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.

    If you own the newer iPad Pro, I would highly recommend purchasing one. It makes the experience of the iPad Pro that much better and feels great when note taking and combined with specific screen protectors to mimic the pencil on paper feel. I really enjoy the simplicity of the pencil attaching magnetically/charging on the side of the iPad.

    Best Buy offers the best price for the Apple Pencil (2nd gen) and has frequent sales on it. This is my second pencil (purchasing it as a gift) and again, Best Buy had the best deal on it! If you're someone who plans to use their iPad to take notes and draw the Apple Pencil is a must!

    Having both apple pencils and this one is way better, in terms of usability and the way it charges. The downside is only applicable to the iPad Pro series and a tad expensive. Overall it is valuable only if you really work with arts, otherwise, don't splash your money. You can spend the money to buy AirPods or other accessories.

    Love the 2nd gen Apple Pencil. Very easy to attach to the side of the iPad, and the battery life is excellent. The double tap feature to switch between pencil and eraser is also great, however sometimes it can be quite sensitive, and switch over to eraser mode when you don’t mean to.

    So much better than the first one when it comes to This version is significantly better than the first one in terms of battery life and doesn’t drain your iPad either. Personally, I prefer the squeeze method more than the old tapping method to access more options and use the device. However, I wish there were more functionalities available when using it on note-taking apps.

    Apple’s pencil is unbeatable. It works like butter when doing digital art or for note taking. Love that it attaches to the iPad itself and charges/stays charged when not in use. Such a helpful tool!

    This Apple Pencil 2nd gen is a remarkable tool that elevates the iPad experience to new heights. Its sleek design, seamless connectivity, and impressive responsiveness make it a must-have accessory for artists, designers, and note-takers alike. The magnetic attachment and wireless charging feature add convenience, while the double-tap gesture for switching tools enhances productivity. Although it comes with a premium price tag, its performance and integration with iPadOS make it worth the investment for those seeking precision and fluidity in their digital workflows.

    Literally Made for IPad Pro

    This stylus (cause that’s what it is) is so versatile. The charging mechanism is reliable and practical. This function also doubles as the synchronization process. Very responsive. You may not notice a difference in the lag time between this and the 1st gen Apple Pencil, but if you’re looking for it (like me) or you’re an artist, it makes a difference. The natural glass of the iPad Pro is slick so that takes some getting used to for writing, but not necessarily for any other pencil functions. May want to try a screen protector with some resistance to feel more control (I.e. Paperlike). Never worry about life for my uses but in case that’s something you’re paying a attention to, I can get through a day’s use of taking notes, creating and marking documents, coloring, scrolling through different apps and using this more like a stylus with about 50% life left between 8:30 am and 1am. All in all this is a great addition and a practical tool. I recommend it 100%. Also, if you’re so inclined, go for the excellent grade open box if you wanna save about $20. No significant difference other than no plastic. No extra tip(s) comes with this version.

    Love this product, making writing on the iPad seamlessly. It's very precise and accurate. I recommend buying a tablet case that can hold the pen bc it can get in the way when holding your iPad. Battery life is almost never an issue, I've dropped it plenty of times no wear or tear.

    Man oh man the newer one compliments the iPad Pro exceptionally. My business requires me to write a lot of dimensions and options while on the move with clients. Having the pencil lets me sketch out a venue’s layout on the go and add dimensions, shorthand, etc. without having to lug around a legal pad or a spiral.

    This is a wonderful electronic pencil. Once again Apple is knocked it out of the park with not only design and but with its seamless integration. The best part about this I think is the fact that you never have to remember to charge it once you stick it to the side of the iPad with magnets it’s already charging.
