The new iPad 9th Gen only supports Apple Pencil 1st gen, not the 2nd gen. Many of the older devices do not support the 2nd gen pencil.

Hi using a 7th generation iPad with latest iPadOS. I purchased this 1st gen Apple Pencil and it works really well. Got it at Best Buy during one day sale for $59. This was all before march 2020.

Get procreate for $10 … incredible painting app with no subscription. has a huge following. Procreate aims to challenge Adobe. Using procreate and a 1st gen Apple Pencil will surprise you.

Compared to Wacom pads and art apps in windows, an older iPad, 1st gen Apple Pencil, and an affordable but world class app opens many doors to aspiring artists.

Also, I use the same setup for work and class to take notes. The pencil works incredibly well with recognition software along with very powerful iPad apps that cost less than $10. These apps help organize notes. Also great with mind-map apps.

Give it a chance if you have a supported ipad.

Edit: link to pencils and which ones they support:

If I have this right, in fall 2019, we went with the 1st gen pencil because we were just cheap. Looking now at the iPads added since 2019, 1st gen pencil covers a lot of devices.

unless you do art & sketching on your ipad or take a lot of notes, neither pencil is "worth it". the pencil is really nice because you have touch sensitivity, tilt control and "palm rejection" (so if you rest your hand on the iPad screen, you can still use the pencil unlike, say, a normal stylus)

i use a 1st gen pencil with my base ipad to take notes on. an ipad + pencil + the goodnotes app is amazing. but that's mainly because i find myself in a lot of business meetings and i prefer taking pen/paper notes (vs typing them) because i also often need to chart/diagram on the fly.

if you aren't an artist or you don't spend a lot of time taking notes in business meetings and you spend most of your ipad time watching youtube while pooping, then no, of course you don't need a fancy $75 bluetooth stylus with tilt control and palm rejection laugh out loud

Great info, thank you.


I've been using a 1st-gen pencil w my 10.5" pro and thought that it was becoming ancient tech already. Good to know the market is still ripe and it has its place.

Not to hijack, but are there any recommendations for a cheaper, fully functional alternative for a young, amateur artist that work with the latest (non pro) iPad ?

Logitech makes one called the "Crayon" which is slightly cheaper.

The chinese companies make a slew of knockoffs on Amazon. The only concern with these is that even if the reviews are good, you never what you'll get. All the reviews are on the same product page, but they are "sold by" different vendors. So you'll see a good knockoff with solid reviews, then some other chinese seller will say "yeah, i sell this exact same product". But it might not be the same product at all. So you buy it thinking you're getting this well-reviewed item, but you're literally buying a knockoff of a knockoff lol

So you can buy it and return it, but then what? You buy the same item hoping you get one of the "good ones"? Then what if you don't? You return that too? What is your time worth? What is the time spent not having the actual product worth?

That's why it's almost worth it to simply shrug and spend the $75 on the official one.

Lol, you haven't been keeping up. They already have a premium "polishing cloth" for $19:

You're aware that those celebrities fell for a phishing scam and not because iCloud wasn't secure right? Don't spread misinformation.

Probably not, the cheap generic ipads pens on Amazon are not pressure sensitive and the ones with pressure sensitivity cost around this price and have mixed reviews. Might as well buy this and pay the Apple tax with a small discount.

Is the Apple pencil the only stylus that has tilt control and palm rejection on the iPad? I definitely think the iPad could easily support those things with other styluses. If it doesn't... that's a shameless money grab by Apple.

No. You can get a knock off for less than $20 that does the same thing.
