Apple Pencil Pro

The Squeeze gesture is designed to quickly bring up a tool palette, allowing you to switch brushes or settings without interrupting your workflow. The Double-tap feature provides a tactile pulse to confirm actions, such as switching between your current tool and the eraser.

Barrel roll allows you to rotate the Pencil Pro to change the orientation of shaped pen and brush tools, similar to using a real pen or paintbrush on paper. This gives you much more precise control over your strokes, especially when working with calligraphy or detailed shading.

No, it does not. The Pencil Pro attaches magnetically to the side of your compatible iPad, which handles both the pairing process and wireless charging automatically.

Hover detection lets you see exactly where the tip of your Pencil will touch the screen before you make a mark. This is particularly useful for artists who need to preview brush sizes or placement, ensuring greater accuracy in your digital work.

The Apple Pencil Pro is designed specifically for the latest iPad models that support its advanced features, such as haptic feedback and barrel roll. It is not compatible with older iPads that support previous generations of the Apple Pencil.

The custom haptic engine provides a subtle, physical vibration when you perform specific actions, like squeezing the barrel or double-tapping. This tactile confirmation lets you know your input was registered without you needing to look at the screen.
