Taking a little extra care and ensuring a secure grip will help protect the longevity of the pencil and preserve the authentic pencil-like writing feel. In my case, the Apple Pencil 2nd Generation has become an indispensable tool for my note-taking needs, particularly when using my iPad.

    love that you don’t have to plug it in like the first generation apple pencil — a lot more convenient that it can charge magnetically when stored away i don’t have to think about charging it and worry about the battery my only issue is that i feel the nib sometimes fills down too quick but that might be a personal user error because i do write with a lot of pressure overall it’s solid, i use it a lot of drawing and illustrations for design

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Having owned the original iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, I respect the changes that Apple has made to the original design. The new matte design of the pencil feels durable and comfortable enough that I don’t feel like using any additional grip with it. The battery holds a substantial charge and is easily docked next to the iPad thanks to its magnetic nature/charging method. The double tap feature allows the artist to switch between pen and eraser very easily. It doesn’t feel perfect yet. I’d prefer a thinner nib on the tool and sometimes the pencil seems to register wider strokes than I wanted, or thinner strokes. It’s a bit fickle that way.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Apple Pencil 2 has been a game-changer for my digital workflow since I added it to my arsenal last month. Its reliability stands out as a testament to Apple’s commitment to seamless integration and user experience. First and foremost, the connection with my iPad Pro is flawless. With a simple magnetic attachment and automatic pairing, I can start using the Apple Pencil 2 within seconds of picking it up. This convenience eliminates any frustration or delay, allowing me to dive straight into my creative projects or note-taking without interruption. The responsiveness of the Apple Pencil 2 is unparalleled. Whether I’m sketching intricate designs or jotting down quick notes, the precision and accuracy of the stylus never fail to impress. The pressure sensitivity and tilt functionality add depth to my artwork, providing a level of control that rivals traditional drawing tools. Furthermore, the battery life of the Apple Pencil 2 is exceptional. A quick charge via the magnetic connector ensures that I never have to worry about running out of power in the middle of a project. Plus, the intuitive double-tap feature allows for quick access to tools and functions, enhancing efficiency and productivity. In terms of design, the Apple Pencil 2 is sleek and ergonomic. Its seamless construction and matte finish feel comfortable in hand, making long drawing sessions or note-taking a breeze. The absence of a charging port, thanks to the magnetic attachment, adds to the overall aesthetic appeal and simplicity of the device. One minor drawback is the lack of compatibility with older iPad models. While understandable due to technological advancements, it may limit the accessibility of the Apple Pencil 2 for some users who are not ready to upgrade their devices. Overall, the Apple Pencil 2 has exceeded my expectations in terms of reliability and performance. Its seamless integration, responsiveness, and ergonomic design make it an indispensable tool for digital artists, note-takers, and professionals alike. If you’re in the market for a stylus that delivers on its promises, look no further than the Apple Pencil 2.

    I have an Ipad Pro and thought this would be an upgrade to the Generic Pencil I bought a few years back. Thoughts: I like that it fits into my Zugu Ipad Case to charge without any cords. Battery seems to last for ever this way. I am just learning the programs I am using it with, ProCreate and Canva so its hard to give an honest review about the way it works. I'm not sure if its the programs that seem confusing or the actual pen software. I can however use it by just writing words into a spot and it automatically changes it to text. Kind of magical, but remember, I am still new at this feature. If I compare it to my other knockoff pencil, I don't see a big difference, except in price & the charging aspect. Hope I get the knack to using it as it was meant to be used soon!

    Love my Apple Pencil! It works great with my IPad Pro. Anyone wanting to use graphic/vector apps on your iPad needs the Apple Pencil. Apples’ a quality is suburb! This is my second Apple Pencil as I ran over the 1st one with the car! Even cracked it lasted another 6-8 months before it finally gave out! I’ve tried others but nothing worked as flawlessly as the Apple Pencil! I can’t imagine being without it again! I love that it allows you to write instead of typing in search bars! Charges quickly and holds a charge for hours of use!

    Pretty much out of the box and right to use. Magnetically attaches to iPad and charges when attached. Just make sure sure the tip is screwed on tightly. If it comes slightly loose you will notice the pencil becomes not responsive. Just tighten it and all is back to normal.

    Never realized how much easier it was to be productive on an IPAD until I tried out the Apple Pencil. The 2nd Generation is a breeze to integrate with my iPad Pro. I like how easy it is to charge by attaching to the top with the magnet. Only issue is I’m afraid I might lose it and the standard Apple keyboard case doesn’t have a better holder. I use the pencil for almost everything...browsing the web, shopping, playing games like crosswords or puzzle games is an awesome experience...even using music apps like “djay” work great with the pencil. This doesn’t include the traditional uses of the pencil such as drawing and taking notes. Only thing I would like to see at some point is automatic text-recognition. Right now I had to purchase “Notability” app to do this and use some clunky workaround, but it would be awesome if the writing could automatically convert to digital text. Highly recommended accessory though a little pricey...I could definitely see everyone at School and University with an IPAD and pencil in a few years.

    I have the original Apple Pencil and enjoyed the feel of it in my hand, it’s perfect weight, and the smoothness of its tip when writing on the iPad screen. I did not think I would like the feel of the new Apple Pencil with the flat side. I was wrong - I quite enjoy the perfection of this writing instrument and have just about forgotten what the old Apple Pencil feels like. The integration of this latest Apple Pencil is very convenient and the ability to set it on top of the iPad and have it 100% charged at all times is highly useful. There were several times when i went to use my previous Apple Pencil and the batter was either dead or dying because I did not plug it in to charge. I haven’t quite mastered the double-tap on the pencil feature, but it is a nice thing to have when you want to change pen types, colors, or whatever you decide to program the double-tap to do. Highly recommend this writing instrument.

    The Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) is a big deal for artists like me. It feels so natural and works super well for creating digital art. It's cool because it can sense how hard I'm pressing and the angle I'm holding it, just like real art tools. Charging is easy with magnets, so no worries about running out of battery. It has this nifty double-tap thing that helps me switch tools faster. Though it costs a bit, it's totally worth it for artists who want to make awesome art on their iPad. I love it and recommend it to other artists too!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Apple addressed quite a few of the flaws from the 1st gen with this product. The 2nd gen is so much more like a real pencil. When drawing or writing, It is way more precise and the response rate from pencil to iPad is much faster. I also appreciate the matte finish & flat side which makes it easier to hold and less likely to drop/roll off the table. My favorite part is the wireless charging and that it attaches To the iPad magnetically. I always disliked not being able to track my pencil or the fear of losing the little charging attachment, but those issus are no more. The only con is Apple didnt do anything with the other end of the pencil. I was hoping for an option to flip the pencil to erase like the real thing. The double tap feature for eraser is too sensitive and switches mid-draw without me wanting it to sometimes. It isn’t a deal-breaker though.

I like to use mine for photography and touching up pictures. Extremely nice accessory to have for the iPad Pro.
