I have two iPad Pros...I want one Apple pencil concurrently paired to BOTH of them (and I want it now).

I have two iPad Pros. One is for presentation, the other is not for presentation but I need it for reference and for sharing copied material to the Presentation iPad. I don't want to keep switching between two Apple Pencils. How can I use one pencil WITHOUT re-pairing EVERY time I switch to the other iPad?


It is clear that several bluetooth devices can be linked to an iPad at the same time. Why does it have to be dedicated linking? Why can't I have one pencil linked to two iPads. Clearly it is not possible to write on both iPads at the same time with one pencil (without sharing screens).


There's got to be a way around this by now.

Please direct me to alternatives that avoid repairing with every switch.


I love iPad Pros....just wish they could be linked better.

Ok so. a request for help with feature requests is ranting. Good to know that Apple considers this ranting. I apologize and will not use your platform again because this is just how I communicate.


However I did develop a way to work around the bluetooth dedicated device problem myself with a prototype device that works well…now just for me.

Oh, so you mean like how to write a Romance Novel? What was that mantra Apple used to have?...."Think Different"? It's ok,

I'll just stick with that mantra instead of Apple's new "Think Same" mantra. It makes one feel like they have just entered a Borg cube..."You shall be assimilated". Well, well...I can't wait to be assimilated...technological utopias are so delightful when the words exiting your mouth are not your own.
