Customers are saying

Customers regard the product highly for its exceptional ease of use, strong overall performance, and efficient charging capabilities. Its excellent compatibility with the iPad, good battery life, and accuracy for tasks like drawing and note-taking are also frequently highlighted. However, the price is a significant concern for many, and some users have reported issues with the tip's durability and connection. While lag is generally not a problem, a few customers find its size to be a drawback.

    The responsiveness of the 2nd Gen Apple pencil is impressive but that just means I can no longer blame my poor artwork on the pencil. The fact that it charges while attached to the iPad Pro is awesome.

    Its a great product. Easy to connect to apple device & very easy to use. Wish it came with a strap so the pencil doesn’t fall/easy to lose or misplace if not careful.

    Even if this is better than the 1st generation it is too expensive. The same price as the previous generation would’ve been fine. But it is too much even though it is a great addition to the iPad

    Best pen I’ve had since my last iPad. Very smooth and transitions well from drawing to writing. I also love the magnetic ability that makes it attach to the tablet automatically.

    The 2nd Generation seems to be a better product than its predecessor. Had difficulty connecting with the Gen 1 and had to trade it out with Apple, it never got better.

    One thing I found out that nobody told me prior...

    Another great accessory from Apple. Gestures are awesome! The pencil isn’t really a necessity though; unless you own the iPad Pro (especially the 12.9) and prefer not to use a Bluetooth keyboard. Then, it’s really something you should have, due to the only painless drawback that I have noticed...the new location/size of the onscreen keyboard now being optimized for the pencil on pro models. This isn’t technically a flaw per se, rather just a quirk of my iPad Pro nearly making the pencil a required accessory. The pro onscreen keyboard will no longer split into two sections for easy thumb typing; rather it shrinks into an easy to use size that’s perfect for the pencil...or you can skip the keys altogether & just literally write it in! So yeah, great if you have one, a bummer I’m sure if you don’t. The only other con is that this only pencil doesn’t include a spare nib (tip) like the 1st gen did and they’re not always readily available or easy to find. However, if you use a “paper” style textured screen protector for drawing; I’ve heard that will wear the nib much faster, so that is something to consider with no spare included.

    The unfortunate only choice for iPad

    Being the only stylus that works with the iPad, it's not bad and the wireless charging is great. I still prefer my Wacom one that came with the tablet instead of being an extra cost (which also does not need to charge). I find the touch "button" activates a little too easily and I often trigger it by accident. My Wacom pen also allowed for me to use the back end which would automatically switch to a different function (usually set as an eraser). I know it's a different company and all, but I'm comparing this new pen with one from a 10+ year old tablet. As always, Apple lags behind in basic functions, trying to be "unique."

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Gen 2 has many neat features. Using it to highlight or draw or write is simple. Tap twice on the end on the pencil and it flips to an eraser. Tap twice again and back to writing mode.

    This gadget is very handy. I use it in the meetings to jot down my notes and performs/feels like a real pencil. I love the fact that it charges from the iPad and that is touch sensitive.
