Why the Apple Pencil 2?
The original, first-generation Apple Pencil was a breakthrough stylus with pixel-perfect precision, palm rejection, and pressure and tilt sensivity. The biggest complaint was probably the awkward charging method: sticking straight out from the iPad's Lightning port. The second-generation Apple Pencil improved on those features. It has magnetic wireless charging along the side of the iPad, which makes a lot more sense. You can double-tap to change tools. Plus, it has a flat side for a more comfortable grip and to keep it from rolling off your desk.
