The PRO Apple Pencil Is WAY BETTER!

[@JMulvy]

As a creative, the consensus is NO the Apple Pencil Pro is not worth buying a new $800-1200 minimum iPad. Not to mention the pencil itself is an additional $120. Here’s the thing, if you are a creative who has used a drawing or screen tablet since 2004, you had ALL of these features in most drawing stylus. The only eyes Apple is pulling the wool over in this case are the Apple-stans. Yeah squeeze menu and barrel roll can be very useful for creatives… but not necessary at this point. The idea of saving a few taps eventually saves you hours of production time doesn’t really appeal to creatives because most of us don’t even use the shortcut buttons on our Wacom/ XP-PEN/ Huion display. We are actually faster using keyboard shortcuts.

I tried the apple pencil in store today. The squeeze and motor feel really well, and the way they implemented the tool palet popup is VERY nice and easy to use.

[@WargodFilms]

I can’t be the only one who wonders why Apple haven’t released this pencil in colors like black space grey and red yet

[@aprilheart7403]

I KNOW!!! RIGHT?!?! it's I was hoping they get a black apple pencil or gray colour but no. What I really wish they make a case with am ssd!!😭😭

[@eddiegabriel8243]

the answer is brand identity. the same reason airpods are all white (other than airpods max)

[@yasininn76]

Because they're waiting to find a new word to describe it, so they can add 100k at the price

[@barbarab202]

You can get silicone pencil wraps for it.

[@ethanmay4385]

As @eddiegabriel8423 said, It's part of their brand identity. When apple can't slap a massive logo on something, think airpods, apple pencil, charging bricks etc, they make it that particular shade of glossy white. That way you know it's an apple product even when you can't see a logo.

Darrell Roll: I dont know if it already does this. For NON graphic artists, I can see a TON of uses. ONE in particular could apply many different types of apps: Treat Barrell Roll like a dial to fine tune levels. Edting/Trimming: Squeeze the pencil and select the end of a clip. Contextual menu shows up for Edit type. After selecting type, you can fine tune the cut/trim w Barrell Roll to trim 1 frame at a time. This would be MUCH easier, quicker and more precise. HAPTICs can simulate a click for each frame moved. This alone would make editing on iPad better than laptop or desktop - track pad, mouse or function keys can be clunky. A barrel roll can act and feel with sensation similar to dial or click wheel. Speed can impact amount of adjustment. Scroll: Use barrel roll for scrolling - web pages, lists - numbers, dates, etc. Haptics apply just like they would for the click wheel of the iPod. LEVELS: Volume, Brightness, Hue, etc etc, Again, You see the idea, more accurate fine tuning and fluidity and feedback. Zoom: Squeeze (maybe there could even be a double squeeze, like double tap?) to select zoom, barrel roll to zoom in or out Selection: In Numbers, or finder or other places, once in selection mode, you can fine tune just like what was explained above. This iwould be best when the selection goes beyond what is visibliy seen on the page. While you could currently drag down to the bottom of the screen, this can be clunky at times, and often the system misreads the amount you want to scroll/select. That is just immediate shouts for use cases, for non graphic artists. Without really putting much effort in. There are bounds to be a ton more. But many of these can be used system wide.

[@kenanmagan1913]

I'm concerned with accidental squeezes. Can you share your experience with it?

[@chrisbogart687]

It would be great that other software developers implement the pop-up menu in their programs. That has the potential to be a huge time saver and great option. More than just the drawing programs. Video editing is what I was thinking of and that can go for DAWs also. The possibilities are endless.

[@victuringan1429]

The haptic feedback is great! I just purchased one today.

[@waynenunn8071]

I just got my new m4 13 inch pro and new pencil pro …should I get a screen protector to better use the pencil or just leave it ?

[@HOMEBOYCREW]

Can you use it outside in the rail to type on the ipad ?

[@PaladinJSR]

Did you use this with the iPad Pro or Air? Does the Air have delay because of the 60hz refresh rate?

[@kaskovic1993]

Can we get another comparison between MacBook pro air and iPad

[@lifeonthebluff-va]

So far, I am really enjoying the Apple Pencil Pro, but it has not paired with defined me app and I can’t figure out how to get it to do so

[@vectorm3832]

can u diasble double tap and keep squeeze? cuc double tap is mad annoying. always switches tools. had to disable mine

[@clemmmgx]

I don’t mind remapping the double tap on the pencil 2nd gen to trigger the quick tool selection.

[@johnblack8187]

What is that first software you’re using in the beginning of your video ?

[@arronstamper]

Just wondering if you’re showing features in procreate that are in beta. I’m dying to put these into action!

[@資施林]

I’m wondering if the Apple Pencil pro can be used in Goodnotes to switch the tool with a pitch, especially fit with GN’s original features.

[@Vicktorious]

I was wondering the same thing for ZoomNotes.

[@daughterofaqueen4466]

Yes it does. It works very well. Just got a new iPad with pencil yesturday 🎉

[@m.hreels9822]

Your Videos have been FIRE!!!🔥

[@petephipps6399]

I see you using the pencil in procreate, but when. Tried it did not work. I have the air m2, when I look in the app info it says pencil pro function coming soon.

[@Dailytekk]

Early release version for testing purposes

[@hubbzy1]

What app are you sketching on?

[@mirainoivuyo984]

They need to make it possible to turn off the barrel roll feature. It suuuucks when using the fountain pen tool in Freeform. When the angle is wrong, I have to spend time correcting it and it ruins my flow. Either the gyroscope is inaccurate, too sensitive, or I can’t hold my pencil consistently. It’s probably all three reasons. As cool as the squeeze and haptics are, I’ve put my Apple Pencil Pro away in favor of my USB-C pencil (which supports hover on iPad Pro) and is compatible with all 3 iPads I own (mini 6, iPad 10th gen and my new M4 Pro)

[@BellPhodography]

why do you own 3 ipads just keep the M4 pro

[@TopassBakery]

Does anyone know if the pencil hover works on the new ipad air?

[@NomadicSims]

The worry I have with the twist is for artists. I twist my pencil A LOT just while drawing. To the point my pencil tips come unscrewed. Like is it now going to feel unnatural because I can’t use it like a traditional pencil anymore?

[@eshanbansal5272]

There has to be an option to turn barrel roll off in the settings for sure

[@Guff93]

and it doesnt work with mine and I have a 6th gen one, Apple is insane

[@phonepup06]

Isn’t the find my support simply like the MagSafe wallets? Like, it just tells you where it was last disconnect? You’d know it was at home, but you couldn’t precision find it to your closest.

[@adelianicole7272]

Just got mine in today and it doesn’t even pair to my iPad…

[@johnblack8187]

They are saying that the new Apple Pencil will only work with the new iPad Pro. Isn’t that about stupid. It’s getting ridiculous how apple is doing things anymore. Theybatebgoingbto lose a bunch of customers if they don’t stop being idiots.

[@donaldduck5731]

The Pro Pencil is amazing and a no brainer if you're buying a new Ipad PRO, although personally I'd have concerns with an OLED display with burn in, in apps with toolbars, static stuff etc, I'd probably get the Air now. However I've two IPads, a small one and a big Pro, using Pen's 1 and 2. to be honest they're both totally amazing, it's really down to the user's skills and their creative, artistic abilities now, not how high tech. the apple pencil is. Pencil 1 is all you need.

[@k.vn.k]

Genuine people who tried it: “yes it is.” Haters who just passing without a single glance: “no it is not.”

[@yasininn76]

No it's not for a simple reason. Apple.

[@JeremiahLambertArt]

how does "find my" work... does it ring? you didnt say how it actually works.

[@magic_fruit_bat5003]

RIP 🪦 Apple Pencil battery 🔋 🪫 💀 with all those vibrations 😂

[@bridgetweaver-hicks8086]

Great video, thank you

[@ThomasJarvis117]

So annoying this can’t be used on older iPads

[@joseaavellanet4322]

Great video!

[@RickyMaveety]

Tell me when they make a new mini that uses it, otherwise I don’t care.

[@junyaiwase]

As someone who just got this pencil besides the squeeze function this is just 10 mins of glazing and course peddling

[@BellPhodography]

lol the videos exactly 10 minutes long

[@LesterDevious]

now i mad i bought this just to realize its not compatible with my ipad

[@kate_vye810]

The usb C pen is a 10$ knockoff, it’s not an option.

[@evitascheers312]

God bless you man your videos helped me a lot may Jesus bless you he changed me life i went from diagnosed with depression and anxiety to him taking it away💓

[@megalunar7860]

😂 what

[@xksicursedx]

no it is not

[@corys876]

It’s the same price as the old one 😂 so yea, if you’re buying one, get this one.

[@Bruhdude1572]

Unless you have an older model because the apple pencil pro only works on the newest generation

[@MenagoSandryS]

Am I first? Wow

[@jameshowlett2868]

My cheap-0 Amazon pencil (Penoval) works perfectly for the fraction of the price. No need for this.
