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.

    The pen is easy to use and works well with my iPad Air (4th gen). I like that I just place it on the iPad and it starts charging. It is nice and neat. I have no complaints about the pen besides that it is pricey. However, I would still recommend and purchase.

    I've never had an issue with this model of Apple Pencil save for my own clumsiness which has destroyed my last couple lol. It's a good product, same with iPads. I am an android user but I always go to Apple for tablets, trust. This particular purchase was open box, basically a 50% discount, and I've had no trouble.

    The Apple Pen helps a lot with drawing applications because these are very sharp, and easier to do many details. A gift for my daughter who no longer needs to use her fingers much in any application when using her iPad. Easy to recharge, and I recommend it.

    Better than 1st gen

    Apple addressed quite a few of the flaws from the 1st gen with this product. The 2nd gen is so much more like a real pencil. When drawing or writing, It is way more precise and the response rate from pencil to iPad is much faster. I also appreciate the matte finish & flat side which makes it easier to hold and less likely to drop/roll off the table. My favorite part is the wireless charging and that it attaches To the iPad magnetically. I always disliked not being able to track my pencil or the fear of losing the little charging attachment, but those issus are no more. The only con is Apple didnt do anything with the other end of the pencil. I was hoping for an option to flip the pencil to erase like the real thing. The double tap feature for eraser is too sensitive and switches mid-draw without me wanting it to sometimes. It isn’t a deal-breaker though.

    I purchased the Pencil when I got the iPad Pro and I have no regrets. The Pencil is very quick to respond and is very simple to use. It’s a must have for any iPad Pro. The build quality is great, it charges quickly, the battery life is great, and it docks to the iPad.

    The Apple Pencil is a game changer for the iPad . I have the iPad Pro 11 “ and this is a complete difference maker . For me at least . I love how it connects magnetically and it charges from the iPad . The double tap feature to change from the pencil or eraser is super nice and easy . I love this . Great addition if you have the iPad . Makes writing a lot easier . Gives people who like art a chance to utilize the iPad pro for a great addition and feature as well .

    I purchased the 2nd generation Apple Pencil to compliment my new iPad Pro. Connecting it to the tablet is as simple as placing it on the magnetic edge, which also keeps your pencil charged. I've used the pencil occasionally and it works great and is perfectly accurate when you touch the screen. I don't do any drawing or writing on my iPad (yet) so I'm struggling to justify the expense, but I'm hoping to get more use out of it in the future because it really is a great accessory and I can tell it could be very useful.

    This is an impressive accessory that greatly enhances the iPad experience. Its comfortable design allows for a smooth and precise writing experience on the iPad screen. The battery life is commendable, ensuring extended usage without frequent recharging. The Apple Pencil proves to be particularly useful when using applications like Lightroom, as it enables precise editing and enhances productivity. Overall, its seamless integration with the iPad and exceptional writing capabilities make it a highly recommended tool for digital artists, note-takers, and creative professionals alike.

    Even if not for serious artists, having the pen makes iPad easier to use overall. It isn’t the best for typing, but it adds a new layer of dexterity when doing crosswords or skimming documents. Stays charged and pairs instantly. My dog chewed up my first one so I immediately bought another. Make sure you get the one that matches your iPad, though: there are a lot of versions available now and they don’t work with every model.

    Definitely a huge improvement I’ve the Apple Pencil 1. 1. Love the magnetic docking on the side of the iPad Pro. 2. Love the wireless charging while docked to the iPad Pro 3. Love the easy and no hassle pairing of the Apple Pencil to the iPad Pro. Simple as docking the pencil, and touching yes/agree. Done. 4. Extremely low latency and better improved response over the first gen Apple Pencil. 5. Love the solid unibody design. No small parts to lose this time. 6. Touch gestures are extremely nice and convenient. Gestures can be programmed to do other functions as well. 7. The flatten side of the Apple Pencil 2 makes easy grip and the Finish is matte which means way less slipping. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who has a use for the Apple Pencil. I like to use mine for photography and touching up pictures. Extremely nice accessory to have for the iPad Pro.

    Has both pressure sensitivity and tilt support, making it really good for drawing or creative work. Double-tap gesture: you can switch tools (like from pen to eraser) by tapping the side. Magnetic pairing and wireless charging: attach it to the side of a compatible iPad and it charges. Low latency and very precise input — great “natural” feel. Supports Apple Pencil hover (on some newer iPads), which helps with previewing strokes.

    Apple Pencil feels a little chintzy but works grea

    I miss the weight and heft of the 1st generation Apple Pencil; this one is a lot lighter and the one flat side causes my hand to cramp in ways the earlier version never did. However, the magnetic charging is a way better setup than having to plug the old version into the side of the iPad so it protrudes awkwardly. Be careful what kind of case you get for your iPad; the first one I got did not allow the Apple Pencil to fit snug enough to the magnetized panel on the top of the iPad, so the Apple Pencil's battery died on me. I had to take the case back and buy a better designed one to let the Apple Pencil sit snugly against the magnet, and haven't had another problem like that since. This Apple Pencil charges pretty quickly and the pressure sensitivity and range of different holding angles work great as they did with the first generation Apple Pencil, but I will say this version seems to be even more sensitive/precise than the earlier iteration. It's also really nice that the extra replacement nibs I bought will not go to waste, as they fit both the first and second generation Apple Pencils.

    The Apple Pencil 2nd Gen is a creative wizard! Precision? Nailed it! The double-tap feature is like magic for switching tools, and charging is a snap with the magnetic attachment. It's so comfy to hold, you'll forget it's not a real pencil! No smudges here – palm rejection works like a charm, and the pressure sensitivity is spot-on for all those artistic details. Specifically made for iPad Pro pals, but if you're serious about doodling or note-taking, this little gem is a game-changer.

    This Apple pencil is a great addition to the iPad Pro 12.9. Not only is it good for drawing, coloring, and writing notes, it really helps navigate the large screen of the 12.9 iPad pro. Charging is a breeze with the magnetic attachment to the iPad Pro. Charges quickly too.

    Apple brand iPencil 2nd Generation is Exactly what I need to use my favorite art apps such as Pro Create and Adobe apps. Second generation is key. No cheap imitations for me as I am a professional artist.
