Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you are a creator then you need this pen. From editing photos in Lightroom or Photo Shop. You can edit videos more precisely and also draw in apps like Pro Create . The iPad is good alone but if your into photo editing like I am , I rely on the Apple Pencil every time . If you draw , or edit photos or videos this is the pen to buy

I’m still trying to reconcile the higher price. I actually do use it more than the previous version because of the ease of charging and the elegant magnetic connection to the iPad, but come on! This seems like a money grab to me. Functionality is fine, but not noticeably better than the earlier version. Why am I paying more for a fix that should not have been necessary in the first place??!! I mean, could there have been a more ridiculous (and un-Apple-like) charging setup than sticking this thing into the iPad at a right angle? No, I don’t think so. Still, it’s a great accessory - just one we shouldn’t have to pay a premium for, given it’s clunky predecessor.

This pen is in fact....ALL THAT! So much more than a stylus there is really no comparison. Very responsive and allows for sketching.....I never knew it, but I can literally draw! Can't wait to take a tutorial. Apple has so many classes! The battery life is excellent too! Reprogramming myself not to use my finger.....I hate smudges. Pricey but worth it!

Very accurate and easy to use. Love how it charges and magnetizes to iPad.!

Great for taking notes and drawings! This one is easy to charge.

Got it on sale at Bestbuy for 40% off on Oct 2022. Have a little trouble to find direction to connect to iPad, but after watch instruction on YouTube and it was very simple to use. Easy to charge Apple Pencil without any wire, great product for iPad.

This pen is very accurate and sensitive. Exactly what I was looking for. Some people complain about it being a little over price for what you get but if you find use for it every day when using your iPad and getting use to it, it makes it worth it.

Works great! automatically paired with my iPad after I attached it. I love that it charges on the iPad and there is no need for a separate charger.

I use my Apple Pencil 2 everyday as I take notes with my IPad Pro 11. The Apple Pencil 2 can charge by attaching it to your IPad. The Apple Pencil 2 also has no lag and writes flawlessly. It is very comfortable to hold. Overall, I would recommend the Apple Pencil 2 if you have a new version of the IPad Pro.

This Apple Pencil is really well designed. First is the very strong magnet that allows your pencil to sit atop your IPAD. Easy to use for any sized hands and is very responsive given its application. One thing to watch out for is that the tip needs to be all the way screwed in to the pencil itself or it will not work .

Using Apple Pencil second generation with iPad Pro 11 inch. This pencil is a huge improvement over the first generation. I like to get it charges in the case with the iPad, or just by sitting next to it. I appreciate being able to double tap in order to switch from writing to erasing (can be set to last tool used or color palette), but this can still be improved by Apple. I’ve also used the Surface Pro with pen and love how it works like a real pencil when you flip from the writing tip to the other end of the pencil to erase (think of a regular wooden pencil from elementary school or just a regular pencil—one end writes, other end erases). Now, if Apple allowed for that and still kept the double tap, maybe included a triple tap, as well, then one could easily switch between writing, erasing, using the last tool, AND color palette). I wish I could use my Surface pen with my iPad, but this 2nd gen pencil is still better than the first. I look forward to the day when Apple is not so stingy with what their products can do. Don’t get me wrong, I love Apple products, but I am not afraid to see what others are offering, allowing me to see what possibilities are out there. I think Apple is still counting on many of us to continue grandfather-ing from one Apple product to another, but even I can see Apple is not really evolving/incorporating the best of what’s out there. For what this Apple Pencil 2nd gen is supposed to do, write and erase and access palette, it does that. The pencil does not use the double tap in some of the store apps, like drawing, but the pen works with some of the Apple apps. The pencil is quick and easy to use; it is still ridiculously overpriced, and has the potential to do so much more (perhaps switch between pencil/pen/paintbrush; slide finger up/down pencil to change writing width or change colors or move from lighter to darker shades of color being used, ...). So much potential. Overall, the Apple Pencil serves the basic purposes mentioned above. The service I received at Best Buy from Tybris was wonderful. He answered my questions, provided options, and rang me up. Give that guy a raise, an iPad, and an Apple Pencil. I tried to upload a photo of the pencil but apparently the “file is too big”. So enjoy the review and be sadface there ain’t no picture to accompany.

Good product. Use to take notes in college. Only thing I wish was different is how it connects to my ipad. This is my second pencil because the first one fell off. Also, while it is very useful, it seems a little pricey.

This product was purchased to replace a missing pencil. Easily paired and works as it should

As a true fan of apple products, You really can't go wrong with this in terms of practicality for everyday use, ease of charging (since it stays safely connected to your advice). The only thing I wish you can do is have it be located via FIND MY DEVICES in the remote circumstances that it is lost.

Works great. I had to buy a new one after a couple years because I was unaware that these types of lithium batteries with degrade if left uncharged, so please be mindful of that. They are convenient with the magnetic attachment/charging and work perfectly otherwise.

Apple’s pencil is unbeatable. It works like butter when doing digital art or for note taking. Love that it attaches to the iPad itself and charges/stays charged when not in use. Such a helpful tool!

This pen is super useful! You can even use it when browsing the search engines. The design is also comfortable in the hand and the mobility is excellent compared to the 1st gen being plugged in. I would recommend opting for the second, which also charges on the side of the Ipad.

You could say there are no buttons and the gestures are a little different but when it comes down to it this is a top of the line stylus with great response and fidelity. Attached(magnetic and charges on the iPad body. Couldn't be simpler. If you have an iPad pro and need a stylus, this is it. Only knock would be the price but hey, it's Apple!

The only pencil I’ve had to use and has worked flawlessly since I’ve gotten it.

This is a better version of an Apple Pencil. No more taking cap off to charge. Nice that it magnetically connects to new IPAD and charges that way. I think Apple accessories are a little expensive sometimes but I anticipate using the pencil frequently. If you have a new IPAD, it is worth the investment to get the pencil too.
