The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects — just like with a conventional pencil.

I only use a stylus when operating a touch screen. I am fussy about the fingerprints. I also have taken up drawing as a hobby. I have used a number of apps and implements for nite taking and drawing. For me, I found I had to hold my hand in such an awkward way to not get smudges from resting my hand on the device, that it wasn't comfortable. I would also get, at best, crayon type results. The pencil has changed everything! It is precise and is truly like using traditional methods. While sketching, I actually forgot for a moment that I was using an electronic device.
