3 Reasons You NEED the Apple Pencil | iPadOS (2022)

So you have or just bought an iPad, iPad mini or an iPad Pro. The question is... do you need the Apple Pencil?

In this video I give you three reasons why I think you should buy the Apple Pencil to use with your current iPad. It's great for fine point interaction with the UI, note taking and handwriting as well as drawing!

Omg. I’m a lefty too. The thought of being able to take notes without leaving ink and graphite all over my hands is honestly exciting.

Just to be clear, was Steve Jobs really talking about a Stylus in the context of a Tablet? I think he’s heavily misquoted on this. He was in fact referring to using a stylus on the Phone and that still holds true today. Remember, back then - there were phones that actually required a stylus as a primary input device and that’s the argument he was making. Even today, the iPad doesn’t require it - its’ an alternative method of input.

I don’t even use my Apple Pencil as a stylus, I use it on procreate for drawing.

I use the Apple Pencil for 2 things mainly
1. Drawing / sketching etc
2. Taking notes, planning, check lists etc

I’m saving for an iPad Pro and an Apple Pencil. In the meantime I’ll binge watch iPad Pro reviews and unboxing.

I just recently bought the Apple pencil series 1 for my iPad 10.2 7th generation and already can't imagine doing without it. Taking notes for example works really great, compared to writing on paper even better because you can easily erase/correct

This video helped make my decision. Unless you're drawing or signing stuff you don't need it and fingers work just fine.

I’m literally so happy bc I’m getting one for Christmas :D
Since they’re so expensive and I have siblings who needs gifts too, it’s all I’m getting, but I think it’s gonna be worth it :)
Also, *quality over quantity*
I’d rather have one amazing gift over a bunch of little things I wouldn’t use much
Okay no one cares lol but I don’t have anyone else to tell lmao

When you want the Pencil but you got no iPad ☹️😂

Just so you know, I saw you using the pencil with your left hand. Lightroom as standard comes with the slider controls on the right hand side, you can change this in setting to 'left handed editing' so the sliders are now on the left which means you're not constantly covering your picture :)

so so glad i saw a lefty using this....now i feel confident getting it lol

Even as a law student with terrible handwriting I still find the pencil invaluable for highlighting and annotating cases.

The #1 reason:





No more fingerprints on the screen.

I’m sold! I honestly did not feel I needed the Apple Pencil with my iPad Pro, but now I want one. Thanks Noah.

Just to clarify so users understand correct terminology: Highlighting text is different from selecting text. What you did around the 2:10 mark is select text. Highlighting makes something stand out as when we use a neon color to highlight. Selecting, as you did, allows the user to pick out a part of the text they want to work with (copy, underline, cut, etc.)

I’m actually about to get the mini 5.
I wasn’t even considering the pencil.
But now I’m convinced.

its just addicting looking at those black bezels with the mix of the silver edges with the wallpaper, period.

Being a fellow Leftie I like how you demonstrated how well it works for us southpaws.

I’m almost surprised you didn’t mention this since it includes you as well as me, but for me the Apple Pencil has been a really big deal with writing just because I’m a LEFTY! It is so much more comfortable to write on the iPad than in a notebook. No spiral to get in the way, and no smearing. It’s amazing lol.
