I got an Apple Pencil today and have been exploring what it can do. I really like it. I've never been in love with touchscreen interfaces designed to be used with fingers. My old, arthritic hands have made using smartphone/tablet interfaces less than enjoyable. But using the Apple Pencil for 90% of what I had been using my fingers to do makes it a lot better. I can certainly select/highlight text better with the AP, and my aim for touching buttons etc. is also way more accurate. And of course the AP was designed for drawing, writing, highlighting, and other tasks that I haven't fully explored yet, but I'm loving what I've seen so far.

Having moved up to the Pro from an old Mini 2 is like stepping out of the dark into the daylight. The Pro is super fast.

My Otterbox Defender case will be delivered tomorrow. I can't wait as the Pro is way too thin to comfortably hold and use while naked. The case will take care of that. I just don't buy into the idea that thinner is better. It isn't if you have arthritis. But cases help, and they add a lot of protection too. So win win.
