Compatible with iPad Pro (2018+, all sizes), iPad Air (3rd gen+), iPad Mini (5th gen+), and iPad (6th gen+). Same compatibility range as Apple Pencil 1st gen.
No. It has tilt sensitivity (angle for thick/thin lines) and palm rejection. Pressure sensitivity — pressing harder to make lines thicker — is an Apple Pencil exclusive hardware feature. For note-taking and annotation, tilt alone is sufficient.
Anker Pencil: 1,049 EGP. Apple Pencil 1st Gen: ~3,500 EGP. Apple Pencil 2nd Gen: ~5,000 EGP. Anker delivers tilt + palm rejection + magnetic at 30% of the price. Only Apple has pressure sensitivity. For students and note-takers, Anker is the rational choice.
No — the N52 magnet is for storage/attachment only. Charging is via USB-C (25 minutes to full). Wireless magnetic charging is an Apple Pencil 2nd Gen exclusive.
The POM tip lasts 6-12 months with daily use. 2 replacement tips are included in the box. Apple Pencil replacement tips also fit the Anker Pencil.
Yes — tilt sensitivity works in Procreate for shading and angle-dependent brushes. However, pressure-dependent brush effects (lighter/heavier strokes) will not work because the Anker Pencil lacks pressure sensitivity.
Anker 18-month warranty covers Bluetooth connectivity issues, tip mechanism failure, magnetic attachment defects, charging port issues, and battery degradation. Contact CairoVolt for free replacement.
Yes — palm rejection works regardless of hand position. Left-handed users can rest their palm naturally on the screen while writing without accidental marks.
The Anker Pencil (A7139) is the smart Apple Pencil alternative — tilt sensitivity, palm rejection, and N52 magnetic attachment at 70% less than Apple Pencil. Bluetooth 5.3 for instant pairing. 8 hours of continuous use. USB-C charges to full in 25 minutes. Compatible with iPad Pro (2018+), iPad Air (3rd gen+), iPad Mini (5th gen+), and iPad (6th gen+). 15.4g — lighter than a mechanical pencil. Comes with 2 replacement tips and is compatible with standard Apple Pencil tips. 18-month warranty. Available at EGP 1,049 from CairoVolt.
The Anker Pencil is the best Apple Pencil alternative in Egypt under 1,500 EGP. Here is the honest breakdown: it delivers tilt sensitivity (angle for thick/thin strokes) and palm rejection (rest your hand naturally). What it does not do: pressure sensitivity — pressing harder does not make lines thicker. That is an Apple Pencil exclusive. For 80% of users — students taking notes, architects annotating, teachers marking up — tilt + palm rejection is all you need. The N52 magnetic attachment is strong and satisfying. At 1,049 EGP vs Apple Pencil at ~3,500+ EGP, you get 80% of the functionality at 30% of the price. If you absolutely need pressure sensitivity for digital art (Procreate pressure brushes), save up for Apple Pencil 2. For everything else, the Anker Pencil is the rational choice.

The Anker Pencil supports tilt sensitivity — angle the tip against the screen and the stroke gets wider, like a real pencil shading. Hold it vertical and you get a fine, precise line. This works in Procreate, GoodNotes, Notability, Apple Notes, and any app that supports Apple Pencil. What it does not support: pressure sensitivity. Pressing harder does not change the stroke. This is a hardware limitation — only Apple Pencil has the pressure sensor. For note-taking and annotation, tilt alone is sufficient. For professional digital art with pressure-dependent brushes, Apple Pencil is needed.
Palm rejection technology detects the difference between your palm resting on the screen and the stylus tip touching it. You can write and draw with your hand resting naturally on the iPad — no accidental marks, no interrupted strokes. This is essential for left-handed users and anyone who writes extensively. The POM tip (1.5mm) provides a satisfying, pencil-like feel on the screen surface.
The N52 neodymium magnet is the strongest grade available in consumer electronics. The Pencil snaps firmly to the side of compatible iPads — strong enough to stay attached in a backpack or bag. It also acts as a sleep/wake trigger on some iPad models. Note: it does NOT charge wirelessly via the magnetic connection (that is an Apple Pencil 2 exclusive). The Anker Pencil charges via USB-C.
8 hours of continuous use covers a full school day or work session. USB-C charges from 0 to 100% in approximately 25 minutes. An LED indicator shows remaining battery. At 15.4g, it is lighter than most mechanical pencils, meaning zero hand fatigue even after hours of writing. Comes with 2 replacement POM tips, and it is also compatible with standard Apple Pencil tips if you want even more options.

Skip the Anker Pencil if: You need pressure sensitivity for professional Procreate art → save up for Apple Pencil 2nd Gen (~5,000 EGP). The Anker Pencil does not detect how hard you press.
Generic iPad styluses at 200-400 EGP on Egyptian social media lack Bluetooth, tilt sensitivity, AND palm rejection — they are just capacitive sticks. The Anker Pencil connects via BT 5.3 and has actual iPad integration. Genuine Anker Pencil: model A7139 on USB-C end, Anker logo laser-etched on barrel, POM 1.5mm tip (not rubber), LED battery indicator. Holographic Anker seal on packaging.
