    IT DOES NOT LIE: The new Apple Pencil makes note-taking, writing, and drawing better than ever. It magnetically attaches to iPad Pro, charges wirelessly, and lets you change tools with a simple double tap. I thought the first gen was untouchable, Apple surpassed that!

    Awesome pen. I love that it charges using the iPad. The magnetic attachment is cool too. I wish there were a few more options but that is more so apple related. It’s no s pen but it helps a lot with the iPad functionality.

    I got this to draw but find myself using it just to use my iPad. It's convenient, works so well, and I love that charges off the iPad. It was also awesome it just connected itself to my iPad after attaching it to charge. So easy. It also charges super fast!

    LOVE MY APPLE PENCIL!! CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT IT!

    I LOVE the Apple Pencil. Could not live without it. It is permanently on the top of my iPad. It gives me a definite advantage when I play games such Boggle or PopWords. It is invaluable for any kind of detail work I do on my iPad such as editing photos & videos. It is equally valuable for writing notes or my signature in my own handwriting or to write comments or to highlight any document I may need to send to friends, family or clients. HOWEVER, I am always losing my pencil! Over Thanksgiving, I lost another one while visiting NYC & I just about lost my mind! The minute I returned to So Cal, I ordered a new pencil from Best Buy and it arrived the very next day. As soon as I received it, I was happy as a clam! My only complaint is I wish we could also use the pencil on our iPhones!

    Good weight, but not too heavy. Accurate with writing and drawing. Very little lag with my iPad Air 4th gen, but I'm sure it will be even better with an iPad Air 5th gen or iPad Pro.

    I love this pen! It makes taking notes much faster than the touch keyboard. I didn’t expect the pencil to be so accurate when taking notes but it really is. I can’t imagine my life anymore without this pencil.

    It’s great! I tried a different one that was much cheaper and that was just a waste of money! I also have a Gen 1 and I wished it would work but I don’t regret this purchase the wireless charging is the best!!

    I use this 75% of the time with my iPad. I’m not an artist so i use it as a point and drag/open app etc but when you used as a pen it works perfectly and friends of mine who are artists say it’s fantastic for their purposes. Full marks!

    I was originally a little skeptical about this as I wasnt sure how well it would work. I was very suprised that the pen is recognized even through a screen protector. The pen writes smoothly with zero lag and is highly accurate with touch.

    I am used to the bamboo pen for my laptop. The bamboo has a button, the apple second gen does not. It does, however, have a double tap feature, I am getting used to that (almost like the buttons). The pen battery life seems to last me all day, and charge fairly quickly as well. The new 2nd gen goes with the newest iPad pro and is magnetic to the side. writes great and feels comfortable. I would give it a 5, but I wish there was another button meant strictly for erasing.

    This works as a good stylus. I use it with illustration software and it serves my needs. It is not a complete replacement for something like a Wacom drawing tablet, but is great for drawing mobile with the iPad.

    The Apple Pencil 2 is very nice. It's very smooth to draw and the pressure sensitivity is fantastic. It is effortless to draw with it. It can charge magnetically on my iPad Pro 2020. It is very comfortable to hold. Highly recommended.
