It is compatible with the Apple Pencil on iPad and works with FaceTime. Freeform is intuitive yet powerful, and I believe it can be a game-changer for many users, whether used for business or brainstorming with friends and family.

For more cautious upgraders, I will deliver my final verdict in a week, so bookmark this page.
