Since the second-generation model was unveiled in 2018, this is the first significant update for the Apple Pencil series with the new Apple Pencil Pro. Because it lacked advanced second-generation features like pressure sensitivity and double-tap tool switching, the more affordable USB-C Apple Pencil that was released last year was less useful for tasks like graphic design and 3D sculpting. However, it did support a wider range of iPad models than the Apple Pencil 2.

Apple Pencil Pro features and other details

The Apple Pencil Pro retains the advanced features of its predecessor while adding new ones, such as haptic feedback that pulses when users squeeze or double-tap the stylus, and a squeeze gesture akin to the stem on the Apple AirPods Pro 2, which brings up a new palette for quickly switching between different tools, colors, and line weights.

Users may precisely manage the tool they’re using by rolling their Apple Pencil Pro over a gyroscope. Just like with pen and paper, the orientation of shaped pen and brush tools can be changed by rotating the barrel. Additionally, before making a mark, users may see the precise orientation of a tool thanks to Apple Pencil hover.

Like AirPods, you can now follow the whereabouts of the stylus if you forget it thanks to the Pro model’s FindMy support. Though it is only compatible with the most recent iPad models—Air and Pro—the new Apple Pencil is more powerful. The Pencil 2 and this one are also priced at Rs 11,900.
