Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
I am purchase ipad air 2 and I am a medical student so I USED TO TAKE NOTES VERY MUCH so I need to know WHAT IS THE BEST STYLUS FOR NOTE TAKING, SKETCHING and DRAWING On iPAD AIR 2 ??? (I searched this very much on browser and you tube but there is a problem with stylus on air 2 with the air 2 screen technology)
null-OTHER, iOS 10.3.1, I pad AIR 2
I'll second the Adonit Pixel.
The Adonit Pixel Bluetooth smart stylus works across almost every iPad made except the very old iPad 2.
Palm rejection is good!
Adonit's wensite states the Pixel stylus battery life is 15 hours of continuous use. 2-3 month standby
I have this stylus and I have only eeked-out between 7- 8 hours of continuous use. About half it's rated battery life.
It takes about a hour to charge from 0 charge.
So, it's very quick to charge.
To make sure you get the latest firmware for Adonit's Bluetooth Stylii, order one of these DIRECTLY from the Adonit website and not from Amazon.
FYI,
Also, with most 3rd party Bluetooth stylii, there is a "learning curve" to using one.
You have to play with setting up the proper plam rejection angke of your hand for consistent result.
In addition, with Bluetooth stylii that have palm rejection, you need to lay your palm/hand on the screen, first, before attempting to write and make sure to keep your palm down on the screen as you write!
Some users post negative reviews of 3rd party smart Bluetooth stylii when it is clear to users, that use these smart stylus devices regularly on their mobile devices, that other users aren't using these smart stylii correctly and come to a premature conclusion that the stylus doesn't work or is not working correctly or as expected.
Just a heads up if you have never used a smart Bluetooth stylus before.

The best choice is to not get the iPad Air 2. It has serious issues with styluses because of design changes that Apple implemented between the original Air and Air 2. Very ironic timing, which people have noted, directly on the cusp of introducing the iPad Pro. When I got an Air 2 I was very annoyed by the touch issues (the screen isn't very sensitive to a stylus and experiences skipping and feedback delay) and I scoured the internet and read alot of reviews -- many people suggested the Adonit, Pencil by Fifty-Three also has really good results. The main "theme" of many people's experiences however with the Air 2 are that there are no ideal styluses for the Air 2 and very few excellent experiences because of the design issues of the tablet. The issue with some of the adonit styluses is that if you are getting one with a disc-shaped or hard tip on the end, this will be a pretty hard writing experience tapping against glass. I have tried basic styluses and bluetooth styluses with it -- both had subpar results. Even the same capacitive touch stylus like the bamboo solo works much worse with the Air 2 than with the iPad 4 Retina I had previously. I'm honestly just biding my time with the Air 2 and I'm not straying from the Bamboo Solo -- you can still get the older classier version of this stylus on Amazon for $9, half the price of what it used to be. You won't be limited to specific programs with it, you won't have the burdens of running down your battery with bluetooth in order for it to run, and you will be able to use it on any touch device. Worst case -- if you lose it you won't be out $50-$70 on a stylus that doesn't get astronomically better results if you lose it.
