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.

    Love the pen. Not really concerned with the price because it does what it was meant to do very well. I love to doodle/sketch and i love being able to do that. Love the recharging/magnetic feature and the “double-tap” to switch some of the pen’s functions was a good add on from Apple. Would buy it again if I lost it and highly recommend it.

    Been using it for a couple months right now. It has been mainly for school but I have tried doing a little bit of art. For school: Honestly a 10/10 My handwriting feels 10x better and being able to use multiple colors, copy and paste, and being able to move my notes. Important notice: Your experience will largely depend on your note taking app. The notes app will not cut it, without notify taking notes feels really bad. Same with the art, the free art app I was using felt bad and would move around too much, and brushes were bad. I have a digital tablet to connect to pc so I know how digit art should feel like.

    Love the new design. Charging by connecting to the side of the iPad is so convenient. Never broke my gen1 pencil, but I know many who did just because it got hit while hanging out the bottom or the charging port.

    This is my 2nd Apple Pencil (2nd generation). I like this better than USB Type C, because it charges with my iPad Air, and I think it's only compatible with the iPad Air, not the other models. Functionality-wise and accessibility is great. Don't forget to buy extra tips, though since I write a lot for my school so the tip gets worn out, but that's okay, given with the things that I write, I no longer use pen and paper for lectures, I use iPencil and iPad .

    Bought this Apple Pencil for my daughter. She has an iPad Pro and is an artist. She highly recommends it for any artist. The pencil has a great quality build and is easy to set up and use out of the box.

    Great stylus pencil, has no lag and is very accurate even with a screen protector on my air 5, though I realized that I don’t enjoy drawing on a digital device, I like being able to quickly take notes on my iPad without using a keyboard

    Great product. It’s a must have if you have a tablet that will allow it. I’ve purchased several as it’s one major drawback is it’s a little pencil and gets lose off rolling into adventures under and in couches, car seats, most coffee shop floors, and most recently an airplane. It’s a perfect compliment and necessary tool for my iPad Pro as long as I can hold on to it.

    Works great with iPad Pro, and enables some incredible input abilities that honestly compete with dedicated digitizers. The best upgrade here is that keeping the Pencil v2 charged up is fast & effortless (charging was a very-not-funny-joke on the original Pencil). I like the extra ‘double-tap’ gesture also.

    Pencil for Ipad pro.

    It's a nice pencil. Might have to get a grip or skin for it though. I find myself dropping the pencil a few times because it is slippery. Seems sturdy. I dropped it maybe about 5 times on the carpet floor and seems to be intact and functional. I like the magnetic charge feature. The tip could be a bit softer. Makes a lot of tappy noise when writing. I tried some tip covers but I didn't like them because it affects the drawing and writing experience. Not so happy about the price for a pencil tool. Besides these things, this pencil works great with drawing and writing apps. A must-have if you are using your ipad for these purposes.

    I used this pencil with my iPad Pro in a month long trial with lots of documents. When I bought the pencil I thought it was likely just a high priced accessory that I would never use. I was so wrong. Use it to take notes, to select items, start videos -- I would not have been as pleased with my IPad Pro without a pencil. Works so much better than fingertips for a touch screen!

    I am a beginner to the iPad Pro & Apple Pencil but so far I can say these two are a match made in heaven. The Apple Pencil is easy to connect via bluetooth and is even easier to use! I love that you don't need to carry around a charger for it - simply attach to the side of your iPad via the magnets and it will charge for you. Highly recommend the Apple Pencil 2nd Gen.

    I love my Apple Pencil, makes taking notes so much more convenient and works better than a stylus ever could for an iPad. Comfortable to use and bonus points it doesn’t require a charger just charges right on top of the iPad.

    The pencil works beautifully just as advertised. There are other stylus’ that some people prefer and each have their specific focus but the design and feel of this along with the way it charges makes to be my personal favorite. I personally bought a certified refurbished and had zero issues - seemed brand new to me.

    This pencil works flawlessly with my iPad. The pressure sensitivity and tilt responsiveness are fantastic, and it feels just like writing with a real pen. Battery life is great, and magnetic charging is super convenient. Easily worth the upgrade if you draw or take notes regularly.

    To start off I love this accessory! Which is a relief since my iPad Air (2020) was built around this accessory. The accuracy is amazing with this and everything about using is really good at translating your movements to be incredibly lifelike in its ways of simulating a pencil. The only gripe I have coming over from a Microsoft surface is not using the blunt end of the pencil as an eraser. It was so natural to do and I miss that functionality dearly. Double tapping the side just is not as intuitive as just flipping the pencil.
