Overall the pencil is great. My experience  I had to pay more than what it was worth really because of a mistake from one of the store workers. when I got home the  Apple Pencil didn't work on my brand new iPad Pro 2024 and I realized it wasn't the new Apple Pencil pencil Pro so I wasn't compatible with my brand new iPad. So I had to drive 40 minutes back to the store to return it and get it replaced yeah gas isn't cheap. So on that note make sure the pencil is the right one for your ipad they do look alike so DOUbLE check hopefully this review saves at least one person from haveing customer service issue , but the lady made a simple mistake and was nice and didnt mean it . Im not trying to get anyone in no trouble its cool, and btw the pencil pro is amazing and u should buy extra tips incase you drop the pencil and it lands on its tip lol the pencil wasnt damaged just the tip was so lucky me had to make another trip just to get some tips lol i recommend them the first time u buy bc the pack comes with 4 mistakes lol fixers ... all in all problem was me i shoulda checked the pencil at the counter even tho its behind the counter ... and yeah i shouldnt have dropped pencil on the ground directly on the tip to dent it (whats the odds?) lol but pencil is fine just needed tips and i shoulda been a salesman for the tips bc i wouldnt sell one pencil pro with the investment of the tips , probalbly last years with 4 tips plus the one it comes with , i dk i just bought it and im good now on my 2nd tip im more careful. Still 5 stars ... - customer service but was nice + and my -drop but bought tips fix + =5*

This pencil is not cheap in price but it does work like magic on the iPads. Very lightweight and easy to pair and charge up.
There's some good apps out there that let you write up some notes or do some digital sketching on your iPad.

A marvelous light beast. For Daily tasks, this is an easy choice. It can edit, record and suprisingly, even game some. This laptop is a light beast for productivity. You can edit 4k raw footage on a macair. That’s crazy. For something like in its size and it’s all because of the M2 Chip. Battery life is amazing. I can go a whole day (12 hours) and the battery will only be half drained with 56% remaining. Apple silicon is so good and has the potential to beat out most rival manufacturers. Gaming wise, I as able to play subnuatica in 1440p resolution on a MACAIR! That’s on custom settings and at lower graphic settings, but the fact it can run subnautica is downright impressive for its slim size. I bet once more games are optimized for mac when Sonoma OS comes. We will see more games come to mac. Which will be great.

I was not sure how much I would actually use this pen but I am glad that I purchased it. It has become my favorite accessory for my iPad Pro and I use daily. I do wish that apple would incorporate a eraser for the opposite end, but maybe in a future iteration.

The Apple Pencil is widely praised for its precision and ease of use, especially among artists, designers, and students. The second-generation model is particularly favored for its improved charging method and ergonomic design. Both versions offer a smooth and intuitive experience, but some users note the first-generation model’s charging method as a downside. Overall, the Apple Pencil enhances productivity and creativity for compatible iPad users.

Does what it’s supposed to. Feels good in your hand. Charges when it’s connected to iPad (magnetically). Don’t really have to worry about it ever dying because it doesn’t drain very fast.

Amazing! I am so glad I got the 2nd generation because of the magnetic charging which is so convenient and it just sticks to your ipad so easily. The grip is nice, the only downside is that you have to switch out the tip and it’s kind of pricey if you buy the apple one.

The Apple Pencil has worked so well for me. I have had it for about 8 months. In that time I lost it and found it in the parking lot at my work. It had rained for a few days and possibly was stepped on or run over by a car. It has cracks on the whole body. HOWEVER it still works perfectly fine! It charges well and the battery lasts for about the whole day while I’ve been using it consistently. I have an Apple Pencil cover I use and I can’t even tell it’s cracked. So even after the rain and being stepped on, it is still in great working condition.

Big upgrade from gen 1 pencil which is a good device. This totally wireless system that magnetically attaches to ipad pro is the stuff! Takes ipad to the next level. Gen 1 did the job but the cord and little 2 sided connector was not the most convenient and it rolled too easy on a flat surface. 2nd gen has the flat side to fix that prob. My only gripe is the sharp edges from the flat side can dig into my finger with extended use. Have to adjust grip

Very responsive. Feels like a normal pencil. The first version was to long and worst charging way. Now it magnified to the side for the iPad and charges. If u want to draw, sketch or write on ur iPad pick the Apple Pencil 2 up!
