The Apple Pencil is super responsive and has pixel-perfect precision with industry-leading low latency for writing, markup, or drawing. It also has tilt sensitivity and palm-rejection technology, so the screen only recognizes the Apple Pencil, not your hand or finger.

By using the Apple Pencil with your iPad (specifically, the iPad Pro 2022 model), you’ll get exclusive features like the new hover feature that makes part of the iPad’s interface come to life when the tip of the Apple Pencil gets within 12mm of the iPad’s display. 

Get the Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) with $50 in savings right now if you want to upgrade your iPad stylus.
