Review using iPad Pro dedicated stylus pen "Apple Pencil" for memos and drawing

Boasting a scanning speed of 240 times per second, by sensing the number of data points twice that when tapping the screen with your finger, Apple's first stylus pen for iOS devices with a time lag of only a few milliseconds is "Apple Pencil"is. Apple PencilIPad ProIt was developed exclusively, I arrived at the editorial department after about a week from the shipment of iPad Pro, so I actually tried using it.

Apple Pencil is in a white background box common to Apple products.


On the back side of the box, the fast charging method of Apple Pencil using iPad Pro is drawn by illustration.


When opening the box by pulling the side tabs ......


Apple Pencil that fits perfectly in the inner box appeared.


This is Apple Pencil. There are no buttons, logos, etc. on the axis, making it simple.


Weight is 20 g in actual measurement.


Taking it in your hand is like this. As the name of "Apple Pencil", it is as long as a new pencil, it is longer compared to ballpoint pen and pencil.


At the top of the pen is embedded a magnet carved with a silver "Apple Pencil" logo.


The pen's cap is fixed with a magnet type, and when you remove the cap, the Lightning terminal for charging appears.


The pen tip is a slightly round shape.


Turning the nib makes it possible to remove the tip, and when the pen tip gets stuck it can be replaced with a replacement pen tip.


In the documentation, there is a charging adapter and a spare pen tip.


You can charge Apple Pencil with Lightning cable for iPad or iPhone by removing cap of Apple Pencil and plugging adapter for charging into Lightning terminal.


If you are charging the Apple Pencil quickly, plug it into the lightning port of the iPad Pro.


When you connect for the first time, "Bluetooth pairing request" is displayed, so tap "Pairing".


Open "Bluetooth" on the setting screen and ready if Apple Pencil is able to connect.


Since iOS 9, sketch function was added to the standard "memo" application, so tried writing with Apple Pencil. Since the thickness of the line and the shading of the color change according to the strength of the writing pressure and the delay of drawing is hardly felt, it feels like a feeling writing using a paper and a pencil.


When trial writing with "pen", "marker" and "pencil" of the standard memo appli, I tried writing, the thickness and shade of the line changed with pen pressure, "marker" (middle) knocked the pen tip The thickness changes in case. In addition to being able to change thickness and shading with writing pressure, "Pencil" (bottom) can reproduce the touch which wrote just like laying down a pencil just like putting down a pen tip and writing it.


The way you actually use Apple Pencil can be seen in the following movie.

You can see the illustration drawing on iPad Pro using Apple Pencil in the following movie.

When I heard the impression that I actually did drawing, "I am comfortable in drawing, enough level if I can not distinguish fine writing pressure properly". To draw an illustration I do not want to have a beautiful color, so at that point the iPad Pro's display seems to have a good impression of color. However, "I was told that it is difficult for Illustrative Produce to erroneously recognize when the side of the hand touches the display and some points will come out."


Also, when you quickly charge Apple Pencil's Lightning terminal to iPad Pro, placing the iPad Pro on the desk causes the iPad Pro to float off the desk with the thickness of the Apple Pencil.


In addition, Apple Pencil is on sale at the Apple official website, and the price is 10,244 yen including tax. The shipping schedule at the time of article creation is 4 to 5 weeks.
