The Apple Pencil Pro is the latest iteration of Apple’s stylus, designed to make your digital doodling and note-taking experience smoother than ever. Sure, it still does all the things its predecessors could do — taking notes, playing games, and unleashing your inner artist — but with a few snazzy upgrades.

One of the standout features of the Apple Pencil Pro is its ability to sense when you’re giving it a gentle squeeze. This triggers a nifty tool palette that lets you switch between line weights, colors, and other functions on the fly. Plus, there’s haptic feedback, so you’ll feel a satisfying pulse when you tap or squeeze it, adding an extra layer of immersion to your creative process.

But perhaps the coolest trick up its sleeve is the ability to do a barrel roll — yes, you read that right. Thanks to its internal gyroscope, you can rotate the Apple Pencil Pro for precise control over shaped pen and brush tools. And let’s not forget about the trusty double-tap feature, perfect for quickly toggling between tools like a pro.

Before you place your order, please note that the Apple Pencil Pro is only compatible with the new M2 iPad Air and the M4 iPad Pro. If you have an older iPad model, the Apple Pencil Pro will not work with it.
