Full Creative Power at Entry Price

Even in 2025, the original Apple Pencil delivers the exact same pressure and tilt sensitivity as the Pro model – perfect lines, natural shading, and pixel-perfect accuracy in every supported app. For Kenyan students using iPad 10th-gen or older Pros, this means you get the complete drawing and writing experience without paying for features you don’t need (squeeze, barrel roll, etc.).

Simple & Reliable Charging

Remove the magnetic cap, plug into your iPad’s Lightning or USB-C port (with the included adapter), and charge. 15 seconds gives you 30 minutes, while a full charge takes about an hour. Many users simply leave it plugged in for a minute between classes – no wireless charging hassle, just pure reliability.
