    It’s terrible that Apple didn’t include this with the iPad Pros. The amount of $$ to spend in order to get the ultimate setup is definitely high end laptop pricing. But you get what you pay for. The biggest feature in addition to superb writing experience is the convenience of storage via magnetic bonding to the iPad that also charges the pencil. Very well done.

    overall a nice product. Decent battery life and easy to use. Though it feels like ti should have come with the iPad and not been a seperate purchase.

    Works great and looks like it is brand new. I have used this for about 4 months now. I bought it, picked it up the same day, magnetized it to the iPad and have had no problems whatsoever. It has worked perfectly.

    This is my first Apple Pencil and I love it. I like being able to scroll on Numbers app on my IPad Pro. The one feature missing is being able to swipe up to open/close and the short view on the right side of the screen. The battery life is great and easy to connect. It is very durable because I have banged this pencil on my desk and no problem with functionality.

    Love the fact that this pencil charges by simply attaching to the IPad Pro. It is helpful when taking notes during my college classes, especially when I forget to charge my keypad!

    I use the pen on my Ipad using sidecar on my MacBook Pro. I use it mostly on Photoshop and it works great! A word of advice... I had a clear shield on my 12.9" Ipad and the pen wasn't reading well when drawing lines or using an eraser working on a very magnified picture. It seems like it had a reading lag and it was making all my lines wavy. I took the shield off and it works perfectly.

    I love that this new pencil (I had the old one with my last iPad) attaches and charges magnetically, that there are no ports, that it has a gesture to switch drawing tools, that you can now write into any field, etc. My only complaint would be the price. It's very impressive tech and well built, but it still feels like something that should be ~$60 not ~$120.

    The Apple Pencil is wonderful. It integrates itself seamlessly into iPad apps and my work flow. I purchased it with the main purpose of using it with the music app Forscore. When I pick up the pencil and touch it to the screen the app recognizes that I want to make an edit and it switches to edit mode. I love double tapping on the side of the pencil to switch the function from pen to eraser.

    I am obsessed with this pencil. It is the perfect companion to the iPad and I recommend it to every person who has a compatible iPad. I use it far more than i thought i would and i absolutely love taking notes with it. I also recommend buying the Paperlike screen protector for notes as well. The only thing that would make this even better would be if it worked with iPhone.

    Love this! So nice when taking notes for University! I also love how it charges on the side of the ipad. I never have any trouble with the pen running out of battery. My biggest concern was that the pen would deplete the ipad battery, but the battery life on my ipad is so long I don’t see a difference.

    I love how this is magnetically charged by the iPad itself and sets comfortably on the side of the iPad without annoying me. I am somebody who enjoys taking notes and I’ve even explored using the stylus in other art programs and it has made learning and practicing trying super fun easy and similar to pen and paper. Also great one editing photos!
