The guys at iFixit have broken down Apple Pencil into pieces and uncovers what’s included in the $99 priced iPad Pro stylus. They found that it has logic board with 1 gram and on that board we have the ARM processor with Bluetooth Keen radio. There is also tube-molded compatible battery with 0.329 Wh and 3.82 volts. It’s not even 5% of iPhone 6S battery but it’s enough to provide 12 hours of usage on full charge for the Apple Pencil.
