So I just picked up a 10.5" iPad Pro, which is compatible only with the Apple Pencil 1st Gen. Are there any alternative pencil/stylus options I should consider instead? Pros/cons of each?
No, the Apple Pencil 2 doesn't work. Even if it did, you wouldn't have a way to charge it. The first one charges using the iPad's Lightning port, the 2nd one uses wireless charging that's built into the iPad.Another question, will the Apple Pencil 2 work at all with this older iPad Pro? I get that some of its newer features might not work, but what about simply being able to use it to write and have palm recognition? Stuff like that?
That's the conclusion I'm coming to. Apparently there are several good alternatives out there for the Apple Pencil 2 - from Zagg, Logitech, Adonit, and others. But no one really put much of anything out there to compete with the 1st get one.If you want the best experience, Apple's pencil would be the way to go.
Personally, I very much prefer the Crayon's female lightning port over Apple Pencil's male counterpart. I can charge my Crayon just like the iPad (or my iPhone) itself, whereas Apple's male to female adapter feels cumbersome to use and easy to lose.It also has a female lightning port instead of male like the regular Apple Pencil, so when I’m away from my charger (which is most of the time) and it dies I have no quick way to recharge it.
Exactly. We got left in the limbo.That's the conclusion I'm coming to. Apparently there are several good alternatives out there for the Apple Pencil 2 - from Zagg, Logitech, Adonit, and others. But no one really put much of anything out there to compete with the 1st get one.
I didn't. Just went with the Apple one.Exactly. We got left in the limbo.
Wondering if you found one?
