    Buy! Especially if your a student

    I’m not even gonna lie, after buying the Apple Pencil, I didn’t expect to like it as much as I do. At first I was kinda like “do I really need this?” but once I actually started using it, it made a huge difference. Writing notes feels so much easier and more natural, like I’d actually choose writing over typing now. And if you draw even a little bit, it’s actually crazy how smooth it is. The way it responds to pressure and how precise it is just makes everything look cleaner without even trying that hard. What surprised me the most is how much I use it for random things too, not just drawing or notes. Like scrolling, editing stuff, even just tapping around it lowkey became something I always have in my hand when I’m on my iPad. Only thing I don’t like is the charging and connecting .I like it but with my specific iPad and this specific pencil I have to use the adapter which they give you but it’s annoying wish I just bought the other one . Overall, I feel like it was actually worth the money. It made my iPad feel way more useful instead of just something I watch stuff on. I’d definitely buy it again.

    Awesome precision!

    This was a well worth upgrade. It’s super easy to set up, pair, and start drawing right from the box. It’s great for drawing especially with its pressure and tilt sensitivity. It feels much more natural to use than any other iPad pencil I’ve tried. The battery life lasts longer than any drawing session I’ve done. The battery does unfortunately take a while to fully charge. Overall great product for artists.

    Smooth and Accurate

    I bought the Apple Pencil and love how smooth and accurate it feels. Writing notes and sketching feels natural, with no lag at all. The battery lasts days, pairing was instant, and it works perfectly with my iPad—definitely worth the money for everyday use and creative projects at home.

    Surprisingly Durable

    I really like this product! The Apple Pencil (first generation) has a surprisingly impressive battery life, (I only charge it every week or so) and has really nice pressure sensitivity for drawing. I also love using the write to type feature where I can write into the search bar instead of using my keyboard. Also have accidentally thrown the poor thing on the ground a few times and so far it’s been perfectly fine after each 5 foot drop to my hardwood floor. Which was also very impressive to me, specifically because the last product I used with pen pressure completely broke after I’d dropped it! So this one is a significant improvement to that.

    Highly recommended!

    This is seriously awesome! It pairs perfectly with the iPad for drawing or note-taking. It's super comfortable to use, and the touch accuracy is spot on! The design is sleek, it feels great in your hand, and you can use it for a long time without feeling tired. Charging is a breeze – just plug it into the iPad, and you're good to go. The pressure sensitivity is impressive, allowing for delicate details in your drawings. Even though it's the first generation, it's still highly versatile, working seamlessly with various apps.
