Generally speaking, an Apple pen is designed specifically to work with certain Apple products, while a stylus can be used with any touchscreen device. An Apple Pen offers more control and accuracy when drawing or writing on the screen than a standard stylus does because its tip is pressure sensitive and responds differently depending on how hard it\u2019s pressed against the screen. Additionally, some models of the Apple Pen also have features like palm rejection which allow you to rest your hand comfortably on the surface of your device without accidentally triggering any commands. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and what type of tasks you are using either tool for.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_the_Apple_Pencil_universal\"><\/span>Is the Apple Pencil universal?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>No, the Apple Pencil is not universal.
