As per the subject: looking to pick one up if I can over the next two days, but everyone seems out of stock. Does anyone have a tip where I could find one still?

Thanks

I ordered mine direct from Apple (online) about a month ago and it only took a day or so to arrive.

Yep spoke to them today: they can deliver it by Monday... Was hoping to have it before the weekend, as I will be travelling next week.

Yup rang everyone: only place with 2 left was warehouse stationary. They do charge 189 so if you're not in a rush its better to order via apple online. What an amazing tool by the way :-)

Cool, thanks. Make sure you contact them along with the price that apple.co.nz has them for; they'll beat it by 5% http://www.warehousestationery.co.nz/content/guarantees.html

Sounds like WS haven't updated their price on the Pencil to the new RRP.

Just out of interest, what apps do people use their Apple pencils with ?

Software Engineer
(the practice of real science, engineering and management)
A.I. (Automation rebranded)
Gender Neutral
(a person who believes in equality and who does not believe in/use stereotypes. Examples such as gender, binary, nonbinary, male/female etc.)

...they/their/them...

Wouldn't buying from Apple be classed as:

direct-from-supplier purchases?

Which isn't covered in the Beat it by 5% deal.

I personally just use mine with OneNote. It's so easy to just jot down notes in meetings, then when I get back to the office the notes are waiting for me on my Mac & iPhone.

Also great for quick sketching too, though I haven't found an easy app for that apart from the iOS Notes app which is a bit basic.

I got mine from Noel Leeming when I got my iPad Pro. That had stacks of them.

Noel learning won't price match a store that doesn't have a physical pressance in nz. Best bet is JBHIFI
