I am try to find out the difference, if any, of these two models of the pencils sold on various websites. Amazon sells one model, Best Buy sells another, and Apple Store does not even state what model they sell.

Answer
I have an apple pencil too and have had a hard time using it the way I expected. If you have a printer available, you can turn the print preview into a pdf which then can be opened and annotated using the pencil. I use the pinch to zoom gesture to create the PDF and open it in the Adobe app to annotate. I guess you can also take a screenshot and mark up the photo.

Best Answer:I have two gen 3 iPads and neither respond to the Apple Pencil. I didn't expect any kind of inking to work, but I thought it would work as a basic stylus at least. It does not.

How can I used the pen with iPad pro
- Asked by Gerges G from Staten Island
- 09 7, 16
- Flag as inappropriate (How can I used the pen with iPad pro)
Best Answer:Pull the back of the pencil off to find the connector. Plug the connector into the bottom of the iPad Pro (lightening connector). The iPad screen will ask if you want to match the pencil (Bluetooth) with the iPad Pro. Agree to that. According to the instructions from Apple instructions online, it takes only 15 seconds in that connection to charge up the pencil for 30 minutes of use. Apple says you can also charge the USB with a standard USB - lightening connection cable. What I don't know is how long it is safe to charge the pencil using this second system, but I do know that it works beautifully with the first system, too.
