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.

    I like the pen! It's got a nice weight to it and as much as people have mentioned needing a second separate pie e to charge the pen, it isn't that bad! It charges fairly quick which is nice so that I'm not left going multiple hours without my pen

    This pen is a total upgrade on the original and it's a shame it's not backwards compatible. It does cost more, however I never runs out of battery since it's always magnetized to my ipad. I also don't have to worry about losing the cap that covered the insertable charging side. Not to mention we have dogs around so I constantly feared them breaking the pencil off inside the ipad while charging so this is a much more hassle-free option.

    I had the first iPad Pro and I really didn’t like the pencil. It was really big where it didn’t feel very normal in the hand. It was glossy and so after a few minutes of taking notes it would get slippery. And charging it through the iPad was just bad. The new gen is much better! It’s a matte finish so a lot smoother and grippier in the hand. I believe it is a little smaller although I did not have the old pencil to compare it too... and charging the new pencil is genius!

    A staple in one’s iPad workflow arsenal

    I’m a photographer working with the iPad Pro (2018) and this is like my 4th or 5th pencil repurchase, but not because they’re bad quality and keep breaking, but because of my negligence in losing them and giving one away to my nephew who’s picking up digital art. If something happens to my pencil, I will SCRAMBLE to buy a new one because it’s just sooo integral to my workflow. I’d rather not have a stylus at all than work with any other stylus for the iPad Pro… but I’d MUCH rather just have the Apple Pencil always at hand because of how PERFECT it is to work with. The little to no latency, the glide of the tip on the screen, the ergonomic feel of it in the hand, it’s just toooo good!

    The Apple Pencil stands as a pinnacle of precision and functionality, seamlessly marrying form and function. Its sleek design, responsive tip, and pressure sensitivity provide an unparalleled writing and drawing experience. The seamless integration with iPad devices elevates creativity to new heights, making it an indispensable tool for artists, designers, and note-takers alike. The intuitive gestures, wireless charging, and palm rejection further enhance its user-friendly nature. While it comes with a premium price tag, the Apple Pencil's performance justifies the investment for those seeking an unparalleled digital pen experience.

    If you have a new iPad Pro and are on the fence about buying the pencil, do me a favor and punch yourself! Your blowing it bad! This thing is amazing. I’m blown away by it. It makes note taking, drawing and other things extremely easy. It’s easy to charge and I have nothing bad to say about it! So please spend the money and buy it, you will not be disappointed. I have owned other iPads and let’s just say with the pro and the pencil it is a completely new experience!!

    I was pretty hesitant to purchase this due to the price, but it is so worth it! I can’t compare it to anything else because this is the first time i’ve used an apple pencil but it works so great! The charge lasts a long time, it’s easy to charge, it’s easy to hold, writing with it is amazing. I have nothing but good things to say about it! so if you’re like me and you’re heavily debating on if you should get it or not... GET IT.

    Recently gifted an ipad pro and knew that with so many features, having the pencil would greatly expand what my ipad could do. Its easy to use, easy to charge and has so many functions i havent even started to look into. I got an open box excellent condition and it looks and works like it is brand new.

    The pencil design is very comfortable to write with and was easy to adjust to. The pencil also has a magnetic charging feature making it convenient to charge both the pencil and ipad simultaneously without worry of misplacing the pencil.

    It took me a while to get used to this, but with the addition of the PaperLike screen protector, it's become a very handy note taker. The battery life of the pencil is very good. One thing I did encounter, though, and I haven't seen anyone else mention this. My Pencil stopped working once, and after unpairing and re-paring it, it still wouldn't work. I noticed that the tip had pulled a little bit out of the pen, and when I twisted/pushed it back in, all was well again. Something to watch for if you start having issues. But other than that, I'm happy with this purchase.

    For Artists Only

    The Apple Pencil works as flawlessly as one would imagine with the iPad. Pairing is instant and totally automatic and charging is a breeze. Being able to “write” text directly instead of using the keyboard may or may not be fun but I personally find it clunky, impractical and avoid it. The Apple Pencil is a must for digital artists and this is where it really shines. As it is very expensive (even on sale), if you don’t need this device specifically for creating digital art on an iPad and just need a stylus, there are way cheaper options out there!

    I've used this pencil a few years now and had to upgrade my wife's from the 1st Generation. She loves it and is the best pencil out there. I use mine daily for journaling, business notes, drawing and illustration. Great battery life and was a game changer for me.

    Easy to use, writes smoothly on the iPad. Have to be careful with the wrist on the tablet stopping the scroll and I often accidentally double tap the side which changes colors in pdf edit mode. Can complain about the price but it’s Apple….. so purchase an open box item, and you still have the warranty. I enjoy this much better than the v1 pencil. Easier to use and charge.

    I love the 2nd generation of the Apple Pencil. It feels good in my hand and I don't think the nib is too thick or makes drawing difficult. I don't really use it for notes - just art, but I mean it is a fantastic 'stylus'. Much better than the first generation I think. My only complaint is that I think it is priced a bit too high.

    Simplicity is what this second generation pencil is all about. Wireless charging utilizing magnetic coupling with the iPad Pro is brilliant, without worries of losing the cap and recharging the pencil with the lightning connector everyday. The double tapping of the pencil to swap to eraser mode makes it way more convenient and fluid than selecting the eraser tool. Highly recommended, pricey, but you get what you paid for.
