You may not have seen the Apple Pencil before, but you already know how to use it. From the very first moment, it does everything you expect. And much more. The Apple Pencil is a stylus that offers you a wide range of tools for all your activities, from creating blueprints and sketches in the park to completing colored portraits. You hold it without it holding you back. Incredibly fast.

What sets it apart from other creative tools is the lightning-fast speed with which it responds. This is because the latency - the minimal delay from the moment you start drawing something to the moment it appears on the screen - has been reduced to almost zero.

By simply applying the appropriate pressure, advanced high-precision pressure sensors are hidden beneath the sleek casing, capable of measuring a wide range of applied forces. The sensor is carefully placed to precisely perceive the pressure you apply to the Apple Pencil. Use more pressure to draw thicker lines. Or gently touch the stylus to the screen to draw the details in a figure's hair. There are no limits to the effects you can create. Which means there are no limits for you.

Remove the magnetic cap of the Apple Pencil to reveal a Lightning connector that allows you to easily charge the Apple Pencil by connecting it to the iPad Pro. The connector is slightly longer in length, allowing for charging even when the iPad Pro is in a silicone case. With a full charge, you can take notes, draw, annotate, and edit your content for 12 hours.1 And if the battery runs out while using the Apple Pencil, you can simply charge it from the iPad Pro for 15 seconds to ensure 30 minutes of use.

Note down ideas while in a brainstorming meeting. Draw a diagram during a lecture. With design tools fully optimized for the Apple Pencil, you can use Notes in new productive ways that serve you.
