Is the Apple Pencil worth it? 👀

I have had my Apple Pencil pro for a few years now, and I can tell you I use it almost every time I pick up my iPad. Here’s how I use mine

- coloring:

I use pdf files to color during my downtime and honestly just as a stress reliever and the pencil comes in handy

- handwriting/ note-taking :

I have tons of notes in the note app that are handwritten because I find it easier, I also use good notes with planner templates and use the pen to write.

- Highlighting:

sometimes when reading a book or just a pdf of my iPad I like to highlight, so the pen comes in handy since it mimics an actual highlighter rather than digital.

🌸Apple Pencil vs knockoffs 🌸

Personally I prefer the Apple Pencil because it feels more natural than the knock offs.

It’s precise and integrates with your iOS device seemingly.

🌸Con:

doesn’t have find my device, so if it gets lost, there’s no way to track it.

🌸Accessories:

- case

- different tip sizes

🌸Price

Amazon: $114

Apple: $129

I can’t live without mine! I just wish Apple made them in metallic colors or offered prettier options. I’ve found some covers on Amazon, but none that I’m obsessed with. Do you have any recommendations?
