I wonder if they have done anything with writting lag.

I’ve used a ReMarkable tablet, and experiencing a virtually non-lag writting and drawing on an e-ink display is really something.

There is zero observable lag on the iPad Pro. I use it daily. I do wonder about the 9.7" iPad though, as it doesn't have a 120Hz display.

I own the first 12.9 iPad Pro and it has no Apple Pencil lag that I can detect. It also does not have the Pro Motion 120Hz display.

I think Apple did something along the lines of doubling the sampling rate (not sure of the exact number) of the capacitive layer to eliminate pencil lag. Seems to be fine, at least for me. Maybe they did something similar with the new iPad?
