Extremely worth it. I got this one for my little sister who loves to draw since she’s wanted one since I got mine. I got mine for my notes and it’s worth it. i also really like that it can charge on the side of the ipad, so much better. I’ve had mine for over a year and it still works as good as it has since i’ve gotten it.

AMAZING!! If you have an iPad and are using it for graphic design, schooling, ANYTHING! You need to pair it with the Apple Pencil. It has amazing battery life and functionality. I love how easy it is to pair to the iPad and the convenience of being able to charge it right on the iPad so I don’t have any extra cords laying around.

My Apple Pencil is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made! It is perfect for my work and my daughter always uses it to do her notes. Plus with this pencil and my IPad I don’t not need paper so less waste. This pencil charges super fast and has long battery. I 10/10 recommend!!

I absolutely love my Apple pencil it makes using the iPad first all sorts of tasks so much easier. What I like even more about it is that it magnets to the side of it so it keeps it charged and ready to use unlike other knockoff brand pens. Best buy even refunded me the amount because it went on sale and they honored the difference after a few days of purchasing.

Easy to use and fun! Love using it to help draw on my iPad or edit things for photography. You have to learn how to set the settings for drawing because you can change your brushes just by simply tapping the pen!

The Apple Pencil is one of those accessories that you can utilize for simple tasks such as typing or scrolling allowing you to keep finger prints off your screen. But it comes alive when it’s time to draw! I’m no artist nor have I been one to sit around and draw. That has changed every since I picked up the Apple Pencil. It’s entertained me for hours on end sitting around drawing stuff just because it’s fun using the Apple Pencil with the iPad Pro. I mainly got it out of curiosity and having plenty of Best Buy points. I made the purchase for a small amount of $14.28. With that said, would I pay full retail of $129.00? I probably would as I’ve found myself using it everyday several times throughout the day. Be sure to stop by Best Buy when you decide to pick one up yourself!

1 tool to rule them all

From notes to beautiful art, Apple Pencil can be every tool you need.
It lasts hours and hours on a charge, magnetically attaches (solid hold), built light and balanced.
Apple Pencil 2 is a nice upgrade from the 1st gen. Immediately I noticed the feel. It has a soft texture matte white body that feels more pleasant than the 1st gen. Also, the 1st gen was a bit back-heavy so the pencil would actually tip over my hand. This one is shorter, balanced, and has a flat edge for better grip.
If you know what you want to use it for, get it.
I’m sure you’ll enjoy it too.

I’m so glad that I purchased this Apple Pencil 2nd gen. It’s my fav accessory for my iPad. It is so easy to create beautiful artwork with this Pencil.
The grip is nice. The thickness of the Pencil is just right. I don’t even feel that it needs a cover. It’s so easy to work with this Pencil. I wish Apple has added an eraser as well on this Pencil and that would have made it beyond perfect.
Overall this Pencil is a must have if you have iPad Pro and you love to create artwork.

Im not a very smart woman by any means, but what I will say is, when I show up to meetings with my iPad and my APPLE PENCIL, I look like I know a thing or two. This magnetically sticks to my iPad, so I almost have to go out of my way to misplace the thing, it's got technology to use the pen while not picking up the palm of my hand. It blows my mind. IDK how they do it, nor do I care to know, but I like it. It charges while on the iPad, so that is a plus since the last one I had needed to be plugged in and ultimately led to the demise of that pen -_-, but I've moved on with my life. Anyway. Apple, keep doing what you're doing and if you're looking for an "influencer" 35-year-old mother with 4 children, a husband a dog and a kick smash fun reviewer in lieu of free apple products, CALL ME, LIKE YESTERDAY! They say you make 0% of the shots you don't take, IM TAKING MY SHOT!

It’s working perfectly for my iPad art! I also use it for Design Doodler, a program for turning art into stitches for an embroidery machine. My iPad case has a place to put the Apple Pencil and it charges automatically in the case.

This would be my second Apple Pencil 2nd gen. I loved the first generation of Apple Pencil, but this one is much easier to handle the charging and it feels a lot nicer to hold. I love it for notes and for artwork!

Love, love, LOVE my Apple Pencil! As a creative designer, I use it daily for my graphic designs (using ProCreate, Canva and Photoshop). It also works well for note taking, client updates and completing PDF forms without having to print.

The Apple Pencil is pretty awesome. I had the Gen 1 and I liked it a lot. Then I got my 12 inch iPad Pro, I had to have an Apple Pencil. I got the Gen 2 and I like. It changes on top of the iPad. It changes fast. Worth it. I use Good Notes take notes and it works well with the Apple Pencil. You can use it on the Notes app. Totally worth it.

If you’re on the fence- just do it. I can’t believe this is my first time trying an Apple Pencil but it’s amazing. So good for editing or creating. Expensive but i don’t regret my purchase one bit

I love my Apple Pencil. This is my second one and I bout it open box excellent condition. It has been just that. I do a lot of note taking, planning, and coloring on my iPad. My 3 year old broke my last one so I figured it was best to buy it used for half the price of new. Amazon also have alternative tips for the pencil if you want to change the tip out and that has been amazing for me. I truly enjoy my tech and Best Buy is typically number one for my tech purchases! I know my products used or new will be outstanding!
