Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very easy to use. The magnetic install is quick and easy. Keyboard communicates flawlessly and the charge holds very long. Love the angle which is easy on the eyes.

this pencil is definitely a upgrade of the first gen, it charges on the side of the iPad wirelessly. on the last gen apple pencil you had to plug it in on the iPad charging port which was a dumb design. thanks God they fix it on this new gen and i can confirm that the response time has improve drastically. the only thing i kind of hate is that they price it a little higher than before, like the old apple pencil wasn’t expensive enough lol

Works great with my iPad Pro. And it’s great to use for school. Works amazing and easy to charge.

This works exactly as advertised. I am a professional artist, and I happen to have both a Lenovo Yoga All-in-One and the iPad Pro, so I thought I'd do some compare and contrasts with their individual pens. The Apple pencil acts almost identically to the flow of an actual pen/brush—comparable to my experience to a Wacom Intuos Pro tablet. The Lenovo pen is a little less sensitive and takes some practice to get used to how it flows. The Apple pencil was very easy to set up; whereas I am still having trouble getting the Lenovo pen settings to work on my computer (part of what was advertised with the All-in-one). There is still some issues with errant dots appearing when I draw on the iPad Pro, however, I think that is more of a universal problem with touch screens in general rather than with the Apple Pencil itself, and I was able to mitigate it with a tablet glove. The downside of both the iPad Pro and Apple pencil is more part of my own broad issues with Apple products in general: they are wildly overpriced (which is the major reason why I went to Lenovo when I was searching for a dedicated desktop computer). I'm hoping that with companies like Microsoft and Lenovo catching up to the level of drawing technology Apple is at, that may change. Overall, I'm very happy with the performance of the Apple pencil and I would recommend it as a valuable tool for artists.

This new version of the Apple Pencil is a great update from the older version. The magnetic side that keeps the pencil attached to the iPad has kept me using it much more due to the fact that it's always right there. The functionality is great and the automatic charging when attached to the iPad is light years ahead of the older process. As with all things Apple, it's definitely on the expensive side.

I bought this after test-driving my friend's iPad and Apple Pencil. I was impressed with the precision and accuracy of the pencil. It almost writes as well as a real pencil, minus the tacticle feel against paper. What's better is I get to save what I wrote for prosperity. For example, I journal quite a bit with paper and pen. Now, it's with iPad and Apple Pencil. I can also save what I wrote and search for it later, as the app I use can search actual, bonafide handwriting. Only complaint, and it's more of an iOS thing than it is the pencil, is that about 25% of the time, iOS guesses incorrectly a twhat I wrote. This leads to much frustration. I do traditional handwriing/Cooper calligraphy style-writing. Oftentimes, iOS thinks I wrote one thing when I really wrote something else. As a result, I have to print rather than use cursive so that iOS can understand me. The Pencil attaches to the iPad via a magnet and charges through induction. The first generation Pencil was hokey, in that you had to plug in a physical cable to charge it.

Good, compatible with 5th gen air pad, charges magnetically, and makes taking notes easier

The Apple Pencil 2nd Generation is super precise, charges magnetically, and feels natural to write with. I use it daily for notes, art, and editing. Best Buy made the purchase easy and fast!

I love my Apple Pencil, makes taking notes so much more convenient and works better than a stylus ever could for an iPad. Comfortable to use and bonus points it doesn’t require a charger just charges right on top of the iPad.

I have a first gen pencil for my older 12.9” iPad Pro and have learned to like it very well. I bought this one for my 2020 iPad Pro. If you have the newer iPads, this new pencil is a big improvement. The feature to switch to eraser is really handy. I like the length of the device more than the Gen 1 as well. I would say that if you have an iPad and the Sept 2020 IPadOS you need this pencil.

If you are a drawer or simply like to use a pen to write instead of typing this is going to work amazing for you at least is very lightweight and easy to place with a magnet at all times with you Pro.

This Pencil is amazing, I use it a lot and is a really good product also the magnet charging is the best you don’t have to worry anymore to charge the pencil, it is always ready

This Apple Pencil is very easy to use and charges super fast. It’s battery also lasts a long time.

It’s a pencil. Works very intuitively. No buttons but is pressure sensitive and you can tap it in some apps which works like a button press. Very well made and I’ve not experienced a session where it ran out of power. Hard to remember to snap it to edge of iPad anytime you would normally set it down. Maybe they should add a locate feature? Charges fast.

Great tool for artists and creative people. Magnetic charging is super simple, battery lasts a really long time, smooth gliding over the glass on the iPads. The new pencil only comes with 1 tip. Additional replacement tips can be purchased from Apple. Although it'll probably be a while before you'll need to replace it. Highly recommended for all creative types using the new iPads that support the 2nd generation Apple Pencil.

Must have if you own a iPad , my daughter loves it. Helps her with drawing, learning to write letters & numbers. Helps wit wit filling out things a taking notes in general …

The apple pencil and ipad combo is a masterful work of sheer genius and engineering. This epic little guy is really able to take on the abilities of the real tools it emulates. The real shocker was just how much it's able to immitate a real pencil's capabilities. The simplistic minimal design is also a comforting and subtle reminder of how less is more.

I wanted to switch from taking notes in spiral notebooks, to my iPad for college. It does exactly what it's advertised to do, really good battery life, I don't even know how I would be able to use all of it in 1 go. If you are interested in using an iPad to take notes or draw, this is great, just a little pricey for a stylus with the Apple logo on it.

This is so much better than the first gen Pencil. If you have a compatible device and you aren’t using it you’re really doing yourself a disservice (providing that you have need of such a thing in the first place). Being able to charge it by magnetically attaching it to the side was upgrade enough. No more pencil jutting out the bottom of your iPad!

Very sleek and lightweight. Works well with apple products and if you’re looking to become an artist, this is the product for you
