    It’s a good pencil but my iPad sometimes doesn’t detect its touch right away. It’s a bit complicated to get it charged but overall it works pretty well for me.

    I bought this Apple Pencil for my child’s birthday and she was disappointed, the pencil will not scribble or scroll the screen. I’ve been on the phone with support team tried everything they suggested and nothing works took it the store and I was not able to get an exchange or refund. Regardless of the item being opened box, the description states it was in excellent condition and the top of the pencil was also missing.

    I love the first gen Apple Pencil

    The first gen Apple Pencil is a precise drawing and writing tool for the iPad. The best thing about it is the pressure sensitivity; you can press harder to make thicker lines or lighter for thinner ones, just like a real pencil. It also senses when you tilt it for shading. The design is simple and white, but it rolls easily off tables. To charge it, you have to plug its end into the iPad, which looks a bit strange and makes the small cap easy to lose. Even with its charging issues, the pencil works great and feels natural to use.

    Apple Pencil (1st Generation) with USB-C to Pencil

    Overall Impression The Apple Pencil (1st Generation) with the new USB-C adapter has been a valuable addition to my iPad setup. As someone who creates a lot of educational content, this tool has significantly improved my digital workflow. Pros Precision and responsiveness: The Apple Pencil offers exceptional accuracy and pressure sensitivity, making handwritten notes and detailed drawings feel natural and precise. Upgraded connectivity: The included USB-C adapter modernizes the 1st Generation Pencil, making it compatible with newer iPad models that have USB-C ports. Palm rejection: Works flawlessly with compatible iPads, allowing me to rest my hand on the screen while writing or drawing. Battery life: Lasts through several days of regular use on a single charge. Comfortable design: The pencil has good weight and balance, making it comfortable to use for extended periods. Tilt sensitivity: Allows for natural shading techniques when creating diagrams or illustrations for teaching materials. Cons No magnetic attachment: Unlike the 2nd Generation Pencil, this model doesn't magnetically attach to the iPad. Lacks shortcut button: No double-tap feature to quickly switch between tools. Charging position: Still somewhat awkward when charging directly through the iPad's port. Price point: At $99, it remains a significant investment for a digital stylus. Rounded design: Can occasionally roll off flat surfaces. Value for Money While not inexpensive, the Apple Pencil represents good value for anyone who regularly annotates documents, creates digital art, or takes handwritten notes. The USB-C adapter extends the life and compatibility of this first-generation tool, making it a smarter purchase than it was previously. Use in Education As a teacher, I've found the Apple Pencil invaluable for creating clear, handwritten feedback on student work, developing custom worksheets, and demonstrating concepts during virtual instruction. The precision makes mathematical notation and diagram creation much easier than using a finger or third-party stylus. Final Verdict The Apple Pencil (1st Generation) with USB-C adapter bridges the gap between older technology and newer iPad models. While not as feature-rich as the 2nd Generation Pencil, it delivers the essential functionality that made the original so popular, now with improved connectivity options. For educators, digital artists, or anyone who prefers handwritten digital input, this remains an excellent tool that enhances the iPad experience significantly.

    The Apple Pencil has completely transformed my iPad experience! The precision is outstanding, with instant response and zero lag, making it perfect for note-taking, drawing, and photo editing. It feels incredibly natural to write on the screen, almost like using real paper. Plus, the integration with apps like Procreate and Notability is seamless. The battery lasts a long time and charges super fast, which is a big plus. If you use your iPad for productivity or creativity, this stylus is an absolute must-have!
