    Apple brand iPencil 2nd Generation is Exactly what I need to use my favorite art apps such as Pro Create and Adobe apps. Second generation is key. No cheap imitations for me as I am a professional artist.

    Awesome Upgrade, with some trade offs.

    The way the pencil charges magnetically is infinitely better than the previous way. However, the flat edge put on the pencil does make it a little awkward to hold. Although this may feel more comfortable after some time. Everything about the accuracy and feel of the old pencil is here making it an amazing drawing tool. The first time I bought the old Apple Pencil it hurt to spend $100, now they’re charging $130 which is just adding insult to injury. Despite its pitfalls if you’re an artist who uses the IPad every day this is a must have.

    The Apple Pen helps a lot with drawing applications because these are very sharp, and easier to do many details. A gift for my daughter who no longer needs to use her fingers much in any application when using her iPad. Easy to recharge, and I recommend it.

    I purchased the Pencil when I got the iPad Pro and I have no regrets. The Pencil is very quick to respond and is very simple to use. It’s a must have for any iPad Pro. The build quality is great, it charges quickly, the battery life is great, and it docks to the iPad.

    Better than 1st gen

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Apple addressed quite a few of the flaws from the 1st gen with this product. The 2nd gen is so much more like a real pencil. When drawing or writing, It is way more precise and the response rate from pencil to iPad is much faster. I also appreciate the matte finish & flat side which makes it easier to hold and less likely to drop/roll off the table. My favorite part is the wireless charging and that it attaches To the iPad magnetically. I always disliked not being able to track my pencil or the fear of losing the little charging attachment, but those issus are no more. The only con is Apple didnt do anything with the other end of the pencil. I was hoping for an option to flip the pencil to erase like the real thing. The double tap feature for eraser is too sensitive and switches mid-draw without me wanting it to sometimes. It isn’t a deal-breaker though.

    Absolutely a must if you’re getting an iPad. I bought this with my iPad and I truly couldn’t imagine having an iPad without this. It charges SO fast. The best part is that I don’t actually have to charge it, it magnetically connects to my iPad and charges itself. As someone who is incredibly forgetful that has been a game changer. HOWEVER, the biggest drawback for me is that if you misplace it you are out of luck. Good luck finding it because it’s missing the signature “find my” services. When I tell you this thing is easy to misplace, I’m not even joking. But I’ve become more thoughtful when putting the pencil down and I don’t have that problem anymore. I definitely think you can’t have an iPad without a pencil if you’re planning on being productive.

    The second generation Apple pencil is easy to use. Pairs easily and wireless recharging is very nice. My only complaint is the price. I have a pen that literally cost a quarter of the price and does the same thing. To be honest I haven’t used a lot of the special uses part of the pen so it may excel in those areas Call in all it’s easy to pair and easy to use

    I purchased the 2nd generation Apple Pencil to compliment my new iPad Pro. Connecting it to the tablet is as simple as placing it on the magnetic edge, which also keeps your pencil charged. I've used the pencil occasionally and it works great and is perfectly accurate when you touch the screen. I don't do any drawing or writing on my iPad (yet) so I'm struggling to justify the expense, but I'm hoping to get more use out of it in the future because it really is a great accessory and I can tell it could be very useful.

    I am very pleased with the performance of this Apple Pencil. It makes using my iPad so much easier. It is much better than using the rubber stylus type product. The Apple Pencil is very precise and effortless to use. I would recommend this product.

    It feels good to hold and write with. I added a silicone bumper to add more grip cos this can be quite slippery. Did 4 star because although its nice quality, for the price you pay- its kind of not justified. Only reason I bought is to help me take digitized notes. Also, one function is to tap on specific location to switch from pen to eraser, kinda cool but its not as efficient as one would think.

    This Apple pencil is a great addition to the iPad Pro 12.9. Not only is it good for drawing, coloring, and writing notes, it really helps navigate the large screen of the 12.9 iPad pro. Charging is a breeze with the magnetic attachment to the iPad Pro. Charges quickly too.

    Love this product. It's like a real pencil/ marker/ paintbrush. can get small details. It is easy to charge, just put it on on the edge of the iPad. It sticks pretty good. My only complaint is sometimes it "falls'" off the iPad in my bag or around the house and I panic that I've lost it. In fact, I bought this pencil to replace the one I thought I lost. But which I found under the couch a month later. Good news is I gave that one to my son and he's super happy with the detail for his iPad art. To be on the safe side to not lose it again I keep it in my pencil case, then charge it when I need it. It charges super fast and is ready to use in minutes.
