Apple Pencil (2nd Generation)

Apple Pencil (1st Generation)

When using the iPad 6th gen, or iPad Pro, there may be moments when you want even greater precision. So Apple has painstakingly designed Apple Pencil to expand on the versatility of Multi-Touch. And while the technology inside is unlike anything Apple has ever engineered, picking up Apple Pencil for the first time feels instantly familiar. It lets you make any number of effects, right down to a single pixel, giving you more creative freedom than ever before.

Add Apple Pencil. Erase barriers: You may never have seen Apple Pencil before, but you already know how to use it. From the first moment, it does what you expect. And then far more. Whether you're sketching in the park, painting a watercolour portrait, or drafting a blueprint, Apple Pencil gives you a variety of tools in a single instrument. You hold it, but it doesn't hold you back.

Highly responsive. Virtually no lag: The lightning-fast responsiveness of Apple Pencil separate it from other creative tools. That's because its latency - the tiny delay between when you begin drawing and the time it appears on the screen - has been reduces to an almost imperceptible level. 

iPad Pro knows whether you're using your finger or Apple Pencil. When iPad Pro senses Apple Pencil, the subsystem scans its signal at an astounding 240 times per second, giving it twice the data points it normally collects with your finger. This data, combined with Apple-designed software, means that there's only milliseconds between the image you have in your mind and the one you see on the display. 

Draw lines of any weight. Just apply pressure: Within its slender case are intricate and accurate pressure sensors, capable of measuring a range of forces. The carefully positioned sensor determines precisley how hard the tip of Apple Pencil is being pressed down. Press harder to draw thicker lines. Or use a gentle touch for wispy hairlines. The variety of creative effects is virtually limitless. Which means you are as well.

Add shading with a tilt of the hand: Two tilt sensors built within the tip of Apple Pencil calculate the exact orientation and angle of your hand. As you naturally write or draw, the relative positions of each of these sensors can be detected by the Multi-Touch dispaly. So you can create shading effects simply by tilting Apple Pencil the way you would a charcoal or conventional pencil.

12 hours of battery life. You can supply the creative charge: Slip off the magnetic cap of Apple Pencil to reveal a lightning connector that lets you charge Apple Pencil simply by plugging into iPad Pro. The connector features a slightly elongated design, so that charging is possible even when iPad Pro is inside its Silicone Case. A full charge gives you 12 hours' worth of scribbling, sketching, annotating, and editing. And if the battery happens to run out while using Apple Pencil, you can just charge it from your iPad Pro for 15 seconds and get 30 minutes of use.

Sketch new life into all your favourite apps: Make the most of iOS 9 when you use Apple Pencil with built-in apps. Apple Pencil will also work with iPad Apps from the App Store. So you're sure to find whole other dimensions of creativity and productivity.
