Thanks for the informative unboxing and review Aaron. It's great to see the new Apple Pencil with USB-C in action. The compatibility with a range of iPads is a big plus and the fact that it's more affordable is a win
I keep telling everyone that this new Apple Pencil is a one size fits all meant to do the most basic Apple Pencil tasks across all of the iPads. This leads me to believe that they may be cooking up an “Apple Pencil Pro” that will only work with the Pro iPads and will tout features such as Find My and the touch capabilities, magnetic pairing & charging, pressure sensing, and possibly even a small speaker hole and lanyard connector like the new AirPods 2! They’ve already stopped selling the 1st gen Pencil and are currently dropping the price on gen 2 to relieve stock. I think eventually both will be gone and we will have two options: Apple Pencil and Apple Pencil Pro, replacing both the 1st Gen and 2nd gen
I agree because this new one was working with the 10th gen which has the camera in landscape hopefully if they make a new ‘pro’ pencil it will have the magnet/charging to one side so the next pro/air/mini iPads will also have the landscape camera?
@@Anonymous-vh9tc I have an iPad and the Apple Pencil goes with it like peanut butter and Jelly so yes I’m equally as invested in the pencil as I am in the iPad itself 😂😂😂
As an iPad 10th user, it’s been annoying and stupid connecting your type c cable, using the adapter and plugging in the pencil. But now it makes it much easier to charge your iPencil
This seems like a good solution for the standard iPad, as the Apple Pencil 1 was ridiculous with the 10th Gen. For my iPad Air, I’ll stick with the Pencil 2.
I've had my Apple pencil 2 since 2020 when I had my 2018 Ipad pro 11 inch. Sold that ipad but kept the pencil. Using it with my m2 ipad pro and works very well. Still has great battery life despite my pencil being almost 4 years old. I don't see what improvements that can make to the second gen pencil to make it better and I use mines all the time.
I’m currently waiting for Amazon to deliver my Apple pencil usbC, I got it for an odd reason. I can’t draw and I’m not a student but I just bought a 10th gen iPad and I love it but hate how after a fraction of a second of use it’s covered in fingerprints and smudges. It’s not as big of a deal on my iPhone but drives me crazy on a larger screen. It also was only like 70 dollars and the iPad was only 320 dollars too
Did you tried to pair it again in Bluetooth Settings? I use my second gen on multiple devices and for me that would be a big deal breaker having to plug it in each time!
i have the ipad air 5 and pencil 2. Use it mainly for work, class and some entertainment. Pencil 2 cause I do artwork sometimes. But for someone else I know only needs the pencil for writing and non-art stuff then I recommended the adonit neo pro. Since it charges magnetically too
may this apple pencil is cheaper than 1st gen, but it's no reason to make usb-c version requiring to use cable to paring and charging, the 1st gen pencil just connect directly to ipad and much easier to use
my partner and i each have the 2nd gen apple pencil for his 5th gen ipad air and my ipad pro 6th gen. i don’t see a reason for either of us to get this new one, as he’s a basic user and having 2 would be redundant, even though in a vacuum, this latest one would suit him better.
im a tattoo artist. i use my ipad to draw out my designs. this apple pencil sucks ! the worst part is not being able to double tap to switch to eraser. takes up a lot of time going back and forth between tools. also the fact that i cant charge it magnetically is really inconvenient. dont recommend for ANY artist
I have the same Apple Pencil that he is talking about but I have been trying to do the things that he does like the plugging in the iPad and the pencil but is didn’t say anything 😅
Can you be drawing on the iPad with the Apple Pencil (USB-C) while also simultaneously be charging it by connecting to iPad/Power Bank at the same time?
Can someone tell me if I’m able to trade my Apple Pencil for the USB-C port one? I’m buying a iPad gen 10 but I need an Apple Pencil that can support the ipad
I have a ninth generation iPad so with the lighting port, if I were to buy an Apple Pencil USB-C can I connect it to the iPad using the iPad charger cable? the cable has 2 ports, a lighting (which goes into the ipad) and a usb-c (the one that goes directly into the charger). If I were to use that cable would I have any problems or incompatibilities between the pen and the iPad?
i don’t understand the hate for this product as it is clearly made for the 10th gen iPad (and the backlash for the dongle prob on the apple pencil situation before this came out) if apple just released both at the same time haters will stfu
Thank you for the nice video. To be honest, instead of investing hundreds of thousands of Dollars for the new usb C and design.. they could just let it be magnetic and wireless charging, maybe even chargeable via other 3rd party wireless chargers.
Wow, no pressure sensitivity and no wireless charging or pairing. They need to offer a more expensive version that has all the things they removed. Nothing like stepping backward just because it’s cheaper. LOL.
I'm surprised that this pencil can attach to the iPad 10th. Just feel confused why Apple don't remove the 1st gen and apply full features to this USB-C version, probably the Lightning "legacy", lol...
it is a good price but try to find the second gen pencil at a lower price like 90/100$. I have a usb c pencil that’s pretty much the same as this apple pencil except for the hover feature (its a Zagg pencil) and its great and all and works perfectly for note taking but believe me on this one, you’ll forget to charge the pencil and it’ll take you off guard in classes. It may seem as a little thing or not as important but it does make a difference to always have your pencil charged vs sometimes not having it charged and therefore unusable for 5-10 minutes, it gets annoying eventually. I think the 30$ extra of a gen 2 are worth it for that solely reason of the magnetic charging, its always at full.
