MUWA3ZM/A - Apple Pencil 3 (USB-C)

Apple Pencil (USB-C) – Technical Overview

The Apple Pencil (USB-C) is Apple's most affordable active stylus for iPad. Sellers often list it as "Apple Pencil 3". It gives the same pixel-perfect precision and low latency as Apple's other pencils, and adds USB-C pairing and charging plus magnetic storage on the side of the iPad. It is a strong choice for students, note-takers and casual sketchers who want a genuine Apple Pencil at a lower price.

Pixel-Perfect Precision and Low Latency

Apple Pencil (USB-C) tracks the tip position with pixel-level accuracy, and its low-latency response keeps lines appearing right under the tip as you write or draw. Handwriting in Notes, GoodNotes or Notability feels natural, and fine details in sketches, diagrams and PDF markups come out clean and precise.

Tilt Sensitivity for Shading and Natural Strokes

Tilt sensitivity detects the angle of the pencil, so lines change in width and shading as you tilt the tip, much like a real pencil. Artists can shade with the side of the tip, and highlighting and calligraphy feel more natural.

Hover Support on Compatible iPad Pro Models

On supported iPad Pro models, including the iPad Pro 12.9-inch (6th generation) and iPad Pro 11-inch (4th generation), hover lets the iPad detect the pencil before it touches the screen. You can preview brush strokes, tool sizes and colours before marking the screen, which speeds up drawing and design work.

USB-C Pairing and Charging

A sliding end cap hides a USB-C port. Connect the pencil to an iPad with a USB-C port using a USB-C cable to pair it over Bluetooth, and use the same cable to charge it. There is no separate adapter to keep track of, and the USB-C port matches the connector used by current iPad models, Macs and iPhone 15 or later.

Magnetic Attachment and Flat-Sided Design

One flat side keeps the pencil from rolling off a desk and lets it attach magnetically to the side of a compatible iPad, so it is always within reach. Note that this model does not charge through the magnetic connection; charging is by USB-C cable only.

Lightweight Ergonomic Build

The pencil measures 155 mm long and 8.9 mm in diameter, and weighs just 20.5 g. Its matte white finish gives a comfortable grip for long note-taking sessions, lectures and drawing work.

What This Model Does Not Include

To keep the price down, Apple Pencil (USB-C) leaves out some features of the higher-end models:

• No pressure sensitivity.
• No wireless or magnetic charging.
• No double-tap or squeeze gestures.

Users who need these features should consider Apple Pencil Pro or Apple Pencil (2nd generation), depending on their iPad.

iPad Compatibility

Retailers list compatibility with the following iPad models:

• iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd to 6th generation)
• iPad Pro 11-inch (1st to 4th generation)
• iPad Air (4th and 5th generation)

• iPad mini (6th generation)
