Which Apple Pencil Is Right For You? 

Apple doesn't usually make mistakes but I think they did here. Customers are too overwhelmed, confused, and sometimes mad looking to find the right one for them.

The convenience of being able to pair and charge the Pencil 2 on the side of you’re iPad is the killer feature for me. The lack of pressure sensitivity means that only students will ever use the USBC one for me

If Apple Pencil (USB-C) had the pressure sensitivity feature. It would’ve been the model that I would recommend to everyone.

Just get the 2nd gen one, if your iPad is compatible. It’s not a huge jump in price from the 1st gen one, it has way more features, and it connects to the iPad on the side magnetically, where it also charges. It’s just way more convenient.

I hate how the gen 2 doesn’t support I pad 10 gen

This video didn’t even last a year and we have Apple Pencil Pro…

As someone who loves to take notes on goodnotes with the 2nd gen. The pressure sensitivity might not matter to me but believe me the double tap feature is something that you need. Its a crime to reach for eraser tool everytime you need it. With double tap the experience becomes more seamless.

1st gen cap is easy to lose, but 3rd party sellers quickly made little silicone hats for it that have a tether that goes around the body of the pencil, so it’s attached while charging. Also made a holder for the original lighting to lightening adaptor that wraps around the charging cable.

Straight to the point, great video. Thank you!

Thanks for the clear explanation. Great job!

If the new apple pencil is cheaper and connects the the tablet you have go for it , you are missing pressure sensitivity in the end of the day though, If you are a artist go with the first or second gen

Thank you so much that was short and very helpful

Its nice to see more frequent uploads :D

Apple is usually really good at defining what each product is for, and creating a clear price tier of products. The naming schemes also tend to be pretty straightforward, without a bunch of numbers and letters that dont mean anything obvious. But this is really, really weird. I think this Apple Pencils main purpose is just to be an Apple Pencil with a usb c port, just so that they can say they did it. Its not good value even if it is cheaper, because pressure sensitivity is a massively important thing for doing any sort of art with it. It sits in a weird position of being sort of in between the first and second gen, but also worse than the first gen. If it had pressure sensitivity, itd be a perfect replacement for the 1st gen. But the lack of sensitivity is such a big problem it means id never be able to use it.

Awesome explanation. Well deserved the channel name 👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

how do you get high res photos and what editing software do you use? so great

Lovely video...keep up the great work! 👍 It would be fantastic if you could make a similar explanation about the different  AirPods generations in the future :)

Thank you so much that was very helpful ❤

Thank you so much sir, this video is helpful 🙏🏻❤

very helpful! Thanks

I'm still holding on to the 1st gen. Even though they just announced the Apple Pencil Pro with great features. The 1st gen has everything what I need. Except hover support. That the only feature I wish it support. Since I use it for drawing.

Gosh, I have the 1st gen and it never gave me an issue. I mean, is there really any reason to upgrade other than if it stops working? Kinda think Apple is fragmenting this part of their portfolio.

Love your content

They really realized that 3rd parties are starting to hurt their pencil sales with cheaper, yet still decent alternatives, so they just made a crappier pencil for $20 cheaper than the OG pencil, which they've NEVER given a price cut! They're wild RN!😂

I love the first iPhone launches and Steve says “stylus? Yuck who wants a stylus?!” Then the Apple Pencil releases

Thank you for clearly explaining something that apple really should be explaining themselves

since the 1st gen says Air 3rd gen only does that mean the Air 4 and 5 are not backwards compatible? Yes I know it uses lightning, but what if I use a separate lightning charger to charge it?

I have the 1st gen and it’s a pretty nice Apple Pencil

I have the magnetic one (not the usb c but the 2nd gen)

Would you create iMac that skipped m2 please

Brilliant video Greg

Can you make a video on why iPhone volume buttons are on left side and not on right side as most androids do

For those looking for the music in vid it’s called piano moment by Ben sound

Thanks for the video. Now I can buy the right Apple Pencil 😊

This worked perfectly for me. I bought apple pencil 2 and I love it. My only suggestion is to make it easier to add periods,commas, etc.

My question is how the affordable apple pencil supports an exclusive iPad pro hover feature but not the pressure sensitivity a basic feature with these...

Can usb c pencil tip can be replace with 2 generation pencil ?

Only one will work for me (the $99 model) My concern is if I apply too much pressure, I could scratch up the screen. Is it made to avoid this?

I have always wanted a second gen pencil, got a new iPad. If Apple can make it so that the phone detects whether someone is near to it, they can make it so that the second gen is compatible.

didnt know there was 3 lol i got the OG one years ago. My school sold it for cheaper

I think the apple usb-C without pressure sensitivity is about the same as the apple pen alternative, so I chose the $9.9 YEBOS pen, which is great value for money!

It’s kind of sad that the 1st gen onl works on my iPad but not many features.

Actually, Apple pencil 1st generation do support hover by connevting it with iPad Pro 2022 with 3rd party app ❤.

I have the 2 gen… no issues.

I dont rlly see the point in the usbc one but i would get it for the price if ur trying to get one for a lower price but 2nd gen is better imo u can js stick it ur ipad

i have a first gen pencil, and a iPad 10th gen and my pencil attaches magnetically?

The LISA engraving is a nice touch

I would say for $79, most people would not mind the pressure sensitivity or wireless charging. They just need the basics. Nothing to complicated or confusing.

The 2 is the way to go Having the pencil always avaivable is important

I have the 2nd gen one

Will Usb c pencil magnetically connect and charge with the iPad 10th gen?

whats the point of an apple pencil without pressure sensitivity

i’m so glad I saw this video because I would’ve bought the Apple Pencil 2 without realizing it doesn’t work on my iPad 7th generation😬

I plan on getting either the M1 iPad Pro or the M1 iPad Air and I only have one USB-C charger for my M1 MacBook Air so I'll get the Apple Pencil 2nd Gen

Whats the point of having tilt sensitive and no pressure sensitive option🤧

Why does Apple start to put the charging port in the most weirdest places for the mouse on the bottom and now this

I don't get what is the point of usb-c port in Pencil. I got 2nd version and it charges wirelessly 0-100 in worldly 1,5 minutes. (like 2-3% per few seconds). Overengineering level hard

Next pencil may have SCSI interface to charge and transfer data

I’d say only get the Usbc pencil if you have the iPad 10

imo just buy 2nd gen. Yh it's more expensive but it lasts forever and just doesn't leave anything left to desire. And it just feels like an extension of the iPad so isn't annoying

I am going to buy iPad air 5th gen so I think for me apple pencil 2nd gen is best cuz it have pressure sensetive !!

i have usb c and its amazing, i would recommend it if your looking to buy a good pencil at a decent price unlike the 2nd gen. usb c works like a charm

My favorite feature if it had it it would be attached magneticly

surface pen 2 does all of this except the engraving

If I wanted a pencil my only choice is the 1 gen

Apple Pencil gen 1 is a nightmare for me cuz i have to charge it in the ipad, but the performance for was okay same for the gen 2 :)

am i the only one that likes the new apple pencil usbc? like pressure sensitivity isn’t that much of a problem for me considering i used to have an apple pencil 2 before it broke and i didn’t like the pressure sensitivity too much

Which pencil is compatible with iPad Air 5th gen 2022?

Miss the times where we actually learned something from your channel bring back the long videos please

I prefer using the 2nd generation, it works better.

I’ve been using the Apple Pencil first generation for like five years now

I have the hoco one what’s that one someone help I’m only new

I have the 2nd gen

I never realized there was a type c Apple Pencil!

Can you please explain why Apple is obsessed with the color white? Like, why can they sell a pencil in black or any other color?

NEVER SHOW UR SERIAL NUMBER BLUR THAT!!!!

All you have to do is disconnect it from Bluetooth then reconnect,unless it’s completely dead like he said,but I like this method.

Nice!

Great. Now only if you would talk about "For Apple Pencils" as well. Yes the third party products that you would think they suck but price very rightly! I'm sure that makes a great supplimentary video clip to this so look serious into this idea.

Steve Jobs would’ve gone insane

if anyone comes across this comment, can you turn off pressure sensitivity with the 2nd gen?

Is apple pencil 2 not compatible with iPad 10th generation?

I just bought an iPad 10th gen, now I'm struggling to choose if I should buy the USB-C or the 1st gen Apple Pencil 😵😵

All of this for a pencil. Top-notch “simplicity” from Apple

Pressure sensitive is not good cuz it makes it hard to draw grateful art so I prefer Apple Pencil usb-c

Ipad air :D

Is rather stick with first gen Apple Pencil because I don’t see the difference in charging with the new usb c and the first gen

I have 1st generation one

3 Apple pens

I know they want everything with USB C now but this is not necessary.

I'm curious when they will release the Apple Pencil 3rd gen

I have 1st ten gen

In 2022, I choose the Apple Pencil 2nd generation rather than the Apple Pencil 1st generation when I owned the M2 iPad Pro 12.9-inch rather than the entry-level iPad 10th generation. In 2023, I skipped getting the affordable Apple Pencil with USB-C port when I added the Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro 12.9-inch with Face ID.

Lack of pressure sensitivity in the new one is just ridiculous and makes it useless for drawing.

Mine is first gen

You have to make a new video history of IMac

Next: Why iPad Power Buttons At The Top Of The Corner?

Thank you for not doing like many of your compatriots do and make us feel like total idiots for not buying the top of the line everything from Apple. Not all of us are “Power Users” and don’t use our iPads for business, video or music production, artistic pursuits and other high demand situations. For some of us, the Gen 10 iPad and USB C pencil meet our needs just fine with our putting $1000 on the table for an iPad Pro and second gen pencil.

These go against so much Steve Jobs envisioned and implemented at Apple. Namely not having extensive, confusing, bloated product lines.

Once I upgrade my 9th gen. I’ll get the 3rd gen Apple Pencil
