Customer Ratings & Reviews

Loved this product! Highly recommend it. Loved it with my ipad

I purchased the Apple Pencil for my iPad Pro knowing that, for $130, it better be useful or it was going back. I take calls from customers all day long, and was constantly jotting notes in my paper notebook. The notes would get lost and easily disorganized. With the Apple Pencil, I can hand-write notes directly onto my iPad and then organize them into files to easily refer to later. For my situation it was an outstanding solution, but if you don’t already do a lot of writing it might not be as worth while to you.

I got this or replace of another one I had bought and it had exceeded my expectations. It is so smooth and can be used with so many if not all of the apps. I use it every time I use my iPad and the convenience of charging it on the side of your iPad rather then having to plug it in makes it convenient and hard to lose.

I was sort of skeptical about buying the apple pencil as I was told that it is not kind to left-handed people. Those people were wrong. This is an amazing pencil. The quality and double-tap features make it convenient and speed up writing/drawing. It's comfortable to hold on to and I have never had to worry about charging it as it magnetically connects to the Ipad. I don't think it is worth the 130. If it is ever on sale, definitely buy it.

The good: I love that it charges by magnetically sticking to the side of the iPad. It also works great, and is comfortable in the hand. The not-so-good: When using the iPad, the pencil is in the way when you’re holding it. I often find myself disconnecting it and setting it down somewhere, which makes it possible I could lose the pencil. Also, it doesn’t work for certain gestures on the screen like swiping up from the bottom to reach the Home Screen. You have to use your finger for that. Both aren’t terrible, but the Home Screen gesture would sure be nice if I’m using the Pencil instead of my fingers to navigate on the iPad. I don’t do any artwork with it, so it’s more of a luxury accessory than anything else, but it comes in handy from time to time, especially when you want to markup something on the screen.

I found this pencil a Great pencil! You can write as fluidly as possible! You can charge as easily as possible at the side of the ipad itself. It sticks there with magnet! The tip is so nice that you feel like you writing with an actual pencil on a paper!

I bought this pencil as an upgrade to my previous pencil when I got my new iPad. I like this one much more. The magnetic attachment to the iPad is great and solves the problem of the previous pencil of where do I store my pencil when no using it. The fact that it also charges the pencil while attached is icing on the cake. Now I don’t need to plug in the pencil into the iPad to charge. It is always charged as it stays attached to my iPad. It also seems to activate quicker and smoother than the old one.

First of all, why am I buying this pencil from best buy? Here comes a little tip: make sure that you pay attention to you apple pencil once in a while because I lost my original Pencil II several days after purchase. The pencil, overall, is a great improvement from the first generation and it is far better from the first generation imo from all kinds of perspectives. Charging it up is really easy, and it looks far better than first generation. However, considering the cost of the pencil and the ipad pro combined, it's fairly expensive to buy a new combo like this..

Light and a comfortable fit. Feels very similar to a real pencil and glides nicely across the iPad screen.

I wanted to buy the pencil because the other cheaper ones that are not apple, did not seem to work well. This one works for me. I can take notes for work and other uses. I like that it stays with my IPad and maintains the charge. No batteries needed.

Works exactly like a brand new apple pen, no complaints here!

The apple pen has made using my tablet a lot easier. I do have my own company and I use my tablet quit a lot and it was so annoying how my finger would catch something else but with this light weight pen I get through my work faster

I love my pencil. It’s so easy to use and hooks up to device automatically. I use it to write notes and draw.

Very good weight. One of the reasons I decided to get the new iPad Air 4 is that I could use this. I primarily do some light photo editing mostly Lightroom. This works great except for finer details. One thing I wish it had was a rear rubber nub as the front point is a little too fine to scroll up and down regular pages. Battery life has been phenomenal. I don’t know if it’s a function of it always resting on the iPad itself charging but I did get a separate sleeve case for it that it stayed in for a couple weeks and had no prob. So far my biggest issue is finding a case that facilitates good storage and charging of the iPad and pencil (as well as smart wake/off) that will also rotate from horizontal to vertical. The ones that I’ve seen I have an elastic type holder for the pencil which is not to secure. Other non rotating ones have extended molded side which are great.

This is my first 2nd generation. Much better, Apple! Charging by sticking it on the iPad? Genius! It’s so smooth and glides along the surface like a paintbrush. The tip is fine enough to write like I like to. Drawing is amazing. No need to keep up with ends or tips or chargers. It just magnetically sticks to the iPad and charges that way. I don’t do anything without it.

Had it for 5 years now, use it everyday for note taking, sketching, etc.

Love this pencil and the fact that it charges wirelessly. I don’t have to plug it in and there’s no batteries that might go dead. Partially dictated the iPad model that I ended up purchasing

Dropped it but still working. Very expensive but good for art. Battery is good and charge very fast. Nice white color.

I bought the IPad Pro just so I can edit photos in the newly released (but crappy) Photoshop for iPad. You can get by with your finger but with the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) makes any sort of creative work so much easier. I found myself on the first day of owning Apple Pencil sketching and drawing on my iPad and I really don’t do that sort of thing. It was just fun to do, like I was a kid again. Get Apple Pencil if you’re an Artist, creative or Photographer. Or if you just have some extra money to burn, It’s Fun.

You’re missing out on a lot of functionality if you have an iPad but no stylus. If your iPad is compatible with it, the Apple Pencil 2 is worth the premium over the 3rd party alternatives. The way the Apple Pencil 2 snaps to side of the iPad and charges magnetically is awesome, as is the fact that I have never had to re-pair it my iPad.
