Sketching with Ipad

Can you recommend a stylus for this IPad Air 2 model A1567! I know the ipencil doesn’t work with it.

In absence of support for Apple Pencil, your options are limited. Some third-party stylus’ are available (such as Adonit), however, these are entirely dependent upon explicit support being provided by third-party Apps. Otherwise, whilst perhaps offering greater precision, a simple capacitive stylus provides no more functionality than a fingertip.


Perhaps a better solution would be to consider replacement of your iPad Air2 with a newer model of iPad - that provides full support for Apple Pencil.
