    I love the apple pencil. I previously had the 1st generation one and this one is so much better because I don't have charge it as it automatically charged. Highly recommend over the 1st gen.

    I own an original Apple Pencil for my old iPad Pro. This one us superior in many ways. Being able to charge via a magnetic hold on the side of the iPad is a game changer. I alway felt like I would lose the cap to my old Pencil. I no longer am worried about that. This feels great in my hand. Drawing on the iPad is so much fun.

    This new generation of apple pencil has many advantages over its predecessor. First, it charges on the side without trying to find the original charger or plugging into the end. Secondly, it has a flat side so it doesn't roll everywhere. Lastly, it has the capability to change settings (pencil to eraser) with a tap. These features alone are worth their weight in gold.

    I had to get the Apple Pencil after the 2nd malfunctioning $30 version broke. I still think the price is way too high... but I can say that it does work better and can do more things than the generic knock-offs. Charging on the magnetic strip of the iPad and the "Scribble" feature are both very nice. That said... I dropped it the second day after purchasing and it too stopped working. I had to purchase a set of replacement nibs. Thankfully, that solved the problem, but added another $20 bucks to my purchase. It's a good product, but treat it very gently.

    Apple nailed this product. My son used this for entire high school and using it in collage. Bought a second one for collage and he uses it extensively for write and drawing on his iPad Pro.

    Apples signature simplicity in design and functionality are on full display here. As a student who takes notes in class and a pilot who is frantically writing down instructions and information in the air, the Apple Pencil 2nd gen has been huge in my organization in situations I already use my iPad. Highly recommend!

    If you own the newer iPad Pro, I would highly recommend purchasing one. It makes the experience of the iPad Pro that much better and feels great when note taking and combined with specific screen protectors to mimic the pencil on paper feel. I really enjoy the simplicity of the pencil attaching magnetically/charging on the side of the iPad.

    Don’t Get For Just Note Taking

    After a month of use. Regular paper and pencil works just fine for notes although you won’t be able to organize and label important sections of your notes neatly. I’ve been using the Apple Pencil mainly to take notes. The Apple Pencil is great if you want to digitize your notes. Note taking has also been an upgrade for me since I can now color code notes and highlight digital documents. I’m able to take as many notes as I want without worrying about wasting paper. I can organize and file them accordingly for each topic and find them in a pinch. Although the $129.99 price is quite a lot for a stylus. Might be better to use notebook and paper. My classmates are having no troubles using paper and pencil, just uploading a photo of their notes and work is the only problem since our class website doesn’t take HEVC/HEIF photos (the standard format iPhones take photos and videos). Overall, I kind of do and don’t regret buying the Apple Pencil. It’s quite expensive and just using normal paper and pencil for class can achieve almost the same results. I feel that it’s worth buying if you’re a digital artists or if it was $99.99 like the first first gen. Some stuff about the Apple Pencil after a month of use •Matte design feels better than the first generation for sure •The magnetic design is a very nice thing to have since you don’t lose it and it charges every time it’s connected •Made the mistake of using the pencil while I still had just a light amount of motor oil still on my finger. It stained the pencil of course, but it disappeared after a few days of normal use. •Been using GoodNotes and Files to write and it doesn’t always write where the tip is at, usually off by just a minuscule amount but enough to throw me off, but I do have a glass screen protector on the tablet which is most likely the cause.

    The Apple Pencil works smoothly and pairs instantly with my iPad. It feels natural when writing or drawing, and the pressure sensitivity is excellent. Battery life lasts long and charges quickly. Definitely a must-have for creatives and note-takers!

    Best Buy offers the best price for the Apple Pencil (2nd gen) and has frequent sales on it. This is my second pencil (purchasing it as a gift) and again, Best Buy had the best deal on it! If you're someone who plans to use their iPad to take notes and draw the Apple Pencil is a must!

    Having both apple pencils and this one is way better, in terms of usability and the way it charges. The downside is only applicable to the iPad Pro series and a tad expensive. Overall it is valuable only if you really work with arts, otherwise, don't splash your money. You can spend the money to buy AirPods or other accessories.
