    I upgraded my iPad so of course I had to also upgrade my pencil as well. I’m enjoying this one more. It actually attaches magnetically to the new iPad and charges there as well so it’s always handy. Newer is better

    When I first purchased the iPad Pro 12.9 (2018) I wasn't convinced that I needed the pencil 2. But I decided to purchase it and give it a try. I use the pencil to take notes in class, to make notes while reading, to highlight text. Then I started using the iPad in Calculus. This is where I found the Pencil 2 excels. I can snap a picture of my homework and then work the problem in the OneNote app. The great thing about the pencil 2 and OneNote is the ability to work on a graph paper grid. Using the graph paper grid to graph math problems makes it much better than trying to work on paper. Also being able to switch colors, highlight text, instantly erase (without eraser dust) and work with images makes the pencil 2 a great tool for the iPad Pro.

    Great use when you wanna draw or just do anything with an iPad, I like how it has a long battery life and to charge you just gotta attach it to the iPad.

    Given that i am one to make sure i research every major purchase i almost knew what to expect but then it completely surprised me with the pressure sensitivity its amazing. Definitely a must for every digital artist. You dont even need to sync the pencil to the ipad all you have to do it place it on the side and itll automatically sync and start charging.

    What can I say…. It’s a New Apple Pencil. Their best pencil yet! Not as good as the next one but way better than the last one for sure. I own both and have used them each once. Yes this new one is better I’m quite certain. The fact that you don’t have to plug it into the charge port of the iPad to charge… this alone is nice. But wait… you can set it on top of your device and charge with it with magic. Wow!!! I love magic so I love this pencil.

    This Apple Pencil is great for a lot of reasons. The upgrade let’s you simply attach the pencil to your iPad and it charges while you’re not using it. This feature also helps with those of us who like to misplace things! The double tap to change from pen to eraser is great , but I think it would’ve been better/easier to get used to if they had made it to where you could erase from the bottom of the pencil (as if it were actually one). Great device if you are one to take notes for anything. If you don’t work in an office setting, like to keep your own handwritten records, or are a student. You may not need the pencil. But if you do you definitely want the upgraded generation. It’s worth the extra money (if you have it) ;)

    Using this with the 2019 iPad Pro 12.9 inch, and they work seamlessly. Much better than the Pencil 1.0 due to wireless charging. If you should own an Apple Pencil, this is the one to get for sure.

    IPAD PENCIL

    Apple listened to complaints about its original stylus and delivered a second-generation unit that solves pretty much all of them. The second-generation model has one flat side, and it feels nicely dry and smooth to the touch. The matte plastic design is easier to grip than its glossy predecessor, and it's also a tad shorter. Overall, it feels just like a pencil in the hand. Response time is super-fast, and when drawing on the laminated display of the iPad Air and iPad Pro, it's almost like drawing directly onto paper.
