So I recently bought an M4 iPad Pro, and an Apple Pencil.
I was wondering, what do you use your Apple Pencil for?

Just drawing. Though it’s for that reason I can’t use a screen protector (or at least a glass one).
I’ve tried matte film protectors and I just can’t ignore the rainbow like effect that shows up on the screen. I’m honestly fine being able to draw on the bare glass. Plus I got Apple Care+ on my M4 iPad Pro. I just use the devices as Apple intended lol.
I use mine as a precision pointer in apps like Affinity Photo. The circle you get with a connected mouse/trackpad is just unusable for some tasks.
My wife likes her Apple Pencil USB because she needs another device to keep charged.
Have you seen the new Apple Pencil advertising slogan: “Collect all four!”

I purchased the iPad specifically for the functionality of the pencil. The iPad has replaced a cabinet full of 3-Ring binders of training material. The pencil allows me to take notes for myself as well as corrections which I can then send to the curriculum developer for updates.
It has also replaced numerous notepads I used to have stashed around.

Writing notes (Goodnotes mostly), light scribbling to visualize layout ideas for the team or clients (which is a far cry from «drawing» ;-)), marking up PDFs... and as a somewhat subideal replacement for Wacom intros Pro L on the Go. The Pro-Pencil and Slate made it bearable and actually a bit better (with USB at least) than the Movink 13 was, to my surprise. It would be nice if Adobe came up with an extension that allows marking up on INDD-Files for correction instead of PDF, that would be an amazing use case for the PP.
Best Apple pencil uses: removing built up wax from the outermost parts of my ears, gouging out belly button lint, and the always interesting pencil test for boobs.
