Hi i am wondering if it might be useful to buy an Apple Pencil for my iPad Mini 5
I am not neither an artist nor writer
I might take some notes and drawing for fun
I am actually more interested for anything else
Well i am wondering if Pencil would work for usage such as:
- Using Pencil for scrolling, closing apps, sweeping...

I would like to use Pencil like a mouse for a computer, you see what i mean?
In my own case, i use my Mini for multimedia purpose (watching videos, YouTube, web browsing, mail)
I would know if there is any benefit to use Pencil instead of my own fingers^^

Thanks

Then yes, you should buy the pencil. But keep in mind that it's not for operating the user interface. It's a drawing tool. Don't expect it to work like a mouse. The iOS user interface is best operated with fingers, as it is designed for that.
