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.

    Good but pricey

    As others have said, the Apple pencil is a pricey but great stylus. The 2nd Gen is much improved over the 1st Gen Pencil. It feels nicer to hold and write with and being able to charge it by connecting it to the iPad magnetically is much better than plugging it into the bottom of the device. I use it mostly for taking notes and marking up PDFs, and it is very smooth and responsive. The only downside is that the magnets connecting it to the side of the iPad are not super strong, so it isn’t really practical to leave it attached at all times since it might get knocked off.

    I just got the Apple Pencil and it's a game changer for taking notes and sketching on my iPad. The precision and responsiveness are top-notch, and I love the feel of the pencil on the screen. It's a bit pricey, but in my opinion it's worth it for the added convenience and improved productivity. Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend the Apple Pencil to anyone in need of a high-quality stylus.

    Works great for taking notes. The quality is excellent and the pencil feels very solid. I’ve also used it a little bit for drawing, and while I’m not an artist, I appreciate the pressure sensitivity. The battery life is very good. After using it for about a 90 minute class period, it goes down to maybe 90% or a bit less. It charges very quickly as well. When I first got it, the battery was at 0%, and it charged to 20% in less than a minute.

    I was going to get the Logitech crayon instead because the tips are exactly the same as the Apple Pencil and it was cheaper but because I was coming from the iPad Pro 9.7 I wanted to experience charging my pencil magnetically instead of plugging it in. With the original Apple Pencil, I had to have a grip on it to use it and I had to get used to writing with it but with this one, I not only do not need a grip but I got used t on it literally the first use. Being able to double tap to change from pen to eraser is an added bonus.

    If you have or are getting an iPad model that is compatible with this pencil, buy it! My wife didn’t want the pencil at first and now she can’t put it down! The pencil allows you to really use the finer detailed artistic apps that require a more precise touch than a finger. The battery life is incredible and it charges so fast when it magnetically attaches to the iPad that in the months we have owned and used it extensively, we have never had the battery go dead. The pencil is comfortable to hold and use glides smoothly on the iPad screen.

    Upgrading from the 1st generation Apple Pencil, there’s not a tremendous difference for my use case. I use the Pencil for simple note-taking for school, and there’s not a tremendous difference in precision/accurary for this Pencil compared to the 1st generation. However, what separates this device is the charging/storing mechanism. Having the Pencil magnetically attach & charge to iPad is EONS better than the first generation implementation. The Pencil charges quickly and the magnetic strength is highly reliable. Price is a bit much, but overall a great complimentary purchase.

    Excellent product. It is a fantastic tool to use with my new iPad. It has a magnetic side that adheres to my iPad (and stays put when not in use) which I love. It also charges the pencil in the same way. I use it for many different tasks. My favorite way to use this would be for artwork, puzzles and anything that requires a finer touch. If you’re on the fence about purchasing this, think it over and spend the extra money. It will be worth it!

    I love my Apple Pencil! Simply another outstanding product produced by Apple, Inc. I nice piece of technology and a great addition to the Apple Ecosystem. I use it daily primarily for taking notes. I just downloaded Procreate to draw but I haven’t go into quite yet. Overall, great accessory for your IPad. The battery life is remarkable and charging it back in is lightening fast! I may seem a little pricey but it is truly a great investment if you intend on taking notes or drawing. I highly recommend this product!
