What is the difference between Apple Pencil and Stylus Pen ?

In essence, the apple pencil is also a stylus pen, but the apple pencil is a technologically sensitive universal pen, controlled by Bluetooth and a chip. The general stylus pens are divided into two categories: one is an Active Stylus Pen, and the other is a Passive Stylus Pen. The passive stylus pen is relatively primitive and made by the principle of physical conduction, while the active stylus pen is made of For circuit board control, active stylus pens are currently recognized by everyone.

The differences

1. Pressure Sensitive

This is the biggest difference between an ordinary stylus pen and Apple Pencil. The pressure sensitivity is to imitate the experience of writing on paper. The font will become thicker when you write hard, and the font will become thinner when you write lightly. It is a real experience, and at the same time you can write characters with a sharp pen, and the ordinary stylus pens do not have this function.

The tilt pressure sensitivity is a function developed by Apple for the drawing group. The thickness of the line can be changed by changing the angle of the pen. The lower the pen pressure, the thicker the line. This is also imitating people using a sketch pen to draw on paper. The experience of painting. However, this function has been developed by several professional stylus pen brands such as IQS, which is the same as Apple Pencil. So as long as you choose an ordinary stylus pen with tilt sensitivity, you can get a good drawing experience!

2. Charging Method

The apple pencil uses wireless Bluetooth charging. You only need to place the applepencil on the metal sensor to charge it.

The ordinary stylus pen requires a data cable to be connected for charging. Now some brands have also developed a wireless charging compartment, which can be charged by putting the capacitive pen in.

3. Connection Method

The apple pencil needs to be turned on Bluetooth for pairing connection to use, while ordinary stylus pens can be used directly on the iPad by directly pressing the switch, and some products even use a touch switch, which can be opened with a touch of the pen cap.

4. Writing experience
Because the apple pencil uses Apple`s exclusive chip and Bluetooth transmission, it is more excellent in sensitivity, delay, etc., the writing experience is better and smoother, and the written characters are also better.

In summary, the main advantage of the Apple pencil lies in the writing experience, while the ordinary stylus pen is mainly reflected in the price advantage. However, with the technological innovation of domestically made ordinary stylus pens, the writing experience has been greatly improved. If it is just ordinary writing, taking notes, etc., there is basically no difference.
