Seamless Design

This new 2nd Generation Apple Pencil is designed to be an even more comfortable, natural tool to use. The seamless design — no connectors or moving parts — makes it easy to store. You can even have your Apple Pencil engraved to really make it your own.

Designed to do More, More Simply

The new Apple Pencil attaches magnetically with a reassuring — and very satisfying — snap onto the side of your iPad Pro. Once attached, it starts to charge and automatically pairs with your device. And there are new ways to interact with Apple Pencil. Simply double-tap to change tools without setting it down.

Mark-Up Email, Screenshots and More

You can write and sketch on email messages, and even draw directly in apps like Keynote. Take a screenshot by simultaneously pressing then releasing the side button and the volume-up button, then mark up the shot you just took.

High Tech for High Art, And Everything Else

Apple Pencil is the perfect tool for whenever inspiration strikes. Use it to jot down notes, paint a watercolour or design a building onsite. You can mark-up directly in certain apps, and there are all kinds of apps in the App Store that let you do even more with Apple Pencil. Whatever you need to do, Apple Pencil is easy to use but impossible to put down.

Magically Pair, Wirelessly Charge

The new Apple Pencil starts charging when you place the flat part on the right side of your iPad Pro. It also pairs automatically with your device. And you can charge your iPad Pro and Apple Pencil at the same time. Magic, right? It’s actually magnets, but we’ll take it.

Highly Responsive, Perfectly Precise

Apple Pencil is the best tool to reach for when you need pixel-perfect precision. Draw anything down to a single pixel, from a technical illustration to a fine portrait — with wispy hairlines and all. Press harder for thicker lines, lighter for thinner ones. Create shading simply by tilting your Apple Pencil. All with virtually no lag between what you write and what you see.

You can use Apple Pencil (2nd generation) with these iPad models: 

• iPad Air (4th generation)
• iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation) and later
• iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation) and later
