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 have had the Apple Pencil 1, HP Spectre, Microsoft Surface Pro, but the Apple Pencil 2 beats all of them by a mile! I love how easy it is to use and the charge is awesome! Best item for a college student who struggles with writing on pencil paper!

    I never liked taking notes in class till I bought this Apple Pencil. This pencil is so easy to use and I love how it writes. Very flexible to use and it makes drawing and painting easy. I am not a designer but this pencil turned me into one

    Apple Pencil for more control

    Bought the iPad Pro and the pencil at the same time. This pencil give you more control for writing and drawing. There are less expensive ones on the market now that might work as well as the Apple brand so do your research. I did feel that it was overpriced but the Apple quality is there. If I were to buy another one, I would check out the other brands first.

    I have used the 1st generation so I was familiar with how to use it except this one has the double tap feature. I like how I quickly it charges when I place it next to my new 12.9 iPad Pro. No more extra chargers. I feel it's a little overpriced & wouldn't have purchased it had my 1st generation worked with the new iPad. I recommend it.

    I purchased this Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) for my daughter to go with her new iPad Air and Magic Keyboard and she loves it. She uses her iPad instead of her laptop and uses the pencil everyday in Flight School. It is much better than the 1st generation pencil that I have. Great purchase and customer service from Best Buy!

    The old pencil was nice but this one is great! It charges simply by attaching magnetically to the side of the iPad. It pairs instantly and shows charge status on screen when you dock it. It's now a single piece design with no cap to lose and you no longer have this long stick poking out of the lightning port on your iPad when charging. Writing and drawing are instant with very fast latency/responsiveness on screen.

    Works great both for art related projects or just for navigating the iPad screen with out leaving finger prints, if that is what you want. Very easy to use and quick charging. I think this apple pencil is quite worth it, especially if you catch a sale.

    Great Pencil for iPad Pro Users

    Smart device for Apple iPad users. 2nd generation of the Apple Pencil is an amazing device. Apple managed to make a great first-generation product better in every single way. The downsides we listed above are nit-picking because the new Pencil is almost flawless. The experience of using the Apple Pencil with the new iPad and the right software is seamless and delightful.

    I owned the Logitech Crayon previously and used it with the iPad Mini 5 for about two years and I really enjoyed using the combo together. However, recently I decided to upgrade to the iPad Air for more screen real estate and also decided to purchase the Apple Pencil as well. Typically I never buy Apple-branded peripherals, because I think the extra premium cost is not worth it. I still feel that way after owning the Apple Pencil 2. I bought the pencil when it was under a massive deal and that is the only reason why I decided to purchase it. I have had the pencil for a while now and I absolutely love it, the feature that I really like is the ability to charge it by attaching it to the iPad. When I had the crayon I would forget to charge it and I felt like I would run out of power more with the crayon, not the pencil. One of the features that were enabled right out of the box was being able to double-tap the tip of the pencil to pull up the eraser. I was not a fan, because I always felt like I turned it on, but I am sure someone would like that. I really enjoy using this device and I use it a couple hours per day for school.

    Apple 2nd gen Pencil

    The 2nd generation Apple Pencil works great for use with the newer iPads, and it can be stored just by placing it against the iPad, as it held in place by a magnet. The pen is very precision for writing, and doodling. The pencil was easy to set up. Simply putting the pen against the iPad seem to auto configure it for use with the iPad.

    The iPad pencil 2 is a great addition to my iPad Pro. I do a lot of sketches for my work and this pencil makes drawing, erasing and writing a lot easier and more natural. The battery life is very good. This pencil makes my job so much easier, I couldn’t be happier.

    It's so nice to have an Apple Pencil! No more typing needed as how I actually wrote this product review in cursive! I got this as an open box excellent condition. Indeed, it is in excellent working condition and it looks brand new for just $85! It's worth having it especially when you have kids who love to draw anime and sketches!

    The products is pretty good it’s definitely an improvement from the first considering you don’t have to plug it in to charge anymore which was definitely a hazard to the pencil itself. I like how fast the charging is. It writes and draws very smoothly and the quality of it feels top notch. If your an artist or a student just trying to take notes I’d suggest getting the pencil if you already have an iPad to go along with it. It’s definitely a great tool to have!

    The pencil is everything! It charges really fast and it accesses the screen smoothly even with a screen cover. I use it mostly for designing and it is precise. If there is a negative is how to store it with my magic case.

    2nd Generation Pencil is better

    This product together with the iPad Pro is the perfect match. With this 2nd generation pencil, there are a number of great improvements like twice tapping of the pencil to allow you to switch pencil function. Plus I love the way to charge it by magnetic strip on the side of your iPad instead of the previous generation where it uses lightning charging. Kudos to apple to making it more convenient.

    This pencil is a joy to hold and a joy to use. Any artist looking to maximize their use of an iPad Pro must have the product, it’s extremely precise and little no lag with the newest Pro models. The ability to wirelessly charge off the side of the tablet is also a welcome and useful addition, eliminating the cumbersome way of the last generation of pencil. Overall extremely pleased with my purchase.

    Very responsive and accurate while working on small details. I love the new magnetic feature. The Apple Pencil charges while magnetically attached to the iPad instead of connecting through lightning connector.
