Non Apple, Apple pencil

[mac98aop]

Hope you're all staying well? Very strange times indeed.

Just wondering about an iPad and Apple Pencil (1st Gen) - noticed there are quite a few non-Apple but iPad friendly versions of the pencil.

Some look quite good, quite reasonable (£40, as opposed to dirt cheap rubbish quality) but wondering if any of you can recommend - or even suggest it really is worth just using the Apple one (albeit it's for a teenager who will lost it in 5 minutes!)

Read the blurb carefully. I was looking into this and you find yourself looking at things that look great but don't have the bluetooth connection (which brings precision).

Apple sell one on the Apple store, I believe, which is cheaper than theirs so they presumably think it's good.

Also lists like this https://www.igeeksblog.com/best-ipad-pro-stylus/ carry over reviews from previous years - their number one choice is the 53 stylus that is deprecated, no longer pairs with iPads and goes for about 50p on ebay. It was great and a shame they gave it up but the Apple Pencil killed it. (But useless for writing).

I'd save time and go with the Apple store options tbh.

The teenager - I leave them to you!

cheers,
Jason

The Apple pen now on sale is magnetic and will fit to an iPad Pro.  The older Apple pen won’t work with the new version of iPad Pro, and the new Apple pen won’t work with the old version of iPad .  Infuriating!
