ASIN: B0D3J71RM7Model: MX2D3AM/ACategory: Stylus Pens

Overview

Apple's current stylus (model MX2D3AM/A) for compatible iPad Pro (M4/M5), iPad Air (M2 through M4) and iPad mini (A17 Pro), with pressure and tilt sensitivity, squeeze and barrel-roll gestures, and magnetic charging and pairing.

One reviewer using an iPad Air 13 inch M3 reported the pencil occasionally missed drawing parts of a line, without being sure whether the pencil or the screen was the cause.

  • Works with iPad Pro M4/M5, Air M2-M4, mini A17 Pro
  • Pressure and tilt sensitivity
  • Squeeze and barrel-roll gestures
  • Magnetic charge and pair, hover preview

Who it's for

IPad owners doing drawing, note-taking or document markup on a supported model. Not for anyone whose iPad model falls outside the listed compatibility, such as an older standard iPad or an iPad mini before the A17 Pro chip.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Fast pairing, no separate charging cable
  • Pressure and tilt feel natural for drawing
  • Squeeze and barrel-roll gestures speed up tool changes
  • Magnetic parking on the iPad edge is tidy
Cons
  • Price is high next to third-party styluses
  • One reviewer saw occasional missed line segments

Performance notes

It pairs and charges by attaching magnetically to the side of the iPad, and squeeze and barrel-roll gestures let a user swap tools or brushes without leaving the canvas. On supported iPad Pro and Air models, hovering the pencil above the screen previews where a mark will land before it touches down.
