iPad pro with pencil is the deadliest creativity combination one can have. Great for drawing, editing, taking notes.
Easy to charge and use. Feels awesome.

The Apple Pencil 2 is like a breath of fresh air in relationship to the first gen.
I love that it charges wireless on my iPad Air 5. Losing the clunky lid and awkward stab-it-in-the-lightening-charger-slot design of the first gen was a good move.
It is easy to pair, works quick, charges fast, and stays put with my device fairly well.

This pencil is great and easy to use and I highly recommend it if you’re a iPad users. The only reason why I give it 4 stars is because of the price. They changed the design of the pencil (which I love) but made the old one unusable on new ipads. Which makes upgrading to the new iPad a lot more expensive all together.

I had the first generation and wasn't sure that I would like the second generation one after seeing a friend have difficulty getting hers to stay connected. However, I got this to use with the newest iPad Pro and love it. Easy connect, effortless. Stays charged for a long time. And now because it can always be charged, I don't have to choose between charging the first generation apple pencil or my old iPad Pro. Both the newest iPad pro and this Apple Pencil hold their charges for so long. I only charge every few days, and I use it for work!

This is my first Apple Pencil and I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect but I’m very happy with it. Unlike the previous version, this pencil magnetically attaches to the top of the iPad horizontally for charging. No more plugging it into the charging port. It’s very easy to use and responds as quickly as if using an actual writing tool. As a first time user I was disappointed that there was nothing in the box explains how to use it but YouTube took care of that for me. There are many good videos out there that show the features and how to activate them.

I bought this wonderful writing instrument as a Christmas gift for my sister'n law, and she loves it!
It is always a gratifying experience to buy practical gifts for family members. My sister 'n law, who is hearing impaired, recently received an Apple Pro iPad. This pen pairs nicely with this iPad, and magnetically attaches to the top of iPad for ease of finding it when needed.
The Apple Pencil is a blessing for the communication differences of hearing impaired individuals. I highly recommend it as an accommodation for deaf people.
Very easy to pair up and use without much thought.

Great little tool that really helps with drawing and filling out forms on your iPad. We have two iPads in our home and I use this Pencil whenever I need to sign any e-forms for work, and the other iPad is used primarily as a drawing pad. It’s super easy to switch between the two iPads, just dock it for a second so it can pair up, and start using it. For drawing it’s fantastic, it’s almost like using a regular pencil, especially when paired up with one of those paper-like screen protectors. Overall we’ve been really happy with this.

Paired with the iPad Pro, and the right educational app (I use Notability and ExplainEverything), this pen is AWESOME in the classroom. I love the magnetic attachment and easy charging (no plug in) abilities! it pairs seamlessly and most importantly, it works without any issues whatsoever. When I write on the app, it shows up instantly and my students are given a better experience. I have used tech that has a delay so that when I write, it takes a moment to appear on the screen. Not with this pen!

This pencil is rather pricey but its functionality definitely is worth the cost. I love drawing with this and using it to take notes as I am a tactile person.

If you have a 2018 iPad Pro and you take a lot of notes, doodle or operate apps that require precise touch responses? You’ll definitely want to purchase the new Apple Pencil. Unlike the 1st gen Apple Pencil, the 2nd Gen attaches to the side of the iPad to pair for the first time and and charge. Yes inductive charging, no more plugging the pencil into the charge port to charge. The magnets are pretty strong too. I think the pencil is $29 over priced. I bought it anyways because I had the 1st gen pencil with my 9.7” iPad Pro. But I definitely recommend it especially if you can get it at an discount.

I tried a number of different tablets and pen combinations and by far the Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) and iPad Pro were the best. The pen sticks to the side of the iPad via a magnet and charges when not in use. At first, I was worried that I would quickly lose the pencil, but it really does stay attached. (Still possible to lose, but haven’t yet...)
Double tap on the pencil also switches between pen tips to make it really easy to do rapid editing.
The only thing I haven’t found is a reliable handwriting to text converter, however this is a software issue and not the pencil.

At first, I was very dubious about the pen. I especially was scared I would lose it sooner or later. But I have not had that issue due to the great magnetic snap to my iPad Pro. It has become indispensable for my writing and really anything I do on the tablet. The great thing about this and some of the newer Apple accessories is how it just easily switches from one device to another without having to open up settings and re-pair it.

The Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) delivers flawless precision and ultra-low latency, making writing and drawing feel incredibly natural. The magnetic attachment ensures easy charging and pairing. Perfect for notes, sketches, or documents, it’s a must-have for iPad users. Seamless performance and premium build quality justify the price. Highly recommended for creatives and professionals!

The Apple Pencil 2 has revolutionized my creative process. Its seamless connectivity, precision, and versatile double-tap feature make it a game-changer. The long battery life and eco-friendly design are added bonuses. Whether for art, note-taking, or editing, it's an indispensable tool I can't imagine working without
