#APPLE PENCIL HOLDER IPAD PRO#

If there’s such a thing as a Stylus connoisseur, then you can bet that the Adonit Star would be a prizes part of their collection. Classy looking, nice to write with, and it will definitely get some looks when you pull it out in a meeting to make notes. The Star takes around an hour to charge and will then work happily for around 10 hours or so.Īdonit has come up with something genuinely unique in the Star.

If it starts flashing red, this means it time for a recharge, so unscrew the bottom of the pen and there’s a USB-C port. Pairing is simply a matter of pressing the small button on the Star, then when the blue light comes on you should be good to go. Instead, you get a balanced and very comfortable writing experience, aided in no small measure by Adonit’s excellent palm cancellation feature. That’s fine though, there’s the Apple Pencil for that. It doesn’t have pressure sensitivity, so you can’t have thicker or thinner strokes depending on how hard you press, which would rule it out for most artists. Popping off the cap reveals a fountain-pen style nib, replete with the ink feed on the back, but on closer inspection you’ll see that the metal cuts off early, with a black rubber 1mm fine tip being what will actually touch the screen.Īs you might expect, the Star is very much intended for those who want to makes notes and generally just write on their iPad. The classic design is reminiscent of a Mont Blanc, but without some of the bulk and most of the price. If you want something that feels more like a real pen, fountain pen at that, then the Adonit Star will be a breath of fresh air. You can tilt the stylus to create different textures, making it a great tool for handwriting, sketching, note-taking and illustration. You can also tell the two apart because the original had a metallic ring next to the charging cap.īoth the 1st and 2nd generation Apple Pencils are equally responsive and pressure-sensitive. The 2nd gen Pencil is matt white rather than the glossy white of the original (which could be a bit dazzling). The 2nd gen Pencil is also magnetically attachable to the iPad, which also helps with the rolling.Īnother major change is that the 2018 Pencil has no Lightning connector for charging, instead it charges wirelessly when connected to the iPad, which is much neater. This actually makes Apple’s stylus easier to hold and it stops it rolling off your desk. It’s shorter than the original and Apple has given the 2nd gen Pencil a flat edge you can tap to trigger app-specific functions.

When we reviewed the Apple Pencil 2nd gen back in 2018 we gave it 5 stars.

The second generation Apple Pencil, works with the 12.9in iPad Pro (3rd gen up), 11in iPad Pro (1st gen up), iPad Air (4th gen up) and iPad mini (6th gen). The first generation Apple Pencil, which features later in this round up, works with the current 9th and 10th generation iPads as well as a number of older iPad models. The Apple Pencil 1st generation is still on sale despite launching in 2015 and there is an Apple Pencil 2nd generation, which launched in 2018. The Apple Pencil is an obvious choice, what isn’t quite so obvious is which Apple Pencil you should choose.
