    iPad Pro New iPad Pro 11" M2 owner: first-world struggles lol

    Just picked up a like-new open box 11" 2022 iPad Pro over the weekend, at 256GB storage for the price of a 128GB - so a decent deal. I graduated from just over four happy years with an iPad 6, and an original iPad Air for 5 years prior to that. Frankly, I'm struggling for real use cases for my...

    UK Pencil owners who like a bargain

    I like the idea of an Apple Pencil 2. But not enough to pay £120. I'm no artist and it'd just be helping me out in things like text editing or browsing. So, UK users – two questions, I guess: Is there a cheap(er) place to get one? I'm in no rush, so is there something to wait for, like a sale...

    Desktop Apple Pencil holder

    I use my Apple Pencil so far exclusively when I'm at my desk. I would like a way to keep it charged because keeping it on my iPad is a little bothersome. Definitely a 1st world type problem. Is there anything on the market like that?

    Apple Pencil 2 came bent (brand new, right out of box)

    I ordered a pencil with my iPad Pro preorder, apple shipped it immediately, and like a dummy I didn’t open it until 17 days after it got here. I trusted it was fine, and I didn’t have a compatible device to test it with anyway. I opened it now in anticipation of the iPad getting here tomorrow...

When I attatch it, it shows up with a flat battery (no surprise there) but I left...

    iPad Pro Question:Q:Use external mic + pencil - iPad Pro

    Hi all, I use an iPad Pro 3 2018 to record lecture notes and write with Apple Pencil 2nd Gen - using the Explain Everything app! I am now looking to get an external mic (either Blue Yeti or Shure MV5). Both of these are USB powered microphones. I understand the Shure MV5 can power up via...

    Case for iPad Air 4 + Apple Pencil

    iPad Air 4 + Pencil 2 I'm in the market for a case that will also secure the Pencil. I've seen some folio style that wrap around the pencil and some that have a slot for the pencil to fit in while still charging. My goal is to keep the two together as much as possible. What has worked or not...

    Apple Pencil - New Tips?

    I’ve been using my Apple Pencil 2 since launch date of iPad Pro 11” 2018. I use my Pencil primarily for note taking at work, so Mon - Fri every week. Therefore I’ve used my Pencil loads! Recently I’ve noticed the gaps in my writing, as if I’ve lifted the Pencil, and the reverse where the “ink”...

    All iPads It seems like Apple has some quality control issues when it comes to their Pencil tips. I made a video showcasing that.

    On another note, how many times can I screw and unscrew a Pencil tip before it wears down the gold connectors inside? Found myself screwing and unscrewing one time in a bout of anxiety, and I had to make multiple takes of this video before I got it right.

    iPad Pro Engraving

    Hi, am visiting US next week for 8 days and definitely buying iPadPro 11" 64GB WiFi with 2nd gen Pencil at an Apple Store, probably 5th Avenue NY. If I purchase on 1st day does anybody have an idea how long it would take for engraving? If I purchase online here in Ireland cost is €1179 roughly...

    New iPad Air / Mini - 1st gen pencil only?

    The new iPad Air / Mini states they are "Compatible with Apple Pencil (1st generation)". What is it about the 2nd Generation Pencil that would not allow it to work? Why would Apple release a new product and only make it compatible with an already old Pencil?

    iPad Pencil 2 tip is greatly improved

    After watch numerous you tube videos saying the pencil 2 tip was the same as the pencil 1, i had opportunity to try it out in the Apple Store today. Pencil 2 tip is much softer, with enhanced drag. Dare I say it--it feels like Surface pen! I love it. Has anyone else noticed this? Does...

    iPad Pro Locate Apple Pencil 2

    I have a cat whom is great, but she likes to play with pencils. Until the other day I had no problem with it, and actually was amused when I would step on a pencil that had been batted under a rug. You can guess where this is going. I left my Apple pencil on my desk and when I came back a short...
