Yes, it's not your average stylus...nor is its capabilities average in any way. The Apple Pencil is arguably one of the best - if not, the best - styli currently in the market. The device works seamlessly with the iPad Pro and this is no surprise as to why: both of them were engineered to work hand-in-hand. In a nutshell, the Apple solved the latency issue - which is apparent in some tablets - through sensors which scan the Apple Pencil signal by by 240 times per second. This is about twice the data it receives when you use your hand. The iPad Pro's screen also detects how the Apple Pencil is oriented or if there is pressure - or lack of it - applied.
