cannot fault it. Wireless charging when left attached to the iPad means it is always ready to go and it has made producing engineering drawings and graphics an absolute pleasure. The accuracy is spot on when selecting specific points in line drawings which has reduced the time spent trying to get the right point and having to zoom right in to make sure you get the point you require. In fact it is so good I use it almost all the time i'm using the iPad as the accuracy of it means selecting smaller text and links on websites is soooo much easier that using my fat fingers, and the screen stays cleaner for longer. So whilst it is costly I am pleased I purchased it. (And if I was ever to lose it I would replace it like for like).
