Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

The Apple Pencil (2nd generation) is a fantastic tool that brings a new level of precision and ease to digital drawing and note-taking. The sleek design and magnetic charging feature are standout improvements over its predecessor. The pencil pairs seamlessly with the iPad, making it incredibly convenient to use right out of the box. The responsiveness and accuracy are top-notch, whether you’re sketching, shading, or simply jotting down notes. The ability to double-tap to switch tools is a game-changer, adding a level of efficiency that’s hard to overlook.

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.

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.

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.

I purchased a 2nd Gen Apple Pen and after having it for a couple of months I can say I really do like it. The pen is always charged since it’s connected to my IPad when not in use. The quality is great. It’s comfortable to use. I use it for work everyday and it has not given me any issues.

Love it works well with my iPad! Stayed charged for along time! Set well to my iPad!

As someone who spends a lot of time sketching, writing notes, and planning digitally, the Apple Pencil has completely changed the way I use my iPad. What impresses me most is how natural it feels—like holding a real pen, but with so much more power behind it. The pressure sensitivity and tilt recognition make shading and drawing feel fluid, while handwriting in apps like Notes or GoodNotes looks cleaner than anything I’ve tried with other styluses. Beyond creativity, it’s also practical. I can mark up PDFs for work, sign documents in seconds, and even navigate my iPad without leaving smudges all over the screen. The magnetic attachment and wireless charging are small details that make a big difference—I never lose it in my bag, and it’s always ready to go. It’s not just an accessory; it’s become an essential tool in my daily routine. If you’re on the fence, trust me: once you try it, you won’t want to go back.

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.

This is an essential part of your iPad and when you lose one, you have to go get another. I dropped mine walking around and was so mad. I did not figure this out till I was home and of course it was long gone. I ended up saving a few bucks by buying an open box one since hey, at least that one wasn't dropped a million times like my OG one that still worked fine when finally lost it for good. So save a few if you can and ask for an open box one if your store has one. Otherwise, grab a new one and make sure you check on the apple website BEFORE buying to see which pencil works with you particular iPad so you do to have to do the walk of shame back into the store like I did. Let's just say it has been a bad month and I need to pay better attention!

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.

Really good pencil for drawing and taking notes some cool features also and magnetic charging is a game changer

Apple nailed it with this second generation Apple Pencil. The responsiveness is flawless. The way it attaches magnetically to my latest generation iPad Air is slick and makes it very easy to charge without it hanging out of the Lightning port like the previous generation. It works great for taking notes or drawing as the iPad detects when you hold the Pencil at an angle for thicker strokes. It feels great in the hand and lays on a flat surface when you need to set it down. Well done

This pen is impressive. It’s very responsive to the pressure, angle, and speed at which I move. It’s also precise and stays on track. Plus it never loses its connection the the iPad and of course, the magnetic inductive charging feature is a giant leap from its predecessor. I love it. Only drawback, it’s overpriced!

The quality is so awesome. And the battery life is great is very easy to use and will charge pretty quick

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 love them so accurate when it comes to drawing on the ipad
