Apple Pencil Pro vs ESR Geo Pencil: I tested both, here's what I recommend

If you've got an iPad, chances are you've considered getting an Apple Pencil or a similar stylus. While they all do the same thing on paper, the market is filled with numerous options. The Apple Pencil lineup certainly takes the cake in terms of popularity, but other brands offer competitive options with all the features you need.

Apple's Pencil Pro is the latest in the series, and is compatible with iPadOS 17.5 and the iPad Pro 11-inch and 13-inch (M4 and M5), iPad Air 11-inch and 13-inch (M2 and M3), and iPad mini (A17 Pro). The ESR Geo Pencil is compatible with most iPads made after 2018, including the latest 2025 models.
