    This pen barely lasted a year... Once again Apple overcharges for low quality products. You'd think given the price tag that it would withstand like 5 drops from my desk on occasion before the signal inside the pen becomes defective. I heard that a recent iOS iPad update could have caused users' Apple pen from being unresponsive, but out of frustration to resolving this issue on my own I accidentally snapped the sensor bar inside the pen. So thankfully I found a BETTER ALTERNATIVE on Amazon for a fraction of the price. Plus the tip gives poor handwriting that you'll look elsewhere for tip replacements too — might as well save the extra money with an Amazon dupe + a different tip style. I will never buy an Apple pen again.

    i was convinced i needed this pencil after speaking to the salesman and he even said don't waist your money, I still did he was right, i never used it plus it only being able to be used in certain apps really sucks! hopefully they include these with the iPad pro eventually cuz they are not worth 129 unless you are into drawing!

    Pen was purchased instead of the screen protector but it was not as useful as I thought. I am not finding much use for it now.

    Clever product. Takes training oneself to become proficient. It is easy to knock off and lose.

    Snaps on to the side of my iPad Mini 6 very securely! Not enough resistance when writing so I added matte screen protector.

    Worth having for the iPad. Better than the 1st generation for certain. Bought it on sale, which made it a better value.
