The first-generation Apple Pencil is known for its high precision and smooth, virtually lag-free operation. This makes it ideal for sketching, drawing, calligraphy, note-taking and precise document editing. Writing feels natural, like using a real pencil or pen on paper—perfect for both creative and practical applications.

Unlike the second generation, the Apple Pencil (1st generation) charges via the Lightning connector, which is discreetly hidden under the end. A short charging time provides hours of fun. Thanks to the extremely sensitive pressure and tilt angle detection, you can easily vary line thickness and shadow, allowing you to add even more expression to your work.

Compatible with a variety of iPad models, including previous iPad Pro, iPad and iPad mini generations, the Apple Pencil (1st generation) provides a reliable and intuitive experience for artists, students and professionals who want to work with precision.
