Apple Pencil Review 2 years later

[@thedavidj1996]

I think people don't understand what a stylus meant in 2007. Some smartphones required a stylus to use the touchscreen. Touch input from a human finger was far less reliable on those early touch screens.
The Apple Pencil is a tool for creating a hand writing like experience on a digital device, NOT for operation of that device.

[@randyyuwono3298]

David Jensen yes! I couldn't agree more, as Steve Jobs' saying "who wants a stylus?" refers to the stylus-required devices

[@johnferguson4723]

The same for the note phone try art work in your samsung app store

[@AryaLoveGateau]

I agree. I remember the O2 phone with the stylus back in the day, pretty impressive device until the first iPhone came out. 10 years has passed, and so many thing have changed. Why can't we just enjoy and appreciate how technology has improved over years, and that we are the beneficiary of these engineers' intelligence.

[@minna3286]

My first smartphone was one of those, and when I lost the stylus I had to use the edge of my fingernail to operate the phone

[@SimonTHCheung]

😊

[@mantas7388]

The stain on your tshirt is very distracting.

[@bullymaquire8797]

I know right! I was about to comment that haha

[@rigo8720]

Omg I couldn't stop looking at it after that

[@JustXavier]

Mantas Plačenis 😂😂😂😂😂

[@attomicchicken]

He’s lactating

[@jeffg9612]

You need to go back to anatomy class. His nipple is nowhere near that stain.

[@Armoterra]

People take the Steve Jobs quote completely out of context. He was talking about the *primary* input method; the *required* one. "Who wants a stylus [to be the main input method needed to use the iPhone]?" Obviously, there's nothing wrong with people who want it for some things, but if it's *needed* for the iPhone to function, then it's an annoyance because "you gotta take it out every time you want to use the iPhone, you lose 'em... yukh."
Not everyone *needs* the Apple Pencil on the iPad, just like not everyone *needs* a Wacom pen tablet on a PC. His point was that they chose the required input method to be one that everyone already has, that can't be lost, and that you don't need to take out -- fingers (and for those who want a stylus, be his guest).

[@edgarcmtz]

People are just blatantly ignorant because they hate Apple so much.

[@chengong388]

A stylus is technically just a solid plastic stick you use to press resistive touch screens, like the 3DS and old Windows Mobile devices.
The Apple Pencil is a digitizer pen like the ones made by Wacom for artists. These devices are characterized by built in sensors and circuits that actively communicate with the surface it is being used on.
And also these devices have always been around $100 even before the Apple Pencil came out.

[@kemira87]

With Tailosive's (Andrew's) suggestion to me I waited for the new (2017) 12.9 inch iPad Pro. Of course I got the Apple Pencil with it since I am a college student and I don't want to lug around a MacBook until I get into classes that don't already have me carrying a crap load of books too. In just the summer classes alone the iPad/Apple Pencil combo has been indispensable. Taking algebra and calculus notes is so much easier when you can actually write out mathematical formulas and draw illustrations. I also do digital art on the side and have a digital art class this fall that will make the these devices even more handy to have around. I don't have any use for the features of a dedicated laptop that I can't already do on my gaming PC or a school computer so getting a laptop would seem redundant (for me anyway). It was a good purchase and I'm defiantly getting my moneys worth out of it and with a battery life as impressive as whats in the iPad Pro its hard not to. Thanks again Andrew!

[@lightlysaltedcalmingvlogsa7286]

Also when Jobs said "who needs a stylus" he was referring to PDAs and who every other device didn't have a proper touch screen

[@duskdove1816]

Artist here. Prior to my iPad Pro 9.7 and Apple Pencil, I had never owned a display tablet. While I will admit that a cintiq or huiom is more specialised for artists, I feel like I get a lot out of my tablet thanks to its portability. Most of my tablets through out the years have been no bigger than a single on of my hands (and mine are tiny) so upgrading to a 9.7 touch display has changed the way I create art.
On the Apple Pencil itself: I feel like the Pencil has good weight to it, it's not too heavy but not too light either. My issue with Wacom is that the pens are so light that I don't feel like I'm drawing. Other third parties have AA batteries in them weighing them down too much, which is far from ideal for drawing. The progression of pressure sensitivity could be updated as it is not as smooth as Wacom (basically industry standard) but it gets the job done.
For people who want a device they can draw on and use for watching Netflix on the go or reading books, the iPad Pro + Apple Pencil combo is fantastic. (Especially in an official Apple case because then you can get that perfect drawing angle 😩👌🏽)

[@howie8787]

Dang, I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, Huge fan :)

[@errel16]

dbrand.com/shop/ipad-pro-10.5-skins
dbrand has pencil skin for the apple pencil

[@MrAndrew1953]

I have had 3 Notes including the Note 7. Stylus brilliant for making quick notes for appointments, events. Screen is narrow. Stylus would be more useful on my 6S Plus with its wider screen. Stylus makes tablet phones much more useful.

[@investedwheat40]

1:09 OH MY GOD THE UNKNOWN PERSON IS LEFT HANDED I AM PROUD. (Totally not overreacting)

[@ALTERKNIT]

I would like the next generation Apple Pencil to have a small LED dot near the cap that could give a quick indicator of battery level using green, orange, red or similar. Apart from that I really enjoy using it for drawing and general navigation.

[@paullegaspi5384]

I like your thought process.

[@xeno2554]

Dbrand has an Apple Pencil skin to make it look like a No. 2 pencil

[@Listen2me400]

Xeno check out TH-camr DoNiceSky I just saw a pencil ✏️ skin review on his channel.

[@aryajonathan3733]

well with s pen and recent note you can screenshot or make a gif out of a specific area of the display

[@MrMRforever]

I think they should add that hover feature that the S pen has, that would be great.

[@admrsh]

Lmao 5 years later they added it lol

[@rioreason]

Thanks for these videos, they've helped me decide on the Apple Pencil. Not too long ago there wasn't a good variety to choose from if you wanted accuracy, and now we have this thing that essentially reproduces the functionality of a tablet on the iPad.
I would however like to add that some people can't afford the Pencil and the iPad Pro, and would in fact get good use out of it if it were compatible with a Plus version of the iPhone. I'm actually waiting on my first iPad Pro to come in the mail, and in the meantime, have actually been doing a decent job getting some art tasks done on my 6 Plus, even without a stylus (mostly in Assembly and Photofox by Enlight). I've really been looking forward to getting an iPad Pro so I can utilize Affinity, and I think I'd really be able to get the most out of it with the Pencil. Until I get the Pencil and my iPad Pro arrives though, I do alright on my 6 Plus. If I can't, that's why professional artists have desktop Macs and tablets.
*TL;DR*
It's be nice to have compatibility added to iPhones for artists on a budget. Apple shit is the best for artists, but it's expensive.

[@Listen2me400]

I have an old iPad mini. I can’t wait to get the new iPad and Apple Pencil. I don’t draw but I want the pencil for note taking. 📝 Ipads save paper and stores it all in one place. I love it.

[@ovenbakedcookie7200]

I am a uni student using the apple pencil for nearly 3 to 4 hours daily. To be honest, at the end of the day it's frustrating to write on it becoz the tip is hard and doesn't have the cushion effect like surface pen offers.

[@Gordanyeung]

I just bought iPad Pro 10.5 with apple pencil, work like magic! It definitely worth it.

[@MaenMarashdeh]

Color ware made a limited edition #2 ✏️ Apple Pencil you know what I am talking about the SAT pencils

[@DaniAlexandria]

love your channel but "boughten" is not a word...

[@DeJuanchi27]

Your stylus opinion benefit you and those who have the same needs or preference. However, there are those who strongly disagree for the same reasons.
Example, one of the main reasons why I got the note 8 vs the iPhone 8 or X, was how effective the stylus was for my current day to day needs; Quick access to add notes, draw, get personal information, edit, and also multi task.
The stylus is an amazing tool that you can use, but is a choice an option! vs the iPhone who basically don’t want anything to do with it. for many it’s a real deal breaker. I like to have options and the note series gives you those options.
Apple could just have it so they create a smaller version of the apple pen and have both be compatible with the iPhone, like they did with the new iPad 2018. But they didn’t it, if they had that option it would’ve been way more appealing.

[@darrenalbertson-digitaldus6227]

Yep, 2 years later and I still use the Pencil every day... never lost a cap, tip or charger adapter, and never had an issue or mishap with the iPad direct charging method when I've needed a "quick charge"... perhaps careless people don't deserve nice things(?) :)
One caveat, I purchased one of those capacitive "dumb" stylus caps that replaces the Pencil cap and use it to navigate my iPad/internet and * gasp * my iPhone (because big fingers/small buttons) interchangeably with my fingers, as most times I prefer the feel of the rubber tip and lack of tapping noise on the glass screen for those kinds of operations, so it wouldn't hurt my feelings if the Pencil worked on iPhone as well.

[@daspiper8941]

Many people use Spiral Bound Note Pads the size of today's smartphones. I use them to keep records and take short notes. I've thought about getting this Pencil to use with my iPhone 10.

[@Ghost-jy9hk]

Notification squad. His videos are just too good to miss

[@wetzel82]

Watching this is 2019
He said “maybe wireless charging” yep they took your word on that. But I do want colors!

[@AlexCWill]

I myself also used my Apple Pencil for taking notes and making graphs. Yes I am in grade 9 and it's a lot less work than college but I found it a lot more efficient than carrying stacks of paper

[@moviemix-ups1123]

Probably the best stylus would have:1) a good feel to it2) multiple controls (pressure, angle, etc.)3) color choice (some colors were bold in the video but what about gold or space gray?)4) MAGNETIC charging, attaching to the side of the tablet5) built-in battery
 Pencil needs to update, yes. But the Surface pen could use a revision too.

[@twoodcc]

I really don't see what it would hurt to have pencil support on iPhones. I agree that most people wouldn't benefit, but it would be nice to give people the option

[@mustafasajjad1285]

Who's just looking at the wet stain on his shirt?

[@2Pavo]

That stain on your shirt is a eyesore 😂

[@giannimotisi1281]

I think i heard that wacoms patent on the pen/radio communication is up- hopefully we can see a pen that doesnt require charging, AND has an eraser.

[@palopatrol6010]

I have an iPad mini 4, released the same keynote as iPad Pro, and doesn’t have Apple Pencil support.

[@xoMissTaylorDivine]

Because I just got my first Apple product being the 10.5" iPad Pro in Rose Gold, I'd like a matching Apple pencil in Rose Gold.

[@coolchant123]

TayToria I'm getting that same exact iPad and I don't know why apple doesn't make a rose gold pencil.

[@bert3064]

I prefer to rest my hand on a flat surface to write, not hover my hand over the device. the palm rejection on the iPad Pro is to die for.

[@vivekvs1992]

As a person who said he isn't a non artist you have a biased view on styluses...styluses were made for more accurate touchscreen use before the days of capacitive touch.. And as a medico i appreciate how easy it is to jot down something important as the samsung notes are the same size as a pocketbook... Obviously the samsung ads tend to show too much productivity coming out of an s pen.. But all things aside an s pen good for those quick notes and markups before whatsapping an image.. Say a lesion in a ct scan... As opposed to to mark8ng up text books with an apple pencil

[@kazikian]

You contradict yourself saying it helps precision but isn't useful on a smaller display where it's even harder to be precise with your finger!

[@quinchonez]

thats because on a phone mobile apps and mobile websites are designed to work fine with your finger, so you don't need to be extremely precise, but if you need to do something creative like photo editing, video editing, sketching then a stylus makes it easier to be precise, but you don't do that on a phone because its too small, you do it on a tablet. In conclusion you get an apple pencil on the iPad and your finger on the iPhone.

[@coachj2024]

The apple pencil needs and eraser feature and a programmable side button to launch your favorite app.

[@kajunox]

My Apple pencil experience is very negative. I tried using it for work. Blue tooth - keep disconnecting. I then had to keep plugging it into the iPad. Very often. Major PIA..... Not to mention it has to charge. It's also way to big. Was a waste of money unless you like to color and draw.

[@user-zk8ed4kd2b]

I disagree about using a stylus on a phone. I just came back from a trip with my niece. She is deaf. Her phone has a stylus and were were able to communicate in the car. This was great. This is also good for persons that have lost the ability for speech. It’s also great for writing a list of foods to pick up at the grocery store.

[@stanfordsweird4607]

I think it's a good idea for the note lineup the screen will be huge this time it may be useful

[@adelaidemarie]

I hope they do come out with colors yet leave the white still working. No writing it out of the program.

[@nicholasallen8829]

I use my Apple Pencil everyday. I use it mainly with Concepts, LumaFusion and Affinity Photo and ran currently trying Shapr3D. In my opinion apps like this are pretty useless unless you have the pencil. But even note taking and general navigation on the device I better as I don’t have to move my whole arm across the iPad all the time.

[@Techn1cated]

If I had one I'd get the Slickwraps pencil skin for it, looks awesome

[@Rubiksguy]

Pls make a video on best iPad Pro apps for using the Apple Pencil. Whenever I want to show someone all it can do, I realize I don't have a good drawing app, or the best note taking app, etc.

[@lelandwythoff1855]

You have to charge pencils now??!!

[@notafurry5965]

Leland Wythoff
You expected a pencil sized stylus to not need charge???

[@sebastianvarela5658]

Man...the trick of putting the cap at the side of the iPad...SIIICK!

[@LysergicCasserole95]

Yeah no one wants a stylus on a 3.5 inch screen. But 5 inch and higher? Maybe?
And the Apple Pencil should have wireless charging in the future. Especially how precarious the method is at the moment having it sticking out of the lightning port

[@sitbackrelaxxx]

Sorry.... but the S pen is a great feature on the Note series. I used it a lot on my Note 4 and Note 7 for my business.... especially it in the field on job sites. No matter how much your bias tries to write off the S pen on the Note as a gimmick or nothing good..... in reality a lot of people love it and it is an amazing thing. And again.... if Apple came out with a pen feature built into the iPhone and it offered the features that the S pen offers.... you would be all about it. ✌

[@osamashaher3772]

True. he would be praising the iPhone for having a stylus. Just like the S8. People Complained that the bezel was too small. now there are rumors about the iPhone having it and he is happy about it. iSheep Smh

[@luigialonzo5442]

Lenardz Lenardz nope all you have said is useless to me, e signature? I can right that without pencil, gaming ? I can game without that. Taking quick notes is actually faster when typing only, you have to pull out the s pen first before you do that. 😂. And drawing?? Who even draws on a 6 inches paper, if you have to design draw on larger paper like the ipad has

[@davidrojas9895]

sitbackrelaxxx Damn you still butt hurt about his last video?

[@sitbackrelaxxx]

Danny Ramirez But hurt?? Nah... I don't let mindless sheep bother me. It's just fun making them squirm with basic logic.... instead of mindless emotional opinionated babble. ✌😉

[@YUlHlRASAWA]

sitbackrelaxxx Then why say sorry?

[@tuberoako777]

03:45 The fact that the screen is smaller would definitely benefit the use of a more accurate stylus.

[@SirGarmaples]

You know, it'd be great if Apple includes Apple Pencil support on all of the devices in the Apple ecosystem. You could then take the Apple Pencil and write on any Apple device (with a screen) in your house and it would just work, whether it'd be an iPhone, a Mac, a MacBook, the iPad, etc.

[@bezandros]

i got the ipad pro 10.5 wit apple pencil as an upgrade from my ipad 2 .. It would be great help for my university studies

[@VenoStuff]

Never used Apple Pencil, but the Surface Pen (?) works great on my Surface Pro 4... So I could give it a try (if I had an iPad Pro, or if it would work with Mini 2)

[@techbysteff4829]

VenoStuff only works with the pro models

[@JanLotan]

Yeah

[@patrickrenwick75]

So what is there making somebody choose the iPad pro apple pencil combo over the Microsoft surface pro stylus combo?

[@izzrainy7410]

Boughten?

[@MaenMarashdeh]

I just went to an Apple store getting beats x and I saw the iPad Pro.
Plz. God let there be 120hz on iPhone x I will wake up and 11:30 ready to pre-order and if I don’t get the iPhone I will go to Foxconn and buy straight out the factory

make it to have Apple pencil review 10 years later

[@Rekseri]

Does the Apple pencil work if the IPad has a screen protector?

[@bezandros]

0:19 AHAHAHAHAHA thats why i like your videos . Honest and sarcastic

[@youpa]

Just buy an Samsung tablet with support to an s-pen. It will cost half the half of the half a price of an apple pro and it's pen, and it will work the same way. If it's used for education, not drawing. I have one and it's really good! Did I mention it is affordable?

[@sadladd]

Just curious, but where are those points on the iPad that the cap sticks to?

[@Raja995mh33]

funfact: the S-Pen is not a tool for artists... it IS a tool for daily usage like take notes and so on... and in this category the S-Pen is MUCH better than the Apple Pencil... the Apple Pencil is a artist tool...

[@paulnj420]

Did you get a chance to examine that black dot above your right shoulder. I keep seeing it in your videos and thinking it's dirt on my IPhone's screen.

[@emftechEE]

Why you didn't talk about its fragility? I've had mine for 2 weeks and had to replace the tip already because it deformed by a minor fall. I love my pencil, I think it's the best accesory out there peiod. But it's just too damn fragile.

[@rbaulor]

Yessssss much excite for dis video

[@Watachan89]

What's really frustrating about this stylus is it's ONLY for iPad Pro. I mean, OK, on iPhone, it would be kinda ridiculous but COME ON! My iPad Air 2 is big enough that it's useful on it...
I'm gonna have to struggle with a non-Apple stylus that will never be as efficient as this one, and it sucks :(

[@varunthingom7270]

Hey T tech love your vids, was wondering if you would recommend upgrading from an i phone 6 to an i phone 7 plus? Also why do you dislike white bezels on the front of apple products?

[@DanielGamerThe]

Too late wait for the iPhone edion, U should have bought a 7 plus at realease cuz a 6 is 2 almost 3 years old. I Switched from a 6s to a 7 plus and i fell the diference.

[@guillermosantos3278]

Why doesn’t apple make the apple pen be able to use for previous Apple iPads? It’s not fair :I they could’ve made more better if it was available for the other iPads from Apple .-.

[@anthonynkwocha9354]

Samsung should continue the note tablet line up. They would completely outshine the iPad pro and apple pencil

[@techbysteff4829]

Please do a Surface Pro (5) vs iPad Pro (2017 models) comparison. I'm confused on which one of these two I should purchase with my savings.
(I'm looking for a tablet, not a laptop replacement, quite happy with my MacBook Pro!)

[@techbysteff4829]

Md. Abdul Ahad Chowdhury depends if you want apps ,music or media consumption get the iPad. The surface is really only useful for writing essays or books or if your in business. The windows store has absolutely nothing in it compared to the App Store unless you use steam and only play games.

[@gavinvales8928]

It would be nice to see a bezel-less iPad pro, with a matte screen so that it feels more like pen and paper. Only then will I buy it. ;)
