We get many questions about tablets for law school. One of the most frequent questions is: “does the apple pencil come with the iPad?” As explained below, there is a reason that the Apple Pencil is a standalone product offered by Apple.
Does the Apple Pencil Come with the iPad?
Answer: No, unfortunately the Apple Pencil does not come with either the iPad Air or the iPad Pro.
Also, don’t hold your breath for the Apple pencil to be included with the purchase of a tablet. Apple has a reputation for requiring expensive accessories or replacement parts. Thus, law students should always consider an additional cost that is not included in the main product when purchasing tablets from Apple.
So, it is highly unlikely that Apple will ever combine two high revenue items into one.
That being said, if you are looking for a tablet that comes with a tablet pen, there are many options on the market.
Which tablets include a pen?
For example, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 12.4-inch comes with a pen. Also, although not exactly a tablet, but sort of a laptop-tablet hybrid, the Lenovo Flex 5 14-inch comes with a pen.
