Customer Ratings & Reviews

Writes great charges fast. Very accurate and holds charge well.

Flawless connection and functions better than your finger! Connects to the top of my IPad Pro and is always ready to use and fully charged. If you do any drawing, note taking or just doodling because you’re bored, it’s a great pencil, best part about it, never needs sharpening!

*Disclaimer This does NOT work on apples. First I tried on a McIntosh, because I mean c'mon, it's a given! When that failed I thought maybe it was lacking something so I hit it with Pazazz, but that fell flat like Granny Smith in her Gravenstein. I even saw a Pink Lady in the Gala but still it failed. After all that disappointment I gave up and have just been using it on my iPad. And yeah, sure, it's like better than any stylus or tablet pen I've ever used with like a bajillion levels of sensitivity and touch sensors. The weight is great, it's comfortable to use for long periods and it charges wirelessly. Like DOPE!!. but still.. I was really hoping to write an ode to Newton on his native fruit.

Writes very good on the newer iPads. Much better design than the original Apple Pencil. Charges wirelessly and magnetically attached to the iPad. One flat side so it does not roll as easily. I am so glad they did away with the lightning charging in the iPad port that the original pencil had. I like the feature where you can double tap and change your tools. Makes it a bit more convenient to use. I also like the Matt white. They should make it in Matt black too though. I also wish there were a few more flat sides so it rolled even less. Overall, a big improvement though!

I’m still trying to reconcile the higher price. I actually do use it more than the previous version because of the ease of charging and the elegant magnetic connection to the iPad, but come on! This seems like a money grab to me. Functionality is fine, but not noticeably better than the earlier version. Why am I paying more for a fix that should not have been necessary in the first place??!! I mean, could there have been a more ridiculous (and un-Apple-like) charging setup than sticking this thing into the iPad at a right angle? No, I don’t think so. Still, it’s a great accessory - just one we shouldn’t have to pay a premium for, given it’s clunky predecessor.

This is the best stylist ever. It works well on my iPad and I love it. It is very precise. It works well when it is linked to my MacBook Pro as well. I’m buying another one.

Very accurate and easy to use. Love how it charges and magnetizes to iPad.!

I’ve wanted to use the pencil since Gen 1 but waited until there was no need to awkwardly plug it into a USB-C port to charge it. Happy I waited for Gen 2. Feels great to use and is a nice addition to a compatible iPad.

This pen is in fact....ALL THAT! So much more than a stylus there is really no comparison. Very responsive and allows for sketching.....I never knew it, but I can literally draw! Can't wait to take a tutorial. Apple has so many classes! The battery life is excellent too! Reprogramming myself not to use my finger.....I hate smudges. Pricey but worth it!

If you are a creator then you need this pen. From editing photos in Lightroom or Photo Shop. You can edit videos more precisely and also draw in apps like Pro Create . The iPad is good alone but if your into photo editing like I am , I rely on the Apple Pencil every time . If you draw , or edit photos or videos this is the pen to buy

I really like this Apple Pencil, I think you should buy it or buy it as a perfect complement for your iPad!

This pencil is an excellent addition to the ipad. Very accurate and good quality feel.

Using Apple Pencil second generation with iPad Pro 11 inch. This pencil is a huge improvement over the first generation. I like to get it charges in the case with the iPad, or just by sitting next to it. I appreciate being able to double tap in order to switch from writing to erasing (can be set to last tool used or color palette), but this can still be improved by Apple. I’ve also used the Surface Pro with pen and love how it works like a real pencil when you flip from the writing tip to the other end of the pencil to erase (think of a regular wooden pencil from elementary school or just a regular pencil—one end writes, other end erases). Now, if Apple allowed for that and still kept the double tap, maybe included a triple tap, as well, then one could easily switch between writing, erasing, using the last tool, AND color palette). I wish I could use my Surface pen with my iPad, but this 2nd gen pencil is still better than the first. I look forward to the day when Apple is not so stingy with what their products can do. Don’t get me wrong, I love Apple products, but I am not afraid to see what others are offering, allowing me to see what possibilities are out there. I think Apple is still counting on many of us to continue grandfather-ing from one Apple product to another, but even I can see Apple is not really evolving/incorporating the best of what’s out there. For what this Apple Pencil 2nd gen is supposed to do, write and erase and access palette, it does that. The pencil does not use the double tap in some of the store apps, like drawing, but the pen works with some of the Apple apps. The pencil is quick and easy to use; it is still ridiculously overpriced, and has the potential to do so much more (perhaps switch between pencil/pen/paintbrush; slide finger up/down pencil to change writing width or change colors or move from lighter to darker shades of color being used, ...). So much potential. Overall, the Apple Pencil serves the basic purposes mentioned above. The service I received at Best Buy from Tybris was wonderful. He answered my questions, provided options, and rang me up. Give that guy a raise, an iPad, and an Apple Pencil. I tried to upload a photo of the pencil but apparently the “file is too big”. So enjoy the review and be sadface there ain’t no picture to accompany.

Lasts me for a year now and might have to replace the tip of the pencil. Connection lags at times but, not daily.

Bought the pencil in physical store. It was quick and no issue with the transaction. The pencil itself was easy to pair with iPad and easy to charge. Easy to get use to using it to do drawings on iPad too.

I had the 1st gen pencil, this one is nicer. Charge and attach on the side of an iPad magnetically is great. It works great with the iPad os scribble feature. Love the tap to change the tip feature when drawing.

The Apple Pencil works smoothly and pairs instantly with my iPad. It feels natural when writing or drawing, and the pressure sensitivity is excellent. Battery life lasts long and charges quickly. Definitely a must-have for creatives and note-takers!

This pen is the best pen, it allows you to write verses typing. I am old school and like to use pen and paper, it feels like I am writing notes. You can also draw with the pen. I absolutely love it. Great tool to have with your ipad.

This Apple Pencil is really well designed. First is the very strong magnet that allows your pencil to sit atop your IPAD. Easy to use for any sized hands and is very responsive given its application. One thing to watch out for is that the tip needs to be all the way screwed in to the pencil itself or it will not work .

I recommend it. It's helping me a lot. Excellent!!
