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.

    BEST INVENTION EVER FOR IPAD

    I cannot believe how amazing this is on the ipad. I TRULY wish they could create a pencil like this for iphone. I use this all the time. I love being able to literally sign digital files with this too. I am not the best artist, but it is fun to use the pen for that. I have tried word search games, and highlight text. I bought several photo editing apps for the ipad pro and this pencil is so nice for detail oriented tasks in the apps. I now take the photo on my iphone and copy it to the ipad just to markup the photo and then send it back to the phone to share.

    Love how much this feels like an actual pen! Haven't had any troubles with it. Charges fast and no real lag that I can tell when writing on the iPad. Also the weight is perfect.

    Very nice pencil for drawing and sketching. It has a flat edge that attaches magnetically for automatic charging and pairing. A bit pricey (as are all Apple products), but very nice.

    I got the Pencil for my iPad Mini and I was a bit shocked at the price I was going to have to pay for this, but it's been worth having as a great accessory for quick and easy on the go photo editing with Adobe Lightroom. The amount of control you get with it and how seamlessly it works with the iPad is worth the price of admission. I will say that I wish this were included with the device and not a separate purchase. Even if the price were a bit higher, it just makes sense.

    An upgrade from the first generation Apple Pencil! With no lightning port charging or cap to loose the ease of use is perfect. The material quality is also better and I find the battery lasting me longer. Paired with a good case that keeps it in place while stored and charging there is no reason why it ever runs out of battery. Because it is pressure sensitive it’s ideal for not only students and notation but for artists as well. The iPad experience is elevated with this must have accessory.

    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’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.

    The Apple Pencil is the best stylus I've used for a digital device. Granted, I don't do much drawing, however it feels a lot more comfortable to use than my Samsung S-Pen due to it's larger size. It just feels sturdy in the hand! The magnets are also INCREDIBLY fun. I've put this thing on music stands, walls, and in other strange locations. As a student and musician, this has been fantastic for annotating my Jazz charts as well as doing quick math when I don't feel like wasting a piece of paper. There are a few gripes I have though. For one, the price. It's simply too expensive for what should be a basic utility on the amazing canvas that is the iPad Pro. The second thing is the tips. Granted, I haven't been too gentle with the pencil... I move around a lot in classes and rehersals and this thing has been dropped a few times. However after two weeks the tip of the pencil was noticeably flattened, and the pencil failed to write at an angle... it had to be straight perpendicular to the display. My advice? Do try and be gentle with the tip, it DOES wear over time. Regardless, you ARE gonna have to spend some cash on spare tips for this thing... which can be a bit pricey from Apple directly, but there are indeed other options on other websites. Just keep that in mind and don't be caught by surprise like I was!

    Very Cool Accessory That Actually Works!

    Honestly not sure what I'm supposed to say. I've never used a pencil on an iPad that actually worked, guess that's something. Works very nicely with Fusion and Sketchup. Can even decipher my horrible handwriting using the iPad for taking notes. Very cool accessory that charges while docked via magnets. Quite happy after a month of use.

    I liked my first Apple Pencil. I Love the 2nd Generation Apple Pencil! Magnetic so you just have to put in on the side of the IPad Pro. It Also charges in this location. No cords or plugging in required and you can press on the pencil to change from writing to erasing, and, press again and go back to writing or drawing. Apple You did an outstanding job on this generation. I thoroughly enjoy shopping at Store #2511 in Muskogee OK. Scott, Gabriel, Kevin and the whole gang Thank You All for your kindness and making shopping at the Muskogee OK Bestbuy a positive and wonderful shopping experience!! All of You make it a pleasure to do business in Muskogee!

    A must have for my 11” iPad Pro. Makes typing a breeze on the pop up keyboard. I use it for precision when using Lightroom CC Mobile. It attaches to the Pro with magnets and charges wirelessly. This is what the original pen should have been. I do not recommend storing/traveling the pen while it is attached to the side. It will pop off. I use a UAG case with a grip that secures the pen well. The pen feels well in the hand. It has a matte finish and is the size of a standard pencil. The pen is flat on one side which helps. I really enjoy using it, but paying for it felt liked getting kicked in the jimmy. If you can find a third party option, you’ll save lots.

    My only gripe is that I wish it came with a thick case or something since I have carpal tunnel and it's kinda skinny. The performance is crispy and user friendly.

    You don’t realize that you need this pencil until you have it. My iPad Pro has basically been upgraded and it lets me use my tablet to it to its full potential. Pencil is responsive and accurate, exchangeable tips are another great feature.
