And that is exactly the problem: you have to carry the adapter around too. No convenient way to do that apart from a separate case for that purpose (I prefer holder built in to iPad case).
Before I even got my AP1, I bought this little silicon holder thing for it that attaches to the Pencil but it was so ugly and awkward I never actually used it. So the adapter remains in the box that Pencil came from and I’ve never used it either.
Well, it is not so bad, given how little time it takes to charge. And I’m happy that the AP1 I have will work with iPad mini when I get around to buying one.
Crayon seems a bit more reasonable in terms of pairing and charging, but it only works with latest generation iPads, and it does not have all the functionality of AP1.
AP2 is more ‘seamless’ (charging ports, no cap to lose) but of course that needs iPad Pro latest generation. And does not work with Qi charging standard.
