For an iPad mini 4 I just bought. For drawing, painting, sketches, etc...
Would love some recommendations please.
Thanks

I got Pencil when it first came out (literally the first week) and mine has never really worked correctly. I guess it's much better now?

Hmmmm... if you're really serious about sketching, you should at least get the 9.7" iPad Pro. This will let you use the Apple Pencil, which is miles better than any other stylus available for iOS devices.
Oh well.
It definitely is, I know from experience just how much better the Pencil is than any other stylus for iOS devices. But getting a whole new iPad and Pencil might not necessarily be an option for them at the moment. So there's no harm in starting out with some of the next best options.
Agreed. The OP mentioned that the iPad mini 4 was just purchased though, specifically for sketching, which makes me wonder if it was a form factor decision or an "on-sale" decision.
On a tangent, I do wonder if the iPad mini form factor will get Pencil support eventually. I'm going to be really confused if they start calling it iPad mini Pro though (iPad Pro mini?)
[doublepost=1462810246][/doublepost]I do think I'll try another stylus or two just to test. This really is a trial to see if I want to give up pen and paper to write and sketch and maybe start printing my sketch work small at home.Hopefully not literally.![]()
It was a form factor decision. I needed something small enough to take with me all the time.
Makes sense. The iPad mini is great for portability while minimizing the compromise in screen size.
I really do hope Apple Pencil support comes to the mini as well. I just hope Apple doesn't let this whole "Pro" marketing terminology become an excuse to not justify it on the iPad mini form factor (not big enough to be Pro? It's hard to tell with Apple these days - the suffix makes little sense to me ever since the 9.7" iPad Pro (then what is the Air 3? is there an Air 3? why buy an Air 3 without Pencil / Smart connector support? and the rant goes on....)).
I am confident that the Pencil is coming to the iPad mini in the guise of the iPad Pro mini. The "Pro" moniker is nothing more than the follow-on to the "Air" and a way of distinguishing which devices support the Pencil and which don't.Makes sense.

Does Apple have the technology locked up for the use of stylus pens on the IPad Pro? Why has the competition not built a better Pencil for all IPads? After all Wacom, Adonit and others were there way before Apple stepped in. I have the Apple pencil but I am looking for options which will work on other devices. I have a feeling they are running out old AMAZON inventory before releasing new improved stuff.
