Customer Ratings & Reviews

This pencil is great, I like the updated charging. It’s a bit smaller and lighter than the first generation. I’m not sure if it’s meant to be held in a certain way with the new design but I can’t ever seem to hold it where I can easily tap the flat side. This is personal preference but I feel like it’s a bit light, with the first gen I felt like I was actually holding something it felt sturdy and a bit longer but with this new pencil I feel like it can easily slip out of my hand and it sometimes feels like im not holding it. Over all it’s a a good purchase and essential if you draw or write on an iPad

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.

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.

The Apple Pencil 2nd Generation is a game-changer for anyone using an iPad for creative work, note-taking, or productivity. The sleek design and magnetic attachment for charging and storage are incredibly convenient. Its responsiveness and pressure sensitivity make it feel like a real pen, offering an unparalleled drawing and writing experience. The double-tap feature to switch tools is a thoughtful addition that boosts workflow efficiency. It’s an investment, but for artists, students, or professionals, it’s worth every penny. The only drawback is its compatibility limited to certain iPad models, but if your device supports it, it’s a must-have accessory.

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.

Recently gifted an ipad pro and knew that with so many features, having the pencil would greatly expand what my ipad could do. Its easy to use, easy to charge and has so many functions i havent even started to look into. I got an open box excellent condition and it looks and works like it is brand new.

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 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

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 love my pen for my iPad! I can get my work stuff done on my iPad, instead using my fingers. Charges fast and never dies on me.

Glad I bought the pencil but it is pricey. Easy to use with the iPad Pro. Like how the pencil hooks onto the iPad with a magnet. Like how the pencil charges when hooked onto the iPad.

I've never had an issue with this model of Apple Pencil save for my own clumsiness which has destroyed my last couple lol. It's a good product, same with iPads. I am an android user but I always go to Apple for tablets, trust. This particular purchase was open box, basically a 50% discount, and I've had no trouble.

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.

Absolutely, the Apple Pencil 2 is like a digital artist's best friend. Its precision and responsiveness are top-notch, making it a must for any iPad user. The magnetic attachment and wireless charging are super convenient. While it's a bit on the pricey side, it's an investment that creative professionals won't regret.

Great for my daughter she loves it, Easley to used and Easley to charge

It works very well! I love the features it comes with, stays charged long.

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’ve found the Apple Pencil useful as an artist, but I have some major caveats about it. First: the battery dies really quickly! Even when I’m not using it, if I forget to unpair it, the charge drains quickly. Plus, the only way of charging it is to put it on the edge of the tablet. This is good because you don’t need an additional charger. It’s not so great because it easy lose. I lost one pencil & had to replace it It’s an expensive tool to get lost easily Third: speaking of getting lost, the pencil doesn’t have a case that would make it easier to keep track of it & nib replacements. For me, I wanted an all in one my styli & tips. So I did get a case for everything. It would’ve been helpful to have a case, esp for people who don’t want or can’t buy another pencil. Fourth , intuitive use w/apps & graphic programs. Occasionally works well, other time there’s a slight lag which is an issue for artists And lastly, this is not the fault of this Apple Pencil. Some graphic programs don’t support Apple Pencil 2 anymore. For example, Adobe Illustrator only supports Apple Pencil Pro. I want to cry. I’ve been at a standstill with my work because of the recent change. Apple makes it so difficult to keep our electronics even if we don’t want to constantly upgrade & spending more money. You would think they could incorporated the Apple Pencil Pro for IPads that aren’t just for the latest OLED screen tablets which will set you back for at least $1500

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.

Very light and easy to use. I forget sometimes that I am holding the apple pen and try to write on a piece of paper to only realize I can write on paper with it. Excellent product is definitely a must have for the iPad Pro we have. Will be buying again with our second iPad.
