As first time user of a pencil for my iPad, now that I have just upgraded to the new iPad Air 13 M2, I have broke the bank and got the Apple Pencil Pro and have just viewed this video. One really basic question is, what is the app you are using about a third into your presentation that shows the different brushes & pens at the bottom of the screen please. I already have Procreate but that doesn’t resemble that. I have also subscribed to your channel, as being nearly 80, I am what you call a late learner. Regards Geoff
Apple Notes. You’ll find this toolbar in the Apple notes when you write with the pen. Just make sure to select the Pencil tool in notes so that you can write/draw using the Pencil. Otherwise the iPad will think you want to scroll with the Pencil instead.
Very cool pencil but the find my isn’t very interesting… That could be added on any pencil with a software update because it’s only give the position of the iPad the last time the pencil was connected. And to detect the proximity it’s simply using Bluetooth strength of the connection… I was hoping to be really able to detect it like an AirTag but no. There is no hardware change for that specific point and that seems impossible to have an improvement with a software update in that case. Even a left behind feature isn’t possible as if you use a case for the transport the pencil isn’t connected to the iPad so the pencil will be detected as left behind. The only improvement possible is that the location was given if the pencil is in the Bluetooth range of the iPad to make a left behind possible.
I’m hoping for an Apple Pencil 3 or a Pro version for the other iPads (surely this will be confusing to some so it’s unlikely). I love the new features of this new Apple Pencil but the fact that I need their new tablets is really disappointing. I will wait until I eventually upgrade to a future iPad Pro but not anytime soon.
Double checking what you said about Procreate support for Apple Pencil Pro. From what I can see the current production release does NOT support features like squeeze-for-menu and barrell roll. Are you using a Procreate beta release? Note: these new features do work, as you noted, with Apple provided apps like Notes and Freeform
@@AppleInsider Hi! I need your help with something. I have apple pencil pro and iPad air 2024 and the round tool choice option pops up normally BUT only if I use basic note app. When I squeeze my apple pencil pro in good notes there's only a square menu showing in the right corner, as I would try to change it manually. I searched through settings and goodness settings and I can't find anything what would make it right. I wish the round menu popped next to my pen location instead of up. Do you have any idea how could I change it??♥️♥️
You cannot turn the barrel roll function off and it is annoying. I like the fountain pen tool in freeform because it resembles the chisel tip of a dry erase marker at the “usual” angle. If you move your hand slightly with the pro pencil, the angle is thrown off. I love the squeeze gestures and haptics but I find myself using my usb-c pencil more than my pro because of this barrel roll issue. I hope they allow this setting change in a future update.
No only that, the new iPad air doesn't work with the 2nd generation pen... Didn't stop the salesman in apple selling me the 2nd gen pencil with it though...
@@PSy84 shortcuts are something I don’t generally use on iPhone too..They seem complicated and it has a lag. Have you tried it on the new Apple Pencil pro ?
How can I use this pencil to open up a lock screen, without having to use my fingers? it doesn’t seem to respond when I try to swipe up from the middle bottom of the screen.
While using pencil pro , we should on Bluetooth everytime , bcoz I turned off Bluetooth , pencil is not working for some time (4-5min) then it's working normally , I usually face this problem after taking ipad from charge , any solution pls?
This was my thought too. After playing around with both… the 11 just seems better. Weight - and reach-wise (typing with both hands whilst holding the iPad).
Great review, thank you. I’ve just ordered the 2024 IPad along with pencil. However, one has to be a real idiot (kept my language slight), if you lose your pencil. The first place I will look is in the crevice of my sofa!
Anyone able to attest whether the Apple Pencil scratches your screen over time? Just bought the brand new IPad Air (2024). Don’t have a screen protector but got in my head about the pencil “hurting” the screen.
Glad its same size as the 2nd gen means cases and covers will fit even the nibs are the same as the 2nd generation so i can still buy cheaper nibs as...they are identical to apples in practice
Excuse me my Apple Pencil pro connects to the magnet but doesn’t do anything. It used to be on blue tooth and said it needs to be attached even though it was and now it disappeared. What do I do. Did I get a broken Apple Pencil?
@@sochie969 I use it mostly for Procreate from around between 1 hour up to six or seven hours and the battery lasts until I have to dock it to recharge.
So many features but you need to use your fingers???? The PPro just dont shut the open app on screen I must use my finger!!! 149 € for this when I can use one chip Pencil on Amazon!!! Am I wrong??
Once you add your Apple Pencil to Find My, you can no longer turn off the Apple Pencil. On prior Apple Pencils, and on an Apple Pencil Pro that is not registered to Find My, turning off Bluetooth on the connected iPad results in the Apple Pencil losing its connection to the iPad. This immediately shut down my two prior Apple Pencils (Lightning type and magnetic type). They would then keep their charge for months and months in a bag; otherwise they'd drain down to zero in just a week or so. The Apple Pencil Pro, though, seems to stay on for about 30 seconds after turning off Bluetooth, but then it too will shut down. Once you turn Bluetooth back on on the iPad, the Apple Pencil will no longer be accessible. In Settings, the iPad will say to place the Apple Pencil in its iPad charging spot to re-connect. It will then keep its charge for a looonnnggggg time. Registering the Apple Pencil Pro with Find My seems to alter the settings so that it never shuts down (makes sense, I guess). I've not yet determined how long the new Apple Pencil Pro keeps its charge like this. I'll be checking that. So, you have to choose whether to be able to always find your Apple Pencil or to keep it in your bag for weeks unused and always have it remain charged. (I had been charging my Apple Pencils to 80% before turning them off before, FWIW). Note: To add your Apple Pencil Pro to Find My, click + on Devices in the Find My app on the iPad. It will then guide you through the process (you just put your Pencil back in its charging spot and authorize the addition to Find My.)
Very incorrect. First, some apps have been updated -- but it's only been barely a week. App developers didn't have this information until the rest of us did so they're going as quickly as they can. All the existing Apple Pencil features still work, such as hover support and double tap in Affinity as demoed. I also showed off GoodNotes, which is one of the apps Apple highlighted. That app update has been released and is available now.
Warning! Many many issues with Apple Pencil Pro with iPad Pro on new iPad Pro M4. Also, I don’t use Procreate, but in researching my problems I found a lot of users having issues with it. My experience has been awful. Fortunately, I heard another brand works.
There's no reason except for greed this pencil shouldn't be able to be used with an iPad Pro 12.9 6th generation M2 chip but can work with a smaller tablet the same year, same chip and vice versa, the 2nd generation should have been available for the air back then too. Or one better, skipped the 2nd completely and just went to the Pro instead. Apple is the most greediest, slow progress paced company there is. I was so excited back in 2022 to get my ipad and new apple pencil but felt bad for those who had iPad air's because they missed out. I bought my tablet with the mindset that this would last me several years and I've done pretty good about not staying in the know about their newest iPads so I wouldn't become discontent and feel the need to upgrade over one extra feature mine doesn't have, and unfortunately all it took was watching a short to make me feel bitter at this company for the way they drag consumers around like this, but unfortunately like with the way I feel right now, it works on people who can afford to upgrade and they will do so in a heartbeat, but it's people like them that keep allowing Apple to keep taking while they hold so much back. I was going to save up for this new pen because it's perfect for my needs but now can't be allowed to use it just because they say so.
Craziest thing is that the Gen 1 can works on iPads Pros with USB C using LightBlue app to pair it. They made older ipads incompatible just for money.
Of course. It’s called planned obsolescence.
Squeeze and haptic feel really good. Sometimes just use it for no reason
I’m getting a magic keyboard and a blue 2024 iPad Air 128 gb and the new pencil

The Apple Pencil 2nd gen won’t work with the new iPad Air and Pro either. Only the pro and USBC.
If they wanted ppl to buy the pencil more they should have made it so older gen iPads could buy it too
