    Usefulness comes at a price.

    I'm an average person who uses my iPad for a variety of tasks (mostly work), including note-taking, drawing, and editing documents. I'm not a professional artist or designer, but I do enjoy being creative once in a while. I've been using the Apple Pencil 2 for a few days now and I've really been impressed. It's a great stylus for both everyday use and creative projects.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESIGN It has a sleek and minimalist design. It's slightly longer and thinner than the first-generation and it has a flat edge on one side. This flat edge makes it easy to magnetically attach the Apple Pencil 2 to the side of my iPad Pro. It's also made of a matte material, which gives it a nice grip and prevents it from slipping out of your hand.----------------------------------–------------------------------–------------------------------–--------------- FEATURES It is PRESSURE SENSITIVE, which means that the thickness of your lines will vary depending on how hard you press on the screen. I found this is great for drawing and sketching. It is also TILT SENSITIVE, which means that the angle at which you hold the stylus will affect the appearance of your strokes. This is also great for drawing and sketching, as it allows you to create different effects, such as shading and highlights. It also has a DOUBLE-TAP gesture that can be customized to perform different actions. For example, you can set it to switch between the current tool and the eraser, or to undo the last action. The pencil CHARGES WIRELESSLY by attaching to the side of an iPad Pro. This is a very convenient way to charge the stylus, and it eliminates the need for cables.---------------–----------------------------------–------------------- PERFORMANCE The pencil is very accurate and responsive. It almost feels like you're writing or drawing with a real pen or pencil. The pressure sensitivity and tilt sensitivity are very good, which makes it easy to create different effects. The double-tap gesture is very useful for quickly switching between tools.-----------–------------------------------–------------------------------–----------- PRICE AND AVAILABILITY In my opinion it is a bit pricey, but it's worth the investment if you use your iPad for creative projects. It's the best stylus I've ever used, and it makes it possible to do things that would be difficult or impossible to do with your finger. If you're on a budget, there are other styluses available for less money. However, I don't think any of them compare to this one in terms of performance and features.-----------------------–------------------------------–------------------------------–------- CONCLUSION Overall, it's the best stylus I've ever used. It's accurate, responsive, and has a lot of useful features. Of course, it's a bit pricey. However, I think it's worth the investment if you use your iPad regularly. It's a well-designed product that makes your iPad even more useful.

    Great artistic tool for iPad Pro

    I gave this item to my wife as a Christmas gift. Her review is as follows: I received the Apple Pencil along with an iPad Pro for Christmas. I love how easy it is to use. It magnets on to my iPad Pro to charge and store when not in use. Not only is it useful for tapping on the screen I have also downloaded a few free drawing Apps to practice using my new Apple Pencil. I can easily draw or sketch pictures. It is as easy to use as a regular art pencil. I am still exploring all the possibilities. The Apple Pencil has held the charge for as long as I have been using it so far. Photos show a few simple sketches I drew. You can paint, add text or other features with the Apple Pencil depending on the Apps you choose. I also found some art courses for drawing and painting.
