Apple Pencil shaky lines

This maybe normal behaviour.

All stylus write on an invisible stylus grid/digitizer grid screen layer on tablets.

The slower you write with a stylus the more pronounced the grid will appear. Again, at varying severity.

All stylii show this line wobble to varying degrees and severity.

Most Bluetooth stylii will show this digitising to a lesser degree, but it is still there.

Also, some writing/drawing apps will show this effect to a lesser degree, too!

Depends on the writng or drawing app.

The faster you and write or render a mark,the less noticeable the digitizer grid effect will appear.

My Adonit Pixel shows this effect when drawing or writing slow, on my 4-year old iPad Pro, at about the same degree as what you show with the Apple Pencil.

This is actually better than whwt you get with some non-Bluetooth, commonplace capacitive stylii and with some other non-Apple third active, battery powered stylus makers.

Many other less known, third party stylii show this digitising effect much worse than what your Apple Pencil is showing.

If you write or drawing a little faster, this effect will become minimised and less noticeable.

Have you tried sanitizing your screen with some Rubbing Alcohol and/or microfiber cloth to remove any of the excess oils and grease that could’ve built up on your screen? Try that and see if it makes things better.

Hello,

I suggest that you reach out to Apple for assistance.

I have the same problem, when you use your finger to write or draw does it make any difference compared to the pencil? I have the same iPad and tried on apps like procreate and notes. I also have a screen protector the funny thing is that the pencil didn’t do it in the past and the protector is on my iPad since day one. Could it be a software issue? I have a .26mm glass protector

Do you have a screen protector on? This happens inevitably when you put a thick tempered glass screen protector. If you want to write on your iPad, I suggest you use regular, plastic screen protector that are relatively thin.
