No issues with the past Apple Pencil but it doesn’t work with our new iPad Air. Just as easy to use and works great for drawing. Amazing how realistic it is drawing, painting, etc. I do like how it charges on the iPad without a cap and adapter that was problematic trying not to loose the cap or adapter on the original Apple Pencil. This latest version has not loose parts, the pencil just sits on top of the iPad ready for use when needed which ultimately gets used more as a result. Family is happy with this and it gets more use than ever. As with all Apple items they cost you, we got on sale and are happy about that.

Bought this for my wife after I’ve been using my own for the past 5 years. She’s loving it. Awesome product that’s extremely responsive, charges fast and the battery lasts a pretty long time. You can treat it like a traditional pencil in that it’s pretty tough but the tip is really sensitive and can get damaged if it falls directly on the tip. If you love sketching then definitely try the Apple Pencil with Paperlike.

Great stylus, accurately reproduces my pen strokes. The wireless charging is very convenient. One star off for the price though

Easy to use and charges up well. Good for the price.

I purchased the Ipad air for my daughter who is in chiropractic school and this apple pencil and it has been such a hit. The apple pen feels like a regular pencil and I really like how it is only able to connect to your ipad meaning no one elses pen could write on your ipad. It is super light and my daughter likes how you just have to place the pen near the side of the ipad (its magnetic) and that is how it charges which is so much more convenient than having to lug around another charger cord. I highly recommend anyone who purchases an Ipad get an apple pencil as well.

Apple pen works great on my ipad. It was smooth and easy to use.

The Apple Pencil 2nd Generation is a game-changer for anyone using an iPad for creative work, note-taking, or productivity. The sleek design and magnetic attachment for charging and storage are incredibly convenient. Its responsiveness and pressure sensitivity make it feel like a real pen, offering an unparalleled drawing and writing experience. The double-tap feature to switch tools is a thoughtful addition that boosts workflow efficiency. It’s an investment, but for artists, students, or professionals, it’s worth every penny. The only drawback is its compatibility limited to certain iPad models, but if your device supports it, it’s a must-have accessory.

I only recently found out that I can use the iPad Pro as a graphics tablet for the MacBook. However, you can’t use your fingers on the screen when you do this. You absolutely have to use the pencil as a mouse for the iPad in such mode. And it’s soooooooooo amazing. I’ve bought this pencil I think 4 times over the years because I could NOT have an iPad without it. I’ve illustrated in Fresco, Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint for about 2 years now. I’ve most recently started using it as a sculpting tablet in Blender 3D and IVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER. A year and half learning 3D programs and I finally got to use a graphics tablet to sculpt for the first time thanks to the Apple Pencil!! It’s literally like drawing on paper. I’ve noticed you can replace the tips when they wear out. Heads up, I’ve never once had to do that. They last FOREVER

The apple pencil 2 was a huge upgrade from the 1st gen apple pencil. the battery is great, the wireless charging on the side of the ipad does away with the flimsy scary lightning plug, and the pencil is incredibly sensitive. There are things you can do with the pencil that I would never dream you would be able to do on a tablet. The different pressure sensitivities, the ability to use different angles on the tip to get different line styles, and the tap feature allows me to quickly switch between tools to be able to keep working with fewer slow downs. The only gripe would be that they only come in one color, so to be able to tell multiple people's pencils apart you either have to spend money on an aftermarket skin, or deface your property to be able to discern the difference.

You want to write on your iPad so bad, but all you have are plebeian, normal pencils. We’ve all been there. Fret not, because now there is a pencil worthy of your iPad. The Apple Pencil (2nd Generation). Less round than the previous iteration, the Apple Pencil magnets neatly to the side of your iPad. But it’s not just for looks. It charges while it’s there. Next level Apple engineering. Oh, also you can write on your iPad.

Being skeptical by nature but also penny pinching, I purchased an open box option. It was in perfect condition. Worked great. I had purchased it as a replacement for one my dog had destroyed. Unfortunately, she did it again and so I purchased another one, open box, from Best Buy.

Glad I bought the pencil but it is pricey. Easy to use with the iPad Pro. Like how the pencil hooks onto the iPad with a magnet. Like how the pencil charges when hooked onto the iPad.

Recently gifted an ipad pro and knew that with so many features, having the pencil would greatly expand what my ipad could do. Its easy to use, easy to charge and has so many functions i havent even started to look into. I got an open box excellent condition and it looks and works like it is brand new.

Be careful! It can easily be lost, bought for my kid to use on the ipad, works great! charges fast

The apple pencil 2nd gen is compatible and works perfect with this iPad. Seriously, if you are planning to take notes on your iPad, this pencil is a must. A life changer! I would recommend to download the app GoodNotes and also purchase a paper-like screen protecter with extra tips that are pen-like. All of these will enhance your note-taking experience immensely. Not sure how other off-brand Amazon pencils compare to this one. I bought this one to easily charge my pencil by sticking it next to the iPad. No worries when it comes to that. I’m hoping there are no major issues with this pencil since I bought it here on Amazon! Will update if there is any.

Absolutely, the Apple Pencil 2 is like a digital artist's best friend. Its precision and responsiveness are top-notch, making it a must for any iPad user. The magnetic attachment and wireless charging are super convenient. While it's a bit on the pricey side, it's an investment that creative professionals won't regret.

The Good: -Smoother writing -Charging is done on the side of iPad and not through lightning -Shorter and more compact -Double tap setting is very convenient to go from writing to erasing -Battery Charges seems about the same as version 1 The Bad: -No extra tip -Not cheap The Bottom Line: If you have a new iPad, then you should definitely get the Apple Pencil 2 since the writing is smoother and the charging is much easier by snapping it to the side of the iPad. While the Pencil isn’t cheap, it does work very well and I can’t imagine taking notes any other way. Overall I would recommend.

I believe paired with the iPad it makes a remarkable note taking device. Charging is super simple and quick. It has great battery life for the size and functionality is precise as well whether you’re drawing or writing out things.

I’ve found the Apple Pencil useful as an artist, but I have some major caveats about it. First: the battery dies really quickly! Even when I’m not using it, if I forget to unpair it, the charge drains quickly. Plus, the only way of charging it is to put it on the edge of the tablet. This is good because you don’t need an additional charger. It’s not so great because it easy lose. I lost one pencil & had to replace it It’s an expensive tool to get lost easily Third: speaking of getting lost, the pencil doesn’t have a case that would make it easier to keep track of it & nib replacements. For me, I wanted an all in one my styli & tips. So I did get a case for everything. It would’ve been helpful to have a case, esp for people who don’t want or can’t buy another pencil. Fourth , intuitive use w/apps & graphic programs. Occasionally works well, other time there’s a slight lag which is an issue for artists And lastly, this is not the fault of this Apple Pencil. Some graphic programs don’t support Apple Pencil 2 anymore. For example, Adobe Illustrator only supports Apple Pencil Pro. I want to cry. I’ve been at a standstill with my work because of the recent change. Apple makes it so difficult to keep our electronics even if we don’t want to constantly upgrade & spending more money. You would think they could incorporated the Apple Pencil Pro for IPads that aren’t just for the latest OLED screen tablets which will set you back for at least $1500

The Apple Pencil has been a great addition to use with my iPad Air 2020. There’s a lot of uses included just scrolling through web pages or reaching corners of the iPad easier. It is very sensitive to pressure from the slightest tough to pushing harder down on the screen and everything inbetween. It picks up the angle of writing easily and makes drawing, editing, erasing and writing a lot more authentic and more natural as I don’t have to keep changing the paint brush settings to get lighter/darker strokes or change the width to get wider or thinner lines as the pencil does it all automatically and without hesitation. It has a very good hand feel and after spending prolonged periods of writing it’s still comfortable to hold and the Matt finish helps it not slide in my hand. Attaching magnetically to the side of my tablet and also charging from it is incredibly useful as it’s always there and charged when I want to use it and the magnets are strong and keep it firmly in position. The battery life is also very impressive as I’ve never managed to get it to go anywhere below 80% charged. The double tap works very well and is very useful for writing notes or drawing and saves a lot of messing around with selecting the marker or eraser. Cons: It can be knocked off from the side of the iPad or get in the way if you are holding the tablet two handed and portrait however I bought after buying a self adhesive Apple Pencil sleeve for £8 I don’t have that problem anymore but always have the pencil there without occasionally being in the way. The double tap feature works better on the flat side (that’s what you're meant to do) but on the rounded edges or further up it doesn’t always pick the double tap up but if you hold the pencil as it should the double tap is responsive and sensitive. The scribble feature could do with some work in regards picking up some letters or numbers although I have the hand writing of a child at best which I’m sure doesn’t help.
