Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

Works great with 12.9 iPad Pro. Streamline design attaches to iPad and charges , no need separate charging . Ease of use , performs just like a pen would , especially with app programs .

Makes life so much easier. If you love to draw or just love a stylist this pencil is for you. Easy to use. Love how it magnetize to your iPad and charges

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!

This pencil does everything id want. It magentically charges on the ipad, making sure its always ready to go. The battery life is incredibly good, meaning youll never run out of charge. While using it you can precisely write/draw, even as far as pressure sensitivity and angle detection. Overall a great purchase.

Its an apple pencil, get it if you want the pressure sensitivity and tilt features. If you are just looking for a writing tool and dont intend to do art or draw, get a cheaper alternative.

Charges very quickly and very smooth and effortless to use. Has good weight and size, material is just a little slippery. Double tap function is very useful.

The pen is precise and the battery lasts awhile. Very sleek and easy to use.

I’ve been using the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) daily for drawing, note-taking, and photo editing—and it has completely transformed how I use my iPad. The pressure sensitivity and tilt support are super accurate, and the double-tap feature to switch tools is a total time-saver. It charges magnetically on the side of the iPad, so I never lose it or forget to charge it. Whether you’re a student, creative, or just like to stay organized, this is hands down one of the best accessories Apple makes.

I purchase the pencil on a whim, not too sure if I would actually use it or not. Once I got it, I loved it! I use it everyday for various things from taking notes, playing games, drawing, etc. It's great!

This pen makes it so easy to use iPad and specially it is must for art work. Very happy with its features and performance, battery and design. Great product and satisfying purchase.

I am not an artist, who I imagine is the primary target market for this product, but the Apple Pencil 2 pairs so well with my iPad pro. I am a big note taker, and prefer to write versus typing when doodling or jotting down thoughts. I am constantly writing notes with this thing, and even finding myself actually drawing! I have no artistic ability, but this makes me want to keep playing with all that it can do on these powerful iPad pros. Plenty of people say they get this and don't use this as much as they thought they would have, but for me, I keep this with my iPad all the time and use it more than I thought I would.

I love my new pen. I like the way it charges and how easy it is to use. My drawings and anything i do on my tablet, turns out great.

Its good, hardly any lag but just overpriced in my opinion, then again I never really went with another product to test if it'd be as good. I got this to help with school and it does, makes it easy to highlight stuff in my online textbooks, other than that I don't really utilize it to its full potential.

Like how my i pad case charges it automatically. Works great. Still Learning how to use the pen and features. Learning as i go getting to know how to maneuver and swipe with the pen sometimes still by habit use my finger. Would recommend the Apple pen to anyone with a Ipad to buy one.

I really like the Apple Pencil. I like how you can draw fine details with it. I like that you can change between things easily and quickly. I also like that it can attach to my iPad to charge.

Very smooth and easy to use! Holds a charge all day and works seamlessly with the iPad Pro. Great for taking notes and studying. Very easy to import documents to annotate notes and diagrams

Excellent quality, as almost always for Apple products. Excellent accuracy. Could be cheaper.

I really like the Apple Pencil in comparison to any other tablet or computer stylus I’ve ever used. I use the pencil mainly with ProCreate or note taking. I think the pencil really works and feels best when you add a matte screen protector on your iPad. The pencil immediately connects to your iPad once you place it on the magnet. It has a really good battery life, too. It can be a little uncomfortable to hold though after using for many hours. Grips do exist, however, it’s difficult to find a good one since it still needs to attach to the iPad to charge.

The pencil is nice when drawing or writing. It’s great that it recharges right on the iPad, and syncs automatically when you attach it to the iPad. It is a little pricey though.
