I've Tested 15+ iPad Styluses - How Does The New Apple Pencil Pro Compare?
Ғылым және технология
Spent a few hours scripting with the new Apple Pencil Pro. I've always liked Apple's styluses and the new Pencil Pro doesn't disappoint.
Check out my other recommended accessories:

2:37 What Annoys Me

My first impressions:
1. Build quality/finish is the same as the Pencil 2 and the USB-C. And that’s a good thing because the average 3rd party stylus feels incredibly cheap. Like they looked at the
2. I like that Apple kept the nubs the same. I bought a package of replacement nubs 5 years ago and I still get to use them. Sweet. As a side note, apples nubs are rounder than most 3rd party nubs
3. I don’t like the size. For the longest time, I just accepted the fact that stylus were going to be awkwardly long. Like borderline chopstick long. That was until I used the Apple Pencil USB-C version that was a bit shorter and closer to a normal pencil which felt way better in my hand. I was hoping the Pro version would be similar
4. The new Squeeze and Haptic Feedback features of the pencil are really neat. With this new set of features, Apple has added another dimension to the stylus which really sets it apart form all the other 3rd party products I’ve tested. From my perspective, Apple’s redefining what it means to write and draw digitally. Barrel roll falls into that category as well but I think it’s a little annoying because the Apple Pencil doesn’t remember the orientation of said barrel roll. You average to do it everytime.
5. Having find my baked into the pencil is awesome. Losing an Apple Pencil is terrible. I know. I lost my first one a year ago so i bought another one. ONLY to find the first one attached to one of my metal table legs.
6. As a side note, I’m annoyed that Apple decided to remove the ability to use my Apple Pencil 2 on the newest Air’s and Pro’s. I’d rant more about it BUT the price of the Pencil 2 and Pro are the same…

I really appreciate Monty’s input. One of the main reasons why I subscribed and stay with you
I was worried about replacing the nib for Apple Pencil Pro - and you’re the first person to tell me I can just use the previous ones. Nice!
Great review, thank you! Hi Monty!! ❤
Awesome! Thank you for the review! 🎉
Would be nice if you put the names of the other recommended styluses (styli? 😅) on the screen so we wouldn’t have to remember their names from earlier in the vid when you quickly mentioned them. Great iPad stylus review!
I totally agree! I actually got the 11 inch 2024 Air instead of the pro, but still got the pro pencil. It works with all my old accessories and it’s still a lot faster with more features compared to my old iPad Pro from 2020. What I wasn’t expecting was with the M2 chip, I don’t notice that it doesn’t have pro motion which I like! ProMotion was great, but I don’t have the money to pay for a 2024 pro with all the expensive accessories to go with it.
Do the Apple Pencil alternatives stick and charge well with the new iPad Air and iPad Pro ?
So the question is, will there be a 3rd party stylus pencil for the new apple pencil pro which will charge with the ipad's magnet. Cz they did make an alternative to apple pencil 2 for the previous ipad air which used to charge magnetically, no cable.
I have the Zagg Pro Stylus 2, but it does not wirelessly charge on the m4 iPad Pro. Unfortunately, it seems that none of the styluses do at the moment.
Hi Aaron, I'm gonna buy an ipad 9th gen soon. I also looking for a stylus pan for that but I'm confused. Would you plz help me with that?
Every time I watch your videos, I miss my miniature schnauzer who died. He only lived 9 years. Enjoy your guy Monty

damn rest in peace to your pet
The rolling feature is such a huge step toward it being the plutonic ideal of a digital pencil. If I had unlimited income, I would upgrade my iPad JUST for that feature. That's how big it's going to be for artists.
The biggest problem of using the Logitech Crayon is to find a case for it
Real pencils are strange when comparing lengths. So which length is the best? I’ve used my pencils until they’ve been sharpened down to a nub. Same thing with charcoals and whatever else. So, an inch, more or less, doesn’t bother me.
Apple moved the magnet placement on the Pros to accommodate the move of the camera to landscape mode. So, only the Pencil Pro (which has the revised magnet placement) and the USB-C pencil will work. Of course, apple could have moved the magnets to the other vertical side of the iPad (the "left" side) and kept the same magnet placement so the Pencil 2 would work but decided not to do so.

that would basically make it to where you can't use a folio or keyboard cover while having your pencil docked though

Which one?
I’m just disappointed with how expensive the iPads have gotten. I can get a MacBook Pro for specked out iPad plus magic keyboard
Can you send me the iPad that you tested on because I can run it using the TIYP-C port? It doesn’t matter what you send because they work with the same port. In fact, it is a dream that is almost coming true. Please reply and thank you.
Is it “nubs” or nibs?! Inquiring minds want to know.

Nibs! A nib is like a bit for a pen.
Nope, the Pencil USB-C is $80 here in the US. So all of US (see what I did) who bought the Pencil 2 for $130 are … basically going to have to use it until it dies, adn use the older iPads until they die. Apple you done us wrong. Glad that I only paid about $70 for a Pencil 2. But I suspect that all those 3rd party stylii that you disdain (c’mon some are good; I like the Logitech Crayon v2) probably will still work as they have worked,… with the new iPad.
Apple should really do a version compatible with previous models. There’s a huge market there…

They do … it’s the recently introduced USB-C Pencil.. And it works with the new ones. They KNEW that a new magnet arrangement would be necessary … and continued selling us all the Pencil 2 while keeping quiet. Bastards.
The nibs feel too squishy, compared to styluses from tablet displays.
Sure, rub it in. I got the blue box.
They don’t work on iPad Pro m4.
Hahaha can i have monty????
