Apple - Pencil (2nd Generation)

This is just the best pencil option there is for illustrators using iPads, and probably, the first time I’ve felt an Apple product is worth the money. Having tested other pencils in the past such as the Wacom branded pen, I personally felt more comfortable using this one for long periods of time. Its design is elegant, minimalistic feels premium and it’s ergonomic compared to the first gen pencil which felt uncomfortable using it for long periods of time, and let’s not even talk about the old charging method. This 2nd gen pencil is very straight forward right out of the box, just stick it to the side of your tablet and it’s ready to use (must mention the magnet is strong so it won’t fall from your iPad). It also charges very fast (gets to 100% in around 5 minutes) and battery lasts more than enough for a regular drawing session. Nibs last for a good amount of time as well with the proper care and also if you don’t press too hard on the screen of course. I must note though, using any screen protectors like Paperlike will make your nibs wear off faster due to the texture of them being a bit rougher than a clear protector. Also, it’d be cool if one were able to add the pencil to Find My as I can add my watch and other devices. Being someone who draws outside of the house very often, it’d be nice to use that feature in case I lost it.

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.

This pencil was made for the serious iPad user. There are many pencils out there that can be used with iPads. However the only feature the non Apple pencils can boast of is lower prices. None of these second market less expensive pencils come close to matching the performance, functionality, and convenience of the real Apple Pencil. I know, I’ve tried several of them. Don’t be fooled with the promise of these less expensive pencils and get the real thing. The real value in the Apple Pencil is in all it does for the users without compromise.

If you have the newest version of the iPad where Apple Pencil 2 works, you have to get it! It works like a dream and changes the experience of using the iPad entirely. I find myself using this on my new iPad with the M2 chip more than I do on my laptop at times. It's that good! Don't get this if you have an older iPad since you can't take full advantage of its key features. It goes on sale from time to time on BestBuy's site or just pull the trigger on purchasing it. You won't regret it!

This pencil is amazing! I am currently in school and have switched to digital note taking on my ipad. I even use it to draw in my free time. Just make sure to purchase paper like, it is a screen protector for the ipad and it makes the screen feel like you are actually writing on paper. I even purchased a case for it that makes it look like a real pencil! Please go with the apple pencil, I tried a knock-off and it literally lasted 1 day.

The Apple Pencil is a great accessory for the iPad. It offers a high level of precision and responsiveness, making it perfect for tasks such as drawing, note-taking, and annotation. The build quality is excellent and it feels comfortable to hold for extended periods of time. The battery life is also impressive, lasting for hours on a single charge. Overall, the Apple Pencil is a valuable addition to the iPad, making it even more versatile and useful.

I bought a knock off brand because I wanted to save myself some money but I regret not buying the Apple Pencil sooner. Makes a world of difference with procreate, notes and for clients signing contracts, even when I’m playing games I’ll use it. I bought if for my IPad mini and I love how it sticks to the side to charge too so I don’t have to remember to charge it and won’t lose it either. 1000000% recommend seriously

It’s been a short time but I’m amazed of how many things one can accomplish with this little devil. I’m old school and this is just like having pen… a magic pen because could transform in a pencil, a brush and so many other things that I haven’t explored yet. I great companion for my iPad mini. Love it! That’s just one thing I wish it has: a little cap to protect the sensitive point. Today my cat toss it from my desk and even though I see no damage, I got worry and right now I’m trying pen caps… one has to fit
