[Colorware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorware-1) is no stranger to playful design, having released products that date back to the era of the [iPhone 3G](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-14-ultra-concept) and its latest arrives in the form of the limited edition Apple Number 2 Pencil. The clever product turns the iconic 2nd-gen stylus into the traditional HB #2 pencil from the color and details.

It features "pixel-perfect precision, tilt and pressure sensitivity, and imperceptible lag" as explained by Apple. Colorware states on the product page, "What sets it apart? It connects with your [iPad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-apple-pencil) in a snap, charges without a hitch, and delivers precision that feels just right. And it’s styled after the familiar pencil we all know, upgraded for today’s tech. It’s not just smart; it’s a smart looker too."
