    Such a nice step up from 1st generation. Love that it charges just by sticking to the side of the iPad, no more having to plug it in.

    This is a really nice product that I really love. I use this took take notes for college and I use it on a 12.9 inch iPad Pro. It is really easy to use and it has good integration with ios 14 and a lot of apps on iPad os 14 use the apple pencil. I would defiantly buy this product.

    Apple Pencil makes the iPad:) I do a lot of note taking for business and the pencil makes that so much easier and faster than trying to use the built in keyboard on the ipad. I think its a must have if you are going to have an ipad.

    Wireless charging makes this device 100% more practicar than the original one, also having a touch button makes logic as one can now have a shortcut to an eraser in drawing apps. Just hope this had a bit more battery life but the charging time is short and in less than 10 minutes the pencil will have a full change.

    This is a great addition to any iPad that supports it. The pressure sensitivity translates well into hand art and the magnetic attachment makes it even more user friendly

    Simply love this thing. I know, not everyone especially those who are Apple fanatics don’t feel or believe in these devices, however I do use it quite often as I can do quick sketches or drawings for my work. Love it, battery life is pretty darn decent and very quick to recharge.

    I have both an Apple Air ipad and a Samsung S8+. The pens work in the same manner but I haven't gotten into the fine details. Will say I like the Samsung better because it feels much better and is very light. The Apple works well but the extra weight does make the difference. For an Apple product though, good product. Very pricey, try to find it on sale.

    Must-Have Accessory

    As an artist, the Apple Pencil delivers exactly what I need it to. The hand feel is just about the same as any pencil. It has a good weight to it, and the pressure sensitivity is a close rival to the grip pen I use on my pen display. Whether you are drawing or using it for annotations, this is a great tool to have.

    This is actually the second Apple Pencil 2 that I've purchased. The feel of the device on the ipad is quite good (though I'd recommend one of those screen protectors that has a bit of friction to get that close to paper feel). I wish they had an eraser end and the double tap feature is kind of annoying to use. The issue is that my previous pencil just stopped connecting to the ipad, not sure what happened and you can't even try to repair it. But once it works, it one of the best writing experiences I've had on an iPad.

    if you are using the ipad pro you would want to purchase the apple pencil to fully utilize the full capabilities of the device. initially I thought I wouldn't be using it much but I find myself jotting notes, drawing sketches and a bunch of other stuff. learning to do some digital artwork and coloring.
