This pen is lightweight and easy to use. It connected to my iPad with no problems and the magnetic wireless charging is golden.

Great Connectivity, battery charge durable and it's very smooth to use, detect perfectly your movements. The only bad thing is the price, I think is a little expensive for a pen.

This works great with the iPad! Draws well and is very versatile. Just don’t let it charge while you’re in your vehicle, lol. I learned the hard way that the Apple Pencil charging affects most modern car key fobs. Simple fix, just remove the pencil from charging while traveling.

This pen is ridiculously satisfying. I got some drawing apps and have caught myself behaving like a junkie & not putting it down for hours. I love how it feels in my hand and I love how it feels to draw & write with. I also love the magnetic attachment to the ipad, as opposed to the plug in of the old pencil. Love it!

Great Pencil. Much better than the first model. Smaller and sleeker fit in your hand. Also it’s magnetic stick directly to my IPad Pro . A must have when taking notes or drawing.

It protects the iPad so well. It has a very nice pencil holder as well. The only problem is the kick stand that you need to take the cover off to break the stand down. All in all very happy

I liked my first Apple Pencil. I Love the 2nd Generation Apple Pencil! Magnetic so you just have to put in on the side of the IPad Pro. It Also charges in this location. No cords or plugging in required and you can press on the pencil to change from writing to erasing, and, press again and go back to writing or drawing. Apple You did an outstanding job on this generation. I thoroughly enjoy shopping at Store #2511 in Muskogee OK. Scott, Gabriel, Kevin and the whole gang Thank You All for your kindness and making shopping at the Muskogee OK Bestbuy a positive and wonderful shopping experience!! All of You make it a pleasure to do business in Muskogee!

The Apple Pencil is the best stylus I've used for a digital device. Granted, I don't do much drawing, however it feels a lot more comfortable to use than my Samsung S-Pen due to it's larger size. It just feels sturdy in the hand! The magnets are also INCREDIBLY fun. I've put this thing on music stands, walls, and in other strange locations. As a student and musician, this has been fantastic for annotating my Jazz charts as well as doing quick math when I don't feel like wasting a piece of paper.
There are a few gripes I have though. For one, the price. It's simply too expensive for what should be a basic utility on the amazing canvas that is the iPad Pro. The second thing is the tips. Granted, I haven't been too gentle with the pencil... I move around a lot in classes and rehersals and this thing has been dropped a few times. However after two weeks the tip of the pencil was noticeably flattened, and the pencil failed to write at an angle... it had to be straight perpendicular to the display.
My advice? Do try and be gentle with the tip, it DOES wear over time. Regardless, you ARE gonna have to spend some cash on spare tips for this thing... which can be a bit pricey from Apple directly, but there are indeed other options on other websites. Just keep that in mind and don't be caught by surprise like I was!

Delivery was never made. It was delayed then Best Buy advised that shipment was lost by the carrier. As for the pencil, it's the best! The ipad holds it in place magnetically so you can't lose it. I can easily fill & sign documents with the Adobe app. BTW, this pencil is the same price at the Apple site and they monogram for free (next day) and free shipping. The pencil is worth every penny, wherever you buy it!

This Apple Pencil is much better than the last generation. It’s built way better and is way higher quality. It’s also great that there aren’t any buttons or switches to turn it on or off. Another plus is that it no longer has the end cap where you have to stick it into the iPad charging port to charge the pencil. The pencil just magnetically attaches to the side of the iPad and keeps charged while also conveniently storing the pencil when not in use. When you take the pencil off the side, it automatically turns on and is ready to use. Very simple!

I loved this pencil. I previously had the pencil pro but for my personal use this one is just as good and is compatible with the older model ipads so it suited me perfectly.

This thing is amazing. My daughter uses the pencil with her ipad air and photoshop for drawing. It is amazing the creations she is able to make. The charging is quick and simple just by connecting it magnetically to the ipad. Using it is super easy and took my daughter who is autistic all of 1 hour to figure out. This saved us hundreds vs getting a separate specialized drawing tablet.

This pen is so luxurious and easy to use on ipads. Being a college student this pen has provided me with amazing note taking and easy accessibility on other uses. This apple pen does not even near compare to any other stylus, it is light weight easy to work with and great for all handwriting types. I would recommend this pen over everything.

Back in October of 2021, I got the iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (5th generation) (256 GB) and the Apple Pencil (2nd generation). I was able to get a student discount because I have a dual enrollment at a local community college.
My main reason for getting an iPad was to start digital art. I’ve never really done digital art in the past and have recently started using Procreate.
The main complaint I have so far from 4 months of using these products together is that I don’t like how the pencil squeaks against the surface of the iPad. This doesn’t seem to be a problem for my friend, who does digital are frequently, with an older generation iPad and older Apple Pencil. I’m not sure what is causing the squeaking but the “nails on a chalkboard” noises affect the ways or motions I can draw with.
Another aspect I’d like to see improved in future iterations of the Apple Pencil is the weight and strain from use. This isn’t a huge issue as using any stylus can cause hand strain but I hope the next generation Apple Pencil can be lighter to reduce pains from extended periods of use.
Other than these problems, the iPad and pencil have been a great investment and have allowed me to create a lot of digital art. It’s very intuitive to use and the learning curve is definitely not as steep as its competitors (such as drawing tablets). My one suggestion is to extend the student discount to high school students and maybe have larger discounts for people who would love to use the product but may not be comfortable splurging.
If there’s any way to reduce the squeaking noises, I’d really appreciate some advice.
Thank you so much!

.I have been using this with my iPad Apple air 4. I use it both as a stylus, and drawing tool. I have found that it makes operations like text selection, and text editing remarkably easier than before. I also find that the new scribble function has great utility. I have not been using Very much for drawing at this time. The only issue I have, is that the iPad Air surface is very slippery and it takes a while to get used to writing smoothly and accurately with the - pencil which also has very little friction. Wireless charging is also an excellent new feature as well as the ability to magnetically place the pencil on the iPad.
