iOS 16.5 is supposed to fix the Apple Pencil delay in Apple Notes. But it’s worse than ever. Even on a fresh new note. Adding text in between does not make it go away. I also installed a new tip. Same problem. Is anyone else experiencing this. Happens both on iPad Pro 12.9 and new iPad mini.
iPad Pro (4th generation)
Hey Koning,
Let's try the following steps below to help us isolate the issue:
1) Make sure the Apple Pencil is fully charged
2) Restart both iPad devices with an issue: Restart your iPad - Apple Support
3) Remove any cases or other accessories attached to the iPad and try again
4) Test if the issue persist with Only Draw with Apple Pencil enabled
5) Unpair and pair the Apple Pencil and test it again
6) Check to see if this happens only on certain parts of the iPad screen of if it's anywhere on the screen
7) Make sure the Apple Pencil Tip is securely tightened and then try again
8) If you have another Apple Pencil available, try it with another one
9) See if it only happens with one specific Note or all Notes. Also check if it has a delay in other apps.
10) Try with a new tip as they do wear out: Apple Pencil Tips - 4 pack - Apple
Let us know the results after you've tried all these steps above!
Best regards.

Thanks Eric, I have tried all of that already and no improvement. Except for nr8 as I have no other pencil. And it is only a problem in Apple Notes.
iOS 16.5 Update note states: "Fixes an issue with Apple Pencil responsiveness that may occur while drawing or writing in the Notes app". But for me it has not been fixed.
Hey Koning,
At this point, we would recommend reaching out to Apple Support. They will have the necessary tools to investigate into this matter more with you: Apple Support.
Take care.
Apple Pencil delay even after iOS 16.5 update
