Apple Pencil

Dream it up.
Jot it down.

Apple Pencil sets the standard for how drawing, note‑taking, and marking up documents should feel — intuitive, precise, and magical. And on iPad Pro, Apple Pencil hover shows you exactly where your Apple Pencil will touch down on your display, so you can write, sketch, and illustrate with even greater precision.
