Back in October of 2021, I got the iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (5th generation) (256 GB) and the Apple Pencil (2nd generation). I was able to get a student discount because I have a dual enrollment at a local community college.
My main reason for getting an iPad was to start digital art. I’ve never really done digital art in the past and have recently started using Procreate.
The main complaint I have so far from 4 months of using these products together is that I don’t like how the pencil squeaks against the surface of the iPad. This doesn’t seem to be a problem for my friend, who does digital are frequently, with an older generation iPad and older Apple Pencil. I’m not sure what is causing the squeaking but the “nails on a chalkboard” noises affect the ways or motions I can draw with.
Another aspect I’d like to see improved in future iterations of the Apple Pencil is the weight and strain from use. This isn’t a huge issue as using any stylus can cause hand strain but I hope the next generation Apple Pencil can be lighter to reduce pains from extended periods of use.
Other than these problems, the iPad and pencil have been a great investment and have allowed me to create a lot of digital art. It’s very intuitive to use and the learning curve is definitely not as steep as its competitors (such as drawing tablets). My one suggestion is to extend the student discount to high school students and maybe have larger discounts for people who would love to use the product but may not be comfortable splurging.
If there’s any way to reduce the squeaking noises, I’d really appreciate some advice.
Thank you so much!

The Apple Pencil is so easy to use and set up. I love that it just magnetizes to the iPad to recharge. It’s nice not having extra connections and cords to worry about Apple Pencil makes navigating around the different apps. I use so much easier.

Love the weight and quality feel. Great minimalistic look. Can’t go wrong with it. Worth getting if you do any type of arts and crafts on your tablet that requires it.

.I have been using this with my iPad Apple air 4. I use it both as a stylus, and drawing tool. I have found that it makes operations like text selection, and text editing remarkably easier than before. I also find that the new scribble function has great utility. I have not been using Very much for drawing at this time. The only issue I have, is that the iPad Air surface is very slippery and it takes a while to get used to writing smoothly and accurately with the - pencil which also has very little friction. Wireless charging is also an excellent new feature as well as the ability to magnetically place the pencil on the iPad.

I love the tap to switch from pen to eraser. The Apple Pencil 2 is just as good as the first gen, has a flat side that magnetically attaches to the tablet .. hold is decent, wish it was a bit stronger.

A must have for my 11” iPad Pro. Makes typing a breeze on the pop up keyboard. I use it for precision when using Lightroom CC Mobile. It attaches to the Pro with magnets and charges wirelessly. This is what the original pen should have been. I do not recommend storing/traveling the pen while it is attached to the side. It will pop off. I use a UAG case with a grip that secures the pen well. The pen feels well in the hand. It has a matte finish and is the size of a standard pencil. The pen is flat on one side which helps. I really enjoy using it, but paying for it felt liked getting kicked in the jimmy. If you can find a third party option, you’ll save lots.

Charges very quickly and very smooth and effortless to use. Has good weight and size, material is just a little slippery. Double tap function is very useful.

I bought this pencil to use with my new iPad Pro 12.9' display. I use it to display and annotate on my music. The pencil works so much better than my fat fingers at placing the annotations just where I want them. It charges every time I put it back in the cover because of the magnetic charger on the side of the iPad. I never have to plug it in.

I absolutely love this sucker! I decided to purchase it when I wanted to start taking notes digitally to reduce my desk clutter, and try out digital planners over the paper planners. I love that I can rest my hand on the screen, write like I normally would, and charge it easily when necessary. It fits comfortably in my hand, and overall is extremely easy and natural to use. The double-tap to switch from writing to erasing is my most-used feature. Highly recommend this pencil!

I’ve been using the Apple Pencil extensively for note-taking, and it has completely changed the way I work. The responsiveness is incredible, making it feel just like writing on paper. My niece also loves using it for drawing, and it works seamlessly with the iPad for sketching and coloring. I was so impressed that I even gifted one along with an iPad to my sister, and she loves it just as much. The precision, ease of use, and seamless integration with Apple devices make this a must-have accessory for students, artists, and professionals. Definitely worth it!

Love this Apple Pencil. It works great with my iPad mini and feels great to write with. Not to heavy or light. It snaps to the side of the iPad and has a decent magnetic connection. Not afraid of it falling off while traveling. I’ve had this over a year and use it daily and the tip still works great.
