The Apple Pencil 2nd Generation from Apple is an excellent utility that takes the iPad Pro/Air to the next level. It improves on the original by adding some touch features such as tap to change brushes when you are writing. It also uses magnets to attach to the side of the iPad and to charge rather than use the lightening port like the 1st gen. My only complaint with the device is that connecting to the side of the iPad via magnet is not very secure if you are going to be transporting it somewhere outside of your home. Even inside my bag I feel I need to remove it and place it inside a pocket or some kind of case to ensure I don't loose it or damage it. It is an improvement over the previous model but I assume at some point Apple will create gen 3 with more features but that is probably going to be in 2022 now. For the current iPads this is the Pencil or "stylus" to get. Only the best in my opinion.

I use my iPad for many hours and even though it's easy to navigate with your fingers, it can get tiring. Apple Pencil to the rescue, so even if the best that you can do are stick drawings, the Apple Pencil can really help with general navigation, pointing, clicking and even for playing certain games. I hope that eventually it can be used for handwriting recognition and more.
A couple of cons is that it's pricey and it doesn't work when you swipe up to return to the home page or to exit a program. For that, you still have to use your fingers.

Perfect pencil. Can be uncomfortable after writing for a while so getting a rubber grip might be useful but you won’t be able to charge it on the iPad without removing it.
Sometimes, it doesn’t register my taps on the pencil itself but it’s not the worst.
Can’t complain, it works well. People recommend using a paper textured screen protector with the iPad but I’ve read it wears down the tip often and requires premature replacement.

Enjoying the new feel and look of the pencil. Better grip than first generation with the straight side for magnetic adherence. Magnet works fine. Less slippery; nicer texture to the surface of the pencil in this generation. I have no pencil carrier ... and I would not say that just the magnet is safe enough for transport; loss could occur. I have a sleeve from my prior iPad Pro that works if stretched a bit since leather does breathe and stretch. The sleeve contains the pencil holder. So when I go to work I can place the new Pro in the sleeve as well as safely carry the pencil. Too expensive to lose!

Great device to pair with your iPad. I just it sparingly when I want to jot down notes quickly and it works well. My only drawback is that writing on a screen still feels too slippery and it has less of the feel of paper. To fix that I have gone to using the ReMarkable tablet as my device for taking notes. However the Apple Pencil comes in handy for signing documents and writing down something quickly.

I really liked the pencil. It is very convenient to write anything on the ipad and the different features such as eraser and switching back to pencil is just seamless with double pad on the pencil

I was told that the iPad Pro is really only an investment you'd want to make if you're an artist and want a seamless drawing experience. I didn't really listen to that and I got a 12.9" Pro and Pencil anyway. And now I wanna learn how to draw. Just so I can really maximize the potential of this thing because the Pencil definitely is a solid piece of tech. It charges mad fast on the Pro, and it's actually really comfy to hold. My only gripe is that it's a little slippery in the fingers due to it's hard-plastic matte finish, but that might just be my dry hands. I can't wait to try this thing out more!
