Apple Pencil 2nd App Guide for PC

Apple Pencil (2nd generation) brings your work to life. With imperceptible lag, pixel-perfect precision, and tilt and pressure sensitivity, it transforms into your favorite creative instrument, your paint brush, your charcoal, or your pencil. It makes painting, sketching, doodling, and even note-taking better than ever. It magnetically attaches to iPad Pro, iPad Mini and iPad Air,* charges wirelessly, and lets you change tools with a simple double tap.

Apple's second-generation Pencil is so much better than the first-generation model that it's a reason to choose the 2020 model of the iPad Air, which is compatible with it, over the base-model iPad, which can only use the original Pencil. Though $129 is a steep price for a stylus, serious artists and design professionals should spare no expense for top-quality tools, and the new Pencil's convenient magnetic charging, clever design, and impressive functionality make it our Editor's Choice.

There's a huge world of stylus-compatible devices and tablets beyond the iPad, but Apple's tablets are the first choice for many artists and educators because of their ease of use (better than Surface tablets) and deep tablet-centric software library (better than Samsung tablets). Capacitive styli have enabled iPad artists since the first model came out in 2010, and Apple's 2015 launch of the Pencil brought the company's effortless setup and tight integration with its OS into the picture.

But the design of that first-generation Pencil is flawed. It syncs and charges using a Lightning port under a removable, easily lost cap. When charging, it sticks out of an iPad at an awkward 90-degree angle.

Apple listened to complaints about its original stylus and delivered a second-generation unit that solves pretty much all of them. The first-generation Pencil was a perfect cylinder that would easy roll away, made of a glossy material that could feel a little greasy. The second-generation model has one flat side, and it feels nicely dry and smooth to the touch. The original Pencil was just a little too long, at 6.92 inches; the new one, at 6.52 inches long, feels better balanced in the hand.

The real magic, though, is in the second-generation Pencil's magnetic charging and attachment scheme. The Pencil simply sticks to the edge of a recent higher-end iPad, syncing and charging while it's there. That means you never have to stop what you're doing to charge it; it's always ready to go, and in two years of using one, I have never run its battery fully down.

The magnets and their charging ability aren't actually magic. (How do they work? Induction.) I'd compare their stickiness level to a Post-It note. The magnetic Pencil sits just outside most cases, which means that if you bump it, it can fall off the edge of the iPad. If you're used to tossing your iPad into a bag, the Pencil can easily become disconnected and vanish into the depths. But this is still a far better charging and attachment mechanism than any competing iPad stylus can claim.

Unfortunately, Apple's Find My app doesn't work with the Pencil, so if you misplace it, you just have to look around for it.

Like the first-generation Pencil, the new Pencil is a Bluetooth stylus with pressure and tilt detection. There's no mode-switching button on it, but you can double-tap your finger near the end of the Pencil to swap between writing and erasing.
