In a word - no.


The Sony stylus is designed to work with MS Windows computers - such as the Sony Vaio. It is not designed or intended to work with iOS/iPad devices.


The Apple Pencil and compatible iPad devices use Apple-proprietary screen technology. With the sole exception of the Logitech Crayon (designed by Logitech in association with Apple), alternatives to Apple Pencil are basic “generic” Bluetooth Stylii - and require explicit third-party support that is provided by individual Apps.
