I have both. The main sell for Rm2 is the battery life (charge once every couple/few months in my case) and writing feel. Which yes the iPad could get a cover on it like paperlike, something like that. I'm not saying you can really compare the two, one is a "dumb" device and the other one is a full-blown computer (iPad). I also think the Rm2 drawing accuracy is better than the fatter tip on the Apple Pencil. My use case with the Rm2 is pretty much as a scratch/drawing pad. I don't have it connected to WiFi and just have it stashed on the side, I use it once a day or two days usually to sketch something out before making it (context of software or 3d printing).
