    The Apple Pencil 2 is a big improvement. It has been put through its paces with note taking, drawing and e-learning activities including handwriting.

    When a pencil and paper takes longer to get or you need the digitally draw, this helps. It’s more about convenience than the drawing for me, though. I’d like to note I bought it on sale where it was almost half the price and that was my final deciding factor. Regular price though, eh, wait!

    The closest thing to a REAL pen

    This thing is AWESOME. It was my very first Apple pencil, after being a lifetime Android user, and it really does feel better than Samsung's pens. The closer thing to a real pen that I've ever experience. And I absolutely LOVE the double-tap functionality to switch to eraser tool. And even more, I love that you can tap practically ANYWHERE on the pen to activate that feature. Not just on a single spot. Definitely recommended.

    Honestly I thought I really needed this and would use it everyday but I don’t. It’s a great item and does amazing things but for my line of work and use its not needed as much as I thought. That being said my kids use my tablet sometimes for school work and they use the pencil all the time and absolutely love it. I guess I’m old school use the finger and press the keys. Kids on the other hand make it look easy. They use it so much I bought them both one for Christmas presents when they were on sale. They use it ALOT.

    I just got the Apple Pencil and it's a game changer for taking notes and sketching on my iPad. The precision and responsiveness are top-notch, and I love the feel of the pencil on the screen. It's a bit pricey, but in my opinion it's worth it for the added convenience and improved productivity. Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend the Apple Pencil to anyone in need of a high-quality stylus.

    Best accessory for iPad Pro! Must have!

    It is a huge improvement from the 1st generation! The new matte surface provides a much better grip. It has one flat edge that attaches magnetically to the side of iPad Pro for automatic charging and pairing. It also gives the effect that it doesn’t roll off the desk so easily, resembling the feeling of a real pencil which makes it more convenient to hold. The new Pencil is shorter and feels much more balanced when writing. It also features a touch surface that supports double-tapping so you can change tools without setting it down. Given all of the major upgrades, it was made specifically for the 11 and 12.9-inch IPad Pro models only.

    Works amazing with the tablet, it's great because I don't have to worry about charging it, just put it to the side of my iPad, and it fully charged, I use it a lot in my nursing classes I'm talking about 4+ hours of just straight writing never died on me.( Doesn't drain Ipad battery)

    Worthy upgrade to Apple Pencil v1...

    Apple has done away with the clunky way the original Apple Pencil charging method by working magnetically with the newest iPad Pro. I used to worry quite a bit about having the original AP plugged into a lightning port and damaging it in some accident. Having it charge by sticking to the edge of the new iPad Pros means it shouldn't ever be without a full charge or potentially misplaced. The magnet connection is pretty strong. This new format also incorporates a flat edge on the Apple Pencil so it shouldn't roll away if you lay it down on your desk. This new version is a bit shorter compared to the old version; more in tune to a standard size pen or pencil. The other big upgrade to this model is it has more a of a matte finish surface for easier gripping. The original model is pretty glossy and if you should have a bit of hand sweat while working/writing, it became a little awkward maintaining a decent grip. This product would get a full 5 stars had Apple made them backwards compatible with the previous iPad Pros. If you have a v1 or v2 model of the iPad Pro, you must get the original Apple Pencil. If you want the better Pencil, you have to buy the newer iPad Pro. I think that's a bit of money grab BS on Apple's part.

    I’d been using an Apple Pencil with my 10.5” iPad and bought the new one when I upgraded to my new 2018 12.9”. the magnetic attachment is very convenient, but the wireless charging is the best.
