It's not a deal breaker for me. I always turn pressure sensitivity off - because I can't get lines that look nice (as in, consistent width) with it enabled.

What's wrong with the charging port? At least it has one, unlike the old pencil which I tend not to use because the battery is always empty. With this one I could charge it when I'm not using it, and it'll always be ready to go.

Thank you. I didn’t realize that it was cheaper because all of the prices in articles are not in my local currency.

They could've gone with Apple Pencil SE.

Marketing department taking a nap, it seems.

Magnetic charging doesn't work at all for me. When I'm using the iPad, the pencil gets in the way. When I'm not using the iPad, it's usually in my bag and then the pencil falls off.

The 1st Gen pencil worked better for me, with the little adapter so it could be charged with a lightning cable - but it's not compatible with the latest iPads.

Likewise. That’s a poor design choice when wireless charging on the iPad is already a thing. No desire at all to get this.

I mean, they’re going to be killing off the 9th gen iPad sometime soon anyway. At which point gettin an Air would be the best value for starting artists anyway since it’s only $150 more than the 10th gen and has much better performance.

Apple does not care in the slightest, and why would they. The know the peasants will continue to praise them for making the new gen stuff
