The Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) is a stylus for select iPad models. It has a flat, magnetic edge that snaps onto the side of the iPad. Once attached, it charges wirelessly and pairs automatically over Bluetooth.
Double-tapping the touch surface, right where a finger rests, changes tools, brush sizes or modes. The taps can be customized to switch between the tools used most. Pressing harder makes thicker lines, pressing lighter makes thinner ones, and tilting shades. The iPad ignores a resting palm, so it can be used like a pad of paper.
The Pencil can be used to take notes, sketch, paint and color. It can also mark up emails, screenshots and documents in apps such as Keynote. The seamless design has no connectors or moving parts. It can be engraved.
