The main pros of the Apple Pencil Pro are at $99 (below the $129 msrp) it costs less than the old apple pencil 2 and matches the basic usb-c pencil while adding far more and squeeze gesture pops a tool palette so you jump between pen, highlighter, and eraser without reaching the toolbar. The main downside is compatibility is narrow — it works only with ipad pro (m4/m5), ipad air (m2/m3/m4), and ipad mini (a17 pro), not the base ipad or any pre-m2 air. Overall, experts rate it "Recommended" with a 8.6/10 consensus score.
