You can buy replacement tips (Opens in a new window), because they will wear out eventually, but there aren't alternative styles. Unfortunately, the Apple Pencil doesn't support them. For advanced artists, these can be very valuable. The replaceable tips-or nibs, as they're called-on some professional styli can come in a variety of textures that simulate the feeling of markers, pens, or even chisels (Opens in a new window). The tip of your stylus can have a significant impact on how it feels while drawing. If you want to see how it feels for you, the safest option is to try it out in your local Apple Store before committing. There also isn't much difference (Opens in a new window) between the first- and second-generation Apple Pencil when it comes to sensitivity (the latter only works on the iPad Pro lineup). Microsoft's most recent Surface Pen (Opens in a new window) splits the difference with 4,096 sensitivity levels.įrustratingly, Apple doesn't reveal official sensitivity levels for either generation of Apple Pencil, but anecdotally (Opens in a new window), artists says it's about as sensitive as competing styli. Some say they're fine with a stylus that has 2,048 levels, while others swear by Wacom's latest with a whopping 8,192 levels (Opens in a new window). There are no set rules for how many sensitivity levels you need to get work done. The more sensitivity levels, the finer the control you have over the pressure of your pen strokes. To simulate this, styli support sensitivity levels, which are how many levels of pressure they can distinguish.
The stylus you use with your drawing tablet needs to be able to do the same. With a pencil or a brush in real life, the harder you press, the stronger of a mark you make.
