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.

    Love the functionality of this Apple Pencil. My only issue is that it does not stay connected to the magnetic side of my iPad Pro where the issue tends to be it gets knocked off easily. I did not use my iPad Pro for a period of time and didn’t realize the pencil wasn’t fully connected. The pencil has since had a dead battery and will no longer pair to my iPad. Apple support said this will happen if the pencil is not charged for a period of time resulting in an absolute dead battery. The only fix, is to get an entire new pencil. Therefore the deduction of one star. Other than that the ease of use and ability to free draw has been awesome. I do however wish they would find a better way for the Apple Pencil to stay secured.

    The Apple Pencil is extremely useful in terms of: you don’t get even close as tired writing with this pencil like you do if you’re writing on paper with a regular pencil, and I love that because I write ALOT of notes. This thing is amazing.

    I thought the iPad was complete on its own—until I tried the Apple Pencil for note taking at work. Now, I can’t imagine using one without the other. What makes it special isn’t just the technology, though that’s impressive. The instant pairing and magnetic charging mean it’s always ready to go. The matte finish keeps it comfortable during long sketching or note-taking sessions. The double-tap gesture feels like a small detail, but it changes everything when you’re in the flow. But the real magic is in the experience. Taking notes in class feels faster than typing. Sketching concepts for work feels natural, with zero lag. Even marking up PDFs or editing photos is smoother, cleaner, and somehow more enjoyable. It turns the iPad into something bigger than a tablet—it becomes a sketchbook, a planner, a canvas, a creative studio. Yes, it’s pricey. But instead of feeling like a splurge, it feels like an investment in creativity and productivity. The Apple Pencil 2 doesn’t just enhance the iPad—it unlocks it. Five stars.

    You’re missing out on a lot of functionality if you have an iPad but no stylus. If your iPad is compatible with it, the Apple Pencil 2 is worth the premium over the 3rd party alternatives. The way the Apple Pencil 2 snaps to side of the iPad and charges magnetically is awesome, as is the fact that I have never had to re-pair it my iPad.

    This pencil works just the way I need. Perfect! Easy to charge and easy to use. I bought a cheaper pencil (no much cheaper) and was hard to charge and harder to use. I recommend buying this to use with iPad if you need one!

    I haven’t used it that much due to not being an artist. But have used it to take notes and hi light things in my digital text book for school. I was originally worried as to how it would charge or if I had to get a new one if it died. But it just magnetizes to the edge of the iPad and instantly starts charging. I’m personally glad I got it. I think it’s over priced for what it is. Unless you use it way more than I do. Then it would seem reasonable. But a fantastic device like everything else Apple.

    I was using a knock-off previously and just not getting the results I wanted - without having tried it, I gambles on the Apple Pencil. And... IT ROCKS. It feels like everything it's supposed to be, maybe even better. It's got 0 lag on my iPad Pro, it's responsive, the pressure and tilt sensitivity lets me get amazing lines the first time. It's light, and feels much like drawing with a real pencil or drafting pencil. My only regret is waiting so long to pick one up.

    Best stylus for the iPad Pro and Air

    The only stylus you need for the iPad Pro. It's the flagship simply because it charges magnetically (not sticking in the bottom like the goofy version 1 Pencil) and the double tap gesture is really nice when optimized in the apps.

    The pencil paired immediately with my iPad Pro by just placing it on the magnetic charging location. It stays there securely (under normal use) when I am not using it and is convenient to reach when I am ready to use it. I am not an artist, but have been using it as a general stylus for navigation and selecting and for drawing simple sketches. I have also tried “Scribble,” which converts handwriting to printed text, and found that it works well.

    This new Apple Pencil works great...magnetized to lay right on top of the iPad Pro, 11” or the 12.9”. The iPad even keeps the pencil charged while attached to the iPad. I like the second generation better than the first generation because the second generation has a flat side so than it can be laid down on a table without rolling off. The first generation was completely round...you didn’t dare lay it down or it would be gone. I highly recommend this pencil.

    A Must-Have Tool for Creators

    I'm thoroughly impressed with the Apple Pencil! It's become an indispensable tool for me, and I use it daily. The precision, responsiveness, and overall performance are top-notch. It's a game-changer for note-taking, sketching, and creative work. My only gripe is that the battery life drains even when not in use, which seems like a minor oversight. I've lost count of how many times I've reached for the Pencil only to find it dead. A simple feature like a low-power mode or auto-sleep would go a long way in addressing this issue. Despite this quibble, the Apple Pencil remains a fantastic accessory that has transformed my workflow. If you're an artist, designer, or simply a note-taker, do yourself a favor and get one. Just remember to keep it charged!
