iMore

I have been reading imore a long time. Here and on numerous tech articles it's being said that accessories are a must for making full use of the pro. I have been using one for quite some time without the apple pencil or the keyboard case. Am I losing out?
Is it essential to the experience?

Or is it something I could live without? I am also using a macbook pro. So my typing needs get taken care of.

Please advise. Cheers!
