This pencil is great, I absolutely love using this for taking notes and drawing on my iPad. It holds a good charge and has no latency issues. I love it

I love that this charges by sitting on top of the iPad. With the old pencil, I was constantly getting low battery warnings, and was always worried that I would damage the pencil or my ipad while charging it. (I lost the adapter after about four minutes). This one is always charged - and the iPad battery life is still impressive. I love the double tap to change between pen and eraser. I’m bummed that the second tip is no longer included, but overall, this is a great upgrade!

I like Apple products. It’s just done right. This pencil is a great improvement over the first one. And the first one was not bad. The control with different apps is impressive. I use it to take notes at work and make fast drawings. I will use it to make drawings for customer schools that I teach for our company. I like the ability to put a fast charge on it. The magnet charging on the iPad Pro is really cool.

Really great accessory to the new iPad Pros. Not totally necessary if you aren’t an artist or designer, but if you’re considering an iPad Pro as a laptop replacement, it’s basically like a mouse in that sense and good for taking notes as well. It honestly depends on your preference and usage, but it works exactly as advertised and is a much better improvement in every aspect over the first generation Apple Pencil. Only real con is the price, unfortunately. Although, you do get what you pay for.

The Apple Pencil works as flawlessly as one would imagine with the iPad. Pairing is instant and totally automatic and charging is a breeze. Being able to “write” text directly instead of using the keyboard may or may not be fun but I personally find it clunky, impractical and avoid it. The Apple Pencil is a must for digital artists and this is where it really shines. As it is very expensive (even on sale), if you don’t need this device specifically for creating digital art on an iPad and just need a stylus, there are way cheaper options out there!

It took me a while to get used to this, but with the addition of the PaperLike screen protector, it's become a very handy note taker. The battery life of the pencil is very good. One thing I did encounter, though, and I haven't seen anyone else mention this. My Pencil stopped working once, and after unpairing and re-paring it, it still wouldn't work. I noticed that the tip had pulled a little bit out of the pen, and when I twisted/pushed it back in, all was well again. Something to watch for if you start having issues. But other than that, I'm happy with this purchase.

So smooth and really unlike any stylus you've ever used. If you are getting an iPad that does support this, you'll want to get it because literally nothing else can compare to it really. I think that if you don't need to write, then skip it because it is pricey but if you know you're going to be writing a lot, drawing, jotting notes in e-books etc, then don't hesitate and just get one. You won't regret it..

I love the 2nd generation of the Apple Pencil. It feels good in my hand and I don't think the nib is too thick or makes drawing difficult. I don't really use it for notes - just art, but I mean it is a fantastic 'stylus'. Much better than the first generation I think. My only complaint is that I think it is priced a bit too high.

I loaded the Procreate app on my 11" iPad Pro and needed the Apple Pencil for the drawings I'm making for class. The Apple Pencil paired with my iPad immediately and charged up very quickly. It works super with the app. If you are into any of the art apps, the Apple Pencil is great!

This is my first Apple pencil and I was curious how it would work with my latest iPad Pro 12. It is flawless and I can't think of anything negative. The magnetic attachment is perfect and you don't have to struggle to take it off. It re-attaches without an issue. The pencil makes it so much easier to fill forms and sign documents. Life is easier and this is a great product.

This pen is a total upgrade on the original and it's a shame it's not backwards compatible. It does cost more, however I never runs out of battery since it's always magnetized to my ipad. I also don't have to worry about losing the cap that covered the insertable charging side.
Not to mention we have dogs around so I constantly feared them breaking the pencil off inside the ipad while charging so this is a much more hassle-free option.

Really love the apple pencil, use it to write notes and do some light drawing. I greatly prefer writing notes rather than typing them but I always end up losing notebooks or forgetting where I wrote something and having this allows me to eliminate that issue. Definitely a splurge type of item for me but worth it.
