Pencil just as a stylus?

My dad wants to get the 12.9 inch new iPad Pro and I’ll have to set it up when I go back in a month or so, but he’s tired of wearing out these rubber styluses with the hollow tip and they’re just not very good. I’ve been watching a couple of the review videos on YouTube with the new iPad Pro, and one or two of the reviewers seem to use the pencil as a stylus.

He’s not an artist

Not tech inclined very much

Can it just be used as a stylus that you never have to buy new tips for?

Yes, it can. My Pencil was simply used as a stylus since I’m not an artist.

The problem now might actually be finding a good case that is Apple Pencil compatible for the magnetic attachment. I ordered this case for it but then read the fine print later only to find out it’s not compatible with Apple pencil, but at this point we don’t know if he’ll get the pencil or not.
