“Apple Pencil is the most talked about accessory to come out of Cupertino in recent memory, and rightfully so,” Mikey Campbell writes for AppleInsider. “Its classic design, packed with cutting edge technology, makes it an enticing product for digital artists and, more importantly, speaks to the future of Apple’s tablet lineup.”
“Pencil is an unassuming device, much more so than the iPad Pro to which it pairs. Crafted out of tough, white polycarbonate reminiscent of Apple’s early iPod designs, Pencil has substantial heft and feels rock solid,” Campbell writes. “There is no flex, no extraneous buttons and, save for the nib and removable end cap, no moving parts. It feels purposeful.”
“When a nib gets worn down or damaged, it can be twisted off and replaced with a fresh tip. Apple includes one backup in the package,” Campbell writes. “Along with ultra-fast response times, the Pencil-iPad Pro pairing incorporates the best palm rejection technology we’ve seen in a consumer device. Period.”
