iPad + Apple Pencil

Not a day goes by that I don’t use my Apple Pencil. I’m in the camp that mostly uses it for marking up PDFs and handwritten notes. When I present information on screen, I use the pencil to create call out boxes and the like. I use the feature that converts handwritten text to typewritten text for searches and for composing emails and the like. I recently burned my Apple Pencil to a crisp (Maillard reaction and Apple Pencils) and had to wait about a week for a new one. I realized how hard it was to do all the things I do on an iPad without the pencil. I’m pretty reliant on it.

One of my favorite things to do is markup documents with the Pencil while riding in an Uber. Dorky, perhaps, but I always found it hard to pull out a laptop or get much work done on my phone while riding in a car. But it’s seamless to pull out my iPad and get real work done without skipping a beat.
