Customers are saying

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.

    Huge upgrade from the 1st generation pencil. Clicks and charges right on your iPad. It is fun to sketch and draw with it. Definitely recommend to anyone on the fence about getting one. It is not a necessity but it is functional and fun. Docking a star because the price should be a little lower plus it would be nice to have an eraser function on the other end but it is still worth getting and recommended.

    #2 Apple Pencil

    Honestly, I was more annoyed that I "forced" to buy a 2nd gen Apple Pencil after upgrading my iPad Pro. I already owned a 1st gen Apple Pencil, but changes in design/charging forces you to upgrade. It functions much like the 1st gen, but I like that it charges by connecting to the side of iPad. I also like that you can tap the side to change features of the pencil. I'm just tired of giving Apple all my money.

    Absolutely a must if you’re getting an iPad. I bought this with my iPad and I truly couldn’t imagine having an iPad without this. It charges SO fast. The best part is that I don’t actually have to charge it, it magnetically connects to my iPad and charges itself. As someone who is incredibly forgetful that has been a game changer. HOWEVER, the biggest drawback for me is that if you misplace it you are out of luck. Good luck finding it because it’s missing the signature “find my” services. When I tell you this thing is easy to misplace, I’m not even joking. But I’ve become more thoughtful when putting the pencil down and I don’t have that problem anymore. I definitely think you can’t have an iPad without a pencil if you’re planning on being productive.

    I bought this as an open-box item (salesperson said it had been used as a demo) at my local Best Buy on Feb 26, 2019, and it’s still going strong. It’s been accidentally dropped 2-3 times and - based on reviews I had read - I was nervous each time that it wouldn’t work anymore, but I’ve had zero issues. It holds a charge well and does exactly as it’s supposed to. If I had to offer any critique, it’d be that the couple of times it did stop working was due to the tip being a bit loose/unscrewed from normal use. Now, I just tighten it out of habit, but definitely more than needed as it only happened a couple of times in the first few months. Otherwise, I’m pleased with the product and pleased with Best Buy on the reliability and condition of the item as an open-box sale.

    Not your average stylus.. it’s a digital pen that never runs out of ink. It is well made and has a good weight and feel in my hands. I have never used a stylus pen before, so this would be a very beginners review. So as far as first impressions, I am impressed. Disclaimer: I am an Apple user and a fan of the products I have purchased. But so far, I have not been disappointed. Working with this pen, using the Adobe drawing and design apps is basically working for me. The ease of charging it magnetically instead of plugging it on the side, is such an awesome design. Obviously, I like it, and recommend it. Stop in to Best Buy and try it out before you buy. If your getting the IPad Pro 2018 Model, it is a must companion to unlock the full potential that the IPad can offer.

    It's Magnetic in More Ways than One!

    This is a great tool! It was exactly what I needed, and I love how easy it is to use. It's magnetic and charges itself in that special magnetic spot which means I know where it will be all the time, and I never have to worry about figuring out how to turn it on, turn it off, replace a battery, sharpen it, etc. It is so efficient and practical. It's great!

    Bought a new pencil to replace my old one that broke at the tip. Love the magnetic charging, one less thing to have to worry about charging. Can just attach and go without worrying about its battery. The battery last a while without needing to be recharged

    I love how the new pencil has pressure sensitivity and the line gets thicker if you hold the pencil to the side. The easy charging by magnetically connecting it to my iPad is a HUGE improvement from having to plug it in with a cord or plugging it into the charging port of the iPad. The price is still kind of high but I was able to get a price match for $15 off since Amazon had it priced cheaper.

    Recently picked up a 12.9" iPad pro. Absolutely gorgeous (haven't had an iPad since the 2nd/3rd Generation). As i'm working on transitioning from my Macbook Pro to the iPad pro for my photography, the apple pencil was a must. It's been awhile since i've used a stylus or anything like that...but, this was easy to catch onto. iOS had a nice tutorial on how to use the pencil. I love that you can double-touch the pencil while holding it, and it'll go to/revert to another function (which can be completely programmed). Writing with it and using it on the iPad is very nice. Reminds me of when i had a Wacom tablet, but I can honestly say that I like this more. A little on the pricey side, but worth it in my opinion.

    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.

    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 Pencil (2nd Generation)

    After buying an Apple iPad 11Pro a few months ago I had read about these pens and although I was already using a basic stylis, this Apple iPen is something special, and I’m yet to fully utilise all it’s features. The plug n play make starting to use is great, you simple BT it to your device then but placing it onto the side of the tablet the magnetic pull sits it in place easily where it begins charging (it was already about half charged out of the box). Each time my iPad grabs it for rest a charge % icon comes up on the screen and although it utilises the iPad batterie, it’s very quick and hardly bothers the iPad charge.

    Apple Pencil gives you a completely different experience when interacting with the iPad. It gives you much better accuracy when editing a video or a photo, even when writing it has very little latency. The negative point is its price, it is expensive.
