This is something that is not included in the first generation or anything close to it. This makes it an accessory that is ideal especially for those who use it to draw or write constantly since it saves you from having to choose a tool on the iPad screen.
You can choose to always have the draft at hand with these two taps on the shortcut. In this way with a double tap you can change tools without having to release the pencil. Taking advantage of the flat area that is included in the second generation Apple Pencil, a tactile area that is not in the first generation was included. This is a limiting factor for accessory compatibility as it will depend on this charging zone on the iPad. This also means that the user always has a charge in the Apple Pencil as it is always docked in the wireless charging port, called the Smart Connector. In this way it can be transported in a really simple way by not taking up too much space in that location. This includes a magnetic area where you can place the stylus to start charging. This changed with the arrival of the second generation model by opting for a wireless charging system that works by docking the Apple Pencil to the iPad. In many cases the combo itself has been compared to a lollipop by being able to take the iPad from the Apple Pencil. This is something really uncomfortable as it makes the device as a whole have a size in which it is almost impossible to transport. You need to remove a plug on the top to gain access to the Lightning connector that can be connected to the iPad through the charging port. The first Apple Pencil that was launched on the market has a somewhat peculiar charging method. One of the big changes that can be seen between the first and second generation model is undoubtedly the charging system.
