Customer Ratings & Reviews

Way better than Gen 1! The new apple pencil is outstanding and has lived on the side of my Ipad Pro since I bought it. I picked up a second one to have on my Mini also so I don't have to remember to grab the pencil from one device to move to the other if I am traveling. Love these pencils! So may shortcuts have been added to make this a powerful side kick to any Ipad that supports it.

The Apple Pencil is a remarkable tool that revolutionizes the way we interact with iPads. Its precision and responsiveness make it a must-have accessory for artists, students, and professionals alike. The seamless pairing process and magnetic attachment ensure convenience and ease of use. With pressure sensitivity and tilt recognition, it offers a natural writing and drawing experience, akin to traditional pen and paper. The long battery life and quick charging capabilities further enhance its usability. While the higher price point may deter some, the Apple Pencil's unparalleled performance and seamless integration with iPads make it an indispensable tool for unleashing creativity and productivity.

Disclaimer this is the only apple pencil I have owned and been in contact with... That being said I love it, the weight of it is just enough that it isn't flying away (or feels too flimsy). The feature of the magnetic charging is super easy and quick. THE DOUBLE TAP THOUGH! It makes taking notes a lot easier when you can just do the double tap and continue. It also charges relatively quickly and the battery lasts awhile- yes, we are talking DAYS, which is convenient if I forgot to charge it overnight.

So far, so good! I picked this up to go with my new iPad Air and I'm not disappointed. I love that it attaches magnetically and is always there (the flat sides are nice too). I also like that it charges while attached. No more having to attach a cable or plug it into the iPad like version 1. Just those two reasons are enough to warrant the upgrade (if your iPad is compatible).

No latency, smooth writing. Also it feels really good in your hand as you use it. And the double tap feature that switches between tools is far more useful than I thought it would be! Only downsides are the price, and the fact that it won’t work with any other devices, so my iPhone and my girlfriend’s older iPad are useless with it.

As a college student it makes using my iPad Air fun and easy. Thankfully there are plenty of tutorials online to teach me how! The way it sticks like a magnet to the side of my iPad is awesome because I don’t need to plug it to recharge and I always know where it’s at. I think the price is bananas but I guess that’s what you have to pay if you want the apple brand. Honestly, knock offs just aren’t the same though.

I love the improvements they’ve made to the pencil. It attaches to the device’s side and even charges there. It’s easier than ever to charge this way, too. The pencil has a nice hefty weight to it that I love as its perfect for drawing. Definitely a fan of the double tap to switch between tools in apps. So far I have no complaints.

The Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) is a must-have accessory for iPad users seeking precision and creativity. Its sleek, ergonomic design with a matte finish provides comfort during extended use. The response is instantaneous, and the pressure and tilt sensitivity offer a natural experience, making it ideal for artists, designers, and note-takers. The magnetic connection for wireless charging is convenient, enhancing overall usability. In short, the Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) is a powerful tool for maximizing productivity and creative expression on the iPad.

Great and simple to use. Use it all the time for taking notes and doodling when I’m bored! I’m a musician and I love taking notes in different colors on my scores.

Pen works great amazing to draw with thank you best buy for the best prices

I think the pencil is a great tool to have. I love that it charges with the iPad, it magnetizes right on the side, it has a flat side. I think that flat side is helpful when holding it in your hand. It also has some weight to it so it makes the experience more enjoyable. Love the tapping on the flat side feature to switch the tools. There is no lagging or skipping when writing or highlighting on the ipad.

works great and makes me more productive. easy to use and set up

Has both pressure sensitivity and tilt support, making it really good for drawing or creative work. Double-tap gesture: you can switch tools (like from pen to eraser) by tapping the side. Magnetic pairing and wireless charging: attach it to the side of a compatible iPad and it charges. Low latency and very precise input — great “natural” feel. Supports Apple Pencil hover (on some newer iPads), which helps with previewing strokes.

I love the new design of the Apple Pencil 2 and the fact you no longer need to deal with charging via a Lightning Port. The Apple Pencil 2 charges magnetically along the side of the iPad Pro. It also pairs to the iPad through via the magnet making set up a breeze. Writing and drawing are all wonderful to do. Some downsides include the price/durability. The pencil itself is sturdy, but at some point I dropped the pencil and the tip became damaged/unusable. Apple sells replacement tips (4 for $19.99) and they're easy to replace, but when you're already spending $129 on a device you expect it to hold up a little longer and not have to spend an extra $20.

It is as close as writing on paper as you can get. The second version fixed many of the flaws from the first generation, especially the charging issue and the storage issue. The magnet will come off when in your backpack, but otherwise I never have to worry about charging my pencil anymore. I did damage my tip, but those are easily and cheaply replaced. This is a must have utensil for iPads.

As someone who frequently uses their iPad Pro for both personal and professional purposes, I can confidently say that the Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) is worth the investment. While it may be pricier than some other stylus options on the market, the precision and ease of use are unmatched. The seamless connection and quick charging capability make it a breeze to use, and the ability to switch between tools and adjust line thickness with ease allows for a truly customizable drawing or writing experience. The touch sensitivity is incredibly accurate, and the tilt functionality allows for shading and intricate detail work. Whether you're a professional artist or just someone who enjoys taking handwritten notes, the Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) elevates your digital experience to a whole new level. While it may be a bit of a splurge, the quality and functionality more than justify the cost.

Love this so much more than the 1st generation. Set-up is a breeze; Battery lasts longer; response is near flawless; writing is smooth, but almost too smooth so I added a rubber grip and a matte screen, but that’s just for my personal preference and comfort. I use my pencil for work and personal (approx 8+ hours/day). I love how it attaches to the iPad Pro for wireless charging/connectivity however, I wish the attachment was more secure as I am constantly “losing” my pencil, so I added a separate case to hold the pencil. My complaints are that the double-tap to switch feature seemed that it got in the way more than it satisfied any need while writing notes or drawing; and the 2nd generation pencil does NOT come with any replacement tips whereas the 1st generation does. Depending on your use and frequency, you may want to purchase backups to have on hand. Due to the frequency of use and methods of use, as well as the matte screen, I seem to go through tips quite often. They aren’t expensive and available from places other than Apple so it’s not a deal-breaker but I did appreciate that the 1st generation included them in the set.

Great for writing notes in college. The amount i write and the world we live in, its easy to use an ipad and this pencil to get notes done, without worrying about an outlet. This pencil changes while its connected, so it super convenient.

Apple Pencil generation works great with the iPad mini 6. Cases for the Mimi 6 are available with a pencil holder which automatically charges the pencil. Great for drawing, scribbling,, taping the onscreen keyboard, gaming and so much more. Easy setup.. it automatically connects. Better than using your finger. The only negative is that the price.

Love the pencils makes everything easier and helps with writing
