Overview

• Apple now sells four Apple Pencil models, with the Pro positioned as the high-end option at $129.
• The Pro adds exclusive squeeze and barrel roll gestures plus haptic feedback and Find My, alongside pressure, tilt and hover support.
• It pairs and charges magnetically with supported M‑series iPads running iPadOS 17.5, and it is not compatible with older models.
• Setup guidance covers attaching to pair, customizing squeeze or double-tap in Settings, using the tool palette via a squeeze, and relying on haptic cues for confirmation.
• Apps such as Notes, Freeform and Procreate support the Pro’s features for sketching, PDF markup and Scribble, with tip replacement and battery monitoring recommended.
