With the new 13-inch and 11-inch M4 iPad Pros, Apple also launched its latest iteration of Apple Pencil — the Apple Pencil Pro. While Apple has a bad habit of using the Pro moniker too liberally, the new Apple Pencil Pro seems to live up to its name by introducing several new features. In this guide, we will compare the Apple Pencil Pro with the Apple Pencil 2 and tell you all the features the Pro version gets you.

Unboxing and first impressions

Unboxing the Apple Pencil Pro, you will notice it looks identical to the Apple Pencil 2. It has the same dimensions, and while the Apple Pencil Pro is slightly heavier than the Pencil 2, thanks to the inclusion of a pressure-sensitive pad and haptic engine, the difference of 0.95 grams is not noticeable, at least to me. It even uses the same Pencil replacement tips as the last one. The only way to differentiate between the two is by the  Pencil Pro branding on the new one.
