I bring you my Apple Pencil review in this episode. Apple designed the Apple Pencil alongside the new iPad Pro, to allow artists to draw and sketch on the tablet, but also for everything to be able to write and take notes as well. I am not an artist by any stretch of the imagination, but I was very impressed by what I could accomplish with the iPad Pro once I had the Apple Pencil in my hands.
It gives an immediate sense that you can do more with the iPad, and when you go into an app that is use for image editing or drawing, even someone like me all of a sudden feels capable. It’s rare that I get that Apple feeling that a lot of people who aren’t technically inclined get. With most things, I’m an expert, and know all the features and how they work. With the Apple Pencil though, I definitely felt it — I’d say that I suck at drawing and fail at Photoshop…but with the Apple Pencil, I was empowered to try those activities with surprising results.
I highly recommend the Apple Pencil to buyers of the iPad Pro.
You can pick up the iPad Pro now.
