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.

    The pencil paired immediately with my iPad Pro by just placing it on the magnetic charging location. It stays there securely (under normal use) when I am not using it and is convenient to reach when I am ready to use it. I am not an artist, but have been using it as a general stylus for navigation and selecting and for drawing simple sketches. I have also tried “Scribble,” which converts handwriting to printed text, and found that it works well.

    A Must-Have Tool for Creators

    I'm thoroughly impressed with the Apple Pencil! It's become an indispensable tool for me, and I use it daily. The precision, responsiveness, and overall performance are top-notch. It's a game-changer for note-taking, sketching, and creative work. My only gripe is that the battery life drains even when not in use, which seems like a minor oversight. I've lost count of how many times I've reached for the Pencil only to find it dead. A simple feature like a low-power mode or auto-sleep would go a long way in addressing this issue. Despite this quibble, the Apple Pencil remains a fantastic accessory that has transformed my workflow. If you're an artist, designer, or simply a note-taker, do yourself a favor and get one. Just remember to keep it charged!

    I got this to go with my son‘s iPad mini, but unfortunately it is not compatible. It works with my iPad so we kept it but just to make sure that you check the compatibility before you buy it. I just figured it was the newest iPad mini, so it would go with any of the pens, but that was my bad. It works great with my tablet though.

    Second generation of the Apple Pencil

    This new Apple Pencil works great...magnetized to lay right on top of the iPad Pro, 11” or the 12.9”. The iPad even keeps the pencil charged while attached to the iPad. I like the second generation better than the first generation because the second generation has a flat side so than it can be laid down on a table without rolling off. The first generation was completely round...you didn’t dare lay it down or it would be gone. I highly recommend this pencil.

    The Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) is a must-have for anyone using an iPad for creativity or productivity. It feels incredibly natural, almost like writing on paper, with precise responsiveness and no noticeable lag. The magnetic attachment and wireless charging are super convenient. It’s perfect for note-taking, drawing, and editing, making everyday tasks smoother and more efficient.

    I upgraded to the Apple pencil to draw on Procreate as all of the reviews from youtube etc. that said save money on alternate brands did not pan out! Get the real thing - it saves time, money, and frustration.

    I think this is a must have for anyone that does a lot of writing or drawing. Geared more towards artists, but fun for those who want to dabble with drawing or writing as a new form of art. Love how it clips to the iPad making it very easy to charge. Only concern I have is when I'm traveling and I could potentially bump into something that would cause it to disconnect and get lost.

    The Apple Pencil completed my setup for my iPad and keyboard to ensure it was able to provide a wide host of abilities. The Apple Pencil is simple to use and accurate while using. I tend to use it mostly for craft related tasks and it performs beautifully. The battery life is decent and it has a nice feel in the hand. If there are tasks you know you could use it for, don’t hesitate to add it to your setup!

    I found this pencil a Great pencil! You can write as fluidly as possible! You can charge as easily as possible at the side of the ipad itself. It sticks there with magnet! The tip is so nice that you feel like you writing with an actual pencil on a paper!

    Best Stylus for the iPad Pro

    Best stylus you can buy for the iPad pro. It easily charges by snapping to the top/side of your ipad and charges wirelessly. Works seamlessly with iPadOS, double tapping the pencil to change modes. Tips are replaceable and last a long time. Pencil battery is plenty and I haven't had any instance where it died on me, but I also use the ipad to "store" the pencil so it does charge frequently.

    I wanted to buy the pencil because the other cheaper ones that are not apple, did not seem to work well. This one works for me. I can take notes for work and other uses. I like that it stays with my IPad and maintains the charge. No batteries needed.

    I love this device. It charges by snapping magnetically to the side of my iPad and is very responsive and accurate when drawing. I recommend trying a screen protector that is “paper-like” on your iPad when using the Apple Pencil- it makes drawing feel so much more natural. The only complaint I have is that there aren’t any replacement tips included like the first Gen had.

    When I purchased my new iPad I mistakenly thought I could use my original Apple Pencil. Nope! Time to give Apple more money since they don't have enough. It is much easier to use than the original Apple Pencil. It is nice that it can charge wirelessly and does not need to be plugged into the charge port on the iPad. The price went up from the first pencil. It's Apple after all. I do recommend it and I use it 90% of the time I am on my iPad so I guess it was worth it.

    This thing is absolutely insane. I would absolutely recommend this pencil to any aspiring artist or current artist. It’s really cool because you can tilt it to the side to create thicker strokes and double tap the pencil for eraser toggles. Would absolutely recommended for anyone into drawing. The charging is really great too. It literally just magnetizes to the side of the iPad and you don’t even need to think about it.
