Hi, does aan Apple pencil work on aan iPad Air 2?
iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi, Cellular
No, unfortunately not.
No, unfortunately not.
No, it doesn't, but that doesn't mean you can't use a good pencil with your iPad. The Adonit Pixel is highly regarded as an option and it works with many (not all) of the same apps the Apple Pencil works with.
No.
The Adonit Pixel works with a small subset of Apple Pencil compatible apps ( approx 2 dozen of the more popular sketching/drawing/painting/notes apps ).
To get the most up to date installed firmware, order one of these directly from Adonit.

Also, there are many pairing and setup options in Adonit compatible apps that need to get setup for the Pixel within these apps.
You just do not just writng with the Pixel as soon as you take it out of the box.
Good Luck to You!
Here’s my “up to date”, comprehensive, but still incomplete, list of Adonit Pixel/Pixel Pro compatible apps for the
iPad/iPad Pro.
Most apps listed support pressure sensing and palm rejection.
Compatible Adonit Pixel apps for drawing
Animation Desk
Amaziograph
Adobe Photoshop Sketch
( palm rejection ONLY, No pressure, no sensing/line variations )
ArtRage
Art Studio Pro
( fully supports the Adonit Pixel and is just as great as Procreate on the iPad )
AutoDesk SketchBook
Colored Pencil
Comic Draw
Concepts
Interactive SketchBook
Medibang Paint
ProCreate
( unofficially supported but all Bluetooth stylus features all still work, palm rejection improved using special, non- body electrical conducting, lycra-based material drawing glove )
Tayasui Sketches/Sketches Pro
( the new, free Tayasui Sketches School version works with this stylus, but without any palm rejection or pressure sensing, so you need to use a special, non-electrical conducting drawing glove with the Sketches School version to lay your hand/palm down on the iPad’s screen )
ZenBrush/Zen Brush 2
Compatible Adonit Pixel apps for Notes and Notes with
drawing types of apps.
GoodNotes
Notability
( palm rejection noticeably improved using special, non-body electrical conducting, lycra-based material drawing glove )
Note Shelf
Notes Plus
QuickNotes X Pro
uPad
Zoom Notes
PDF Pen
This stylus works with other non-compatible apps, too, but without any palm rejection and/or pressure features.
You can use this stylus with other apps but will not be able to lay your palm on the screen, unless you use special,
non-body electrical conducting, lycra-based material drawing glove that works by isolating your hand/palm and allow you
to lay your hand/palm on the screen as you draw in these non-compatible Adonit stylus apps.
Something like this, as an example.
If interested in this stylus, to make sure you get the latest installed stylus firmware, you must order the Adonit Pixel stylus directly from the Adonit website.
Good Luck to You!
