ESR, known for its budget-friendly Apple accessories, unveiled the Geo Digital Pencil at CES 2025. This stylus mimics the Apple Pencil USB-C’s design but offers a surprising feature: Apple’s Find My network integration for only $30. This is a significant advantage, considering the Apple Pencil Pro, the only other stylus with Find My support, costs $129.
Features of ESR Geo Digital Pencil stylus.
Apple’s Find My network is a valuable asset within the Apple ecosystem, allowing users to easily locate lost devices. The ESR Geo Digital Pencil offers this functionality at the same price as an AirTag, the most affordable Apple device with Find My. However, the Geo Pencil offers more than just tracking capabilities.
Beyond Find My: Additional Features of the ESR Geo Digital Pencil
The ESR Geo Digital Pencil charges via USB-C and magnetically attaches to the side of compatible iPads, preventing it from rolling off surfaces and eliminating the need for separate storage. A 30-minute charge provides 12 hours of continuous use. The stylus also supports tilt recognition and palm rejection for a natural writing experience.

A customizable shortcut button at the top of the stylus supports single and double-tap gestures, adding further functionality. This button has proven to be a valuable addition in previous ESR stylus models.
Compatibility and Availability
The ESR Geo Digital Pencil is compatible with all iPad models released after 2018, except for the current base model iPad. It’s available in white, pink, and black and can be purchased on Amazon.
ESR HaloLock Classic Hybrid Case for iPhone 16: Enhanced Camera Control
Alongside the Geo Digital Pencil, ESR also introduced the HaloLock Classic Hybrid Case for the iPhone 16 series. This MagSafe-compatible transparent case features a camera bump rail that doubles as a kickstand.

A key feature of the HaloLock case is its protective cover for the iPhone 16’s Camera Control button. This cover, constructed with 9H tempered glass and a PCB core with capacitive stacks, facilitates seamless access to the camera’s slide gestures while protecting the button from dust and other elements. This thoughtful design addresses a common issue with many protective cases that leave the Camera Control button exposed, making it difficult to use, especially with thicker cases.
