EJ 4 I only tried to use it for writing on my iPad air 4. First, I tried to write without any film protector on the screen. Then I put a matte film and I tried writing again. For both, it's writing perfectly well but it feels a lot better with the matte protective film.I think that in terms of just writing notes, there is no difference with the apple pencil 2. I normally borrow my friend's iPad pro and apple pencil to write some doodles so I know the feeling of using the apple pencil.I just bought it several hours ago and I don't know how the pencil will perform in the long run but I hope that it stay perfect.
