    This pencil is very easy to use due to the Apple auto connect. The ergonomics also feel amazing. The price would be the only con for me, I wonder what the profit is that Apple makes on this.

    The Apple Pencil is the smartest thing invented. It is very compatible and realizable when it comes to taking notes or drawing for fun. I would recommend this product 10/10.

    Better than  Pencil (1st Gen) in all facets!

    I purchased the new iPad Pro 11" after doing very little research on it. Due to it having the upgraded A12X chip as well as including "Face ID", I was purchasing it regardless therefor I didnt realize I could not use my 1st gen  Pencil on the new iPad Pro. I honestly was bummed out because after finally bitting the bullet and purchasing the 1st gen  Pencil, I knew right then that I would never use a iPad again without it. Keep in mind that I am by no means a artist or remotely artistic in the least bit, and honestly cant even draw a decent stick man. I solely use the 1st gen  pencil as a basic stylus and writing utensil for taking notes, but I LOVE it and cant go without using it now. Well with all of that being said, I immediately went back up to best buy and purchased the new 2nd gen  pencil, and I honestly couldnt be happier with its improved performance, as well as the other substantial changes made to it as well. When I was using the 1st gen  Pencil, I would only charge it with the iPad tucked away somewhere safe and when the condition(s) were guaranteed that no one would get near it because I was so afraid of the lightning charge port getting snapped off inside of the iPad. The reason I bring that up is because the addition of wireless charging in the 2nd gen  Pencil is a game changer, and it made me fall in love with the Pencil even more than I thought I could, prior to owning this new one. Another small improvement I thoroughly enjoy is the new "Matte" look and feel, which considerably cuts down on the original  Pencils "Slickness" feel. One last tiny thing I love with the new  Pencil is not having the back cap that has to be kept up with and prob 90% or more people eventually lost. All in all, if your looking at purchasing the new  Pencil stop hesitating, and just do it..... You wont be disappointed. -John Posey

    Way better than last version. It’s so easy to attach to iPad with the magnet. Easy to write with and a little delay if you use a glass screen protector but still works great.

    Definite improvement over the previous model. One flat side keeps it from rolling away, but the cool magnet keeps it attached to the side of the ipad and charges too.

    I bought this with my new iPad Air 4th Generation and unsure if I was ever going to use it. $125 seem a lot for what is but I downloaded a few writing apps such Goodnotes and it became really useful. I take notes for all my work meetings with it and the notes are easy to organize and stored on the iCloud, which makes them retrievable on your computer and apple devices. It is nice going paperless. You also get PDFs and sign them with your real signature without having to print and scan. It saves you some cost in paper, printer ink and time. I definitely recommend the Apple Pencil.

    This is my first Apple Pencil and this is awesome. As a visual artist this is a game changer. I have usually done my prep work on a desktop but along with the Apple Pencil Pro I purchased the new 13” iPad Pro so the combination is an artist’s dream.

    So I’ve used tablets like Wacom Bamboo. The cost of a Wacom cintiq pro is just so high! Getting a iPad Pro and pencil is just cheaper in comparison. And more compatable. Without fumbling with drivers. But if your not into the artistry of what the pencil is for. Don’t get it. If your more into apps that use finger touch. You don’t need the pencil. Beat making apps come to mind.

    The iPad isn’t the same without the pencil , with the new design it is easier then ever to charge and store it . I would recommend for art purposes or business I use it like a note pad for quotes

    The apple pencil is a must-have for your iPad pro if you are a student. Works great, and the new design is much better than the old one. Definitely recommend this.
