Cool review also do you know and 3 axis gimbals that are good at about $200-300

[@Shmexon]

You didn’t mention the fact that you can make a screenshot by just draw straight line from the right down corner :) It’s really a time saver

[@makemeafoolai2666]

Can you get me one, please 🥺

[@kahratka]

Have you looked at the XIRON pencil. We are potentially looking at it as a less expensive alternative.

[@TechGearTalk]

I had it on my list and forgot 😂🤣 will add to part 2

[@adorunderscorebutch]

3:37 Screenshot shortcut tip: using the pen, swipe from the bottom (left or right corner) going diagonally towards the center of the screen. voila, screenshot + annotation window.

[@TechGearTalk]

OMG - it was on my list and I forgot!!! Thank you, I’ll do a part 2 #fail. Appreciate you 🙏🏻

[@westward56]

Thank you! Just got. My first Apple Pencil yesterday and that tip is great!!

[@ofgokce]

@@TechGearTalk Also while you're at it, could you please make a comparison between those 3rd party apps that you mentioned at the end there. And more importantly if any of those apps could be a true replacement for the Notes. I'll be looking forward to it! I appreciate your videos so much that you have been the main info source when I was tinking about getting an iPad and now I own an iPad Air 4. Kudos!

I recently brought the iPad Air 4 before purchasing the Apple Pencil. Using the Apple Pencil for me is so much more efficient. I love using it to take notes for school and using the Procreate interface. It’s pricy but TOTALLY worth it

[@georgedan24]

It would be great if you would cover the 2 apps, GoodNotes and Notability and emphasize what are the differences between them 😁

[@rickmortis]

Just bought pencil 1st gen for my mini. Thanks for this, awesome.

[@Warlock_UK]

My biggest tip, which is how I use my ipad pencil - is to disconnect / forget when I am not using it. It'll turn off and save the battery so when I use it a week later or a month later I just plug in to sync and it still has near full power. Just not using the pencil without disconnecting it, it'll be flat in a few days.

[@ramanjotkaur1314]

there’s one more function i’ve discovered accidentally while using apple pencil 2, it’s that you can adjust the size ( increase ) of the eraser by sliding your finger towards the tip while holding the pencil, it really saves a-lot of time.

[@soreodensen5133]

Great tips! I’ll respectfully add one more: DO NOT let your 2nd gen pencil ‘run dry’. As in 0% power. If you miss placed or put it away for extended period it honestly will die with no bringing it back. So keep it charged. I found out the hard way when my toddler managed to skillfully hide it. I found it some time after I bought a replacement ($). The iPad would recognize it attached but would not charge it for use. Just a little 🍎 fun fact.

[@isobellep]

It would be great to design a pencil where the battery is replaceable - there are thousands of ‘dead’ pencils as there’s no warning about leaving the pencil in the box uncharged. I’ve got one.

I did know a lot of this but I’ve never come across the ruler! I don’t have the official Apple Pencil, it’s a cheaper version but is does most of this with the exception of the charging, I need a separate USB cable for that. I wasn’t confident I’d use it that much, but actually I couldn’t do without the thing now! I still reckon it’s expensive to get the official version. Only thing my budget one does which annoys me is roll off the table - it doesn’t have the squared off edges. Probably end up ‘buying it twice’ but I’d upgrade the iPad first. Enjoying the videos, keep them coming 👍
