Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Apple Pencil 2 is a remarkable accessory that elevates the iPad experience to a whole new level. Its seamless design and magnetic charging make it incredibly convenient to use. The precision and responsiveness of the Pencil make it a joy to create art, take notes, or annotate documents. The double-tap feature for quick tool switching is a useful addition, and the tilt and pressure sensitivity enhance the drawing experience. The only drawback is its relatively high price, but for those who frequently use their iPads for creative purposes, the Apple Pencil 2 is an excellent investment.

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.

I purchased the second generation Apple Pencil along with the iPad for my niece. I hesitated between several smart pencils when doing the preliminary shopping, but I am SO glad I chose the Apple Pencil. Not only is it lightweight and comfortable to use, but it is a game changer for artists while using apps like ProCreate. It is amazing to see how technology has changed the way the world makes art, and this Apple Pencil highlights the amazing capabilities that the iPad has to offer. I'm honestly considering swapping out my old laptop with an iPad and Apple Pencil simply due to the amazing experience I have witnessed users having with these two devices. I love that Best Buy also offers cases for the iPad which hold the Apple Pencil, which charges the Pencil inside of the case, keeping everything together. I am so pleased with this entire purchase experience. Thank you so much Best Buy!

Definitely a huge improvement I’ve the Apple Pencil 1. 1. Love the magnetic docking on the side of the iPad Pro. 2. Love the wireless charging while docked to the iPad Pro 3. Love the easy and no hassle pairing of the Apple Pencil to the iPad Pro. Simple as docking the pencil, and touching yes/agree. Done. 4. Extremely low latency and better improved response over the first gen Apple Pencil. 5. Love the solid unibody design. No small parts to lose this time. 6. Touch gestures are extremely nice and convenient. Gestures can be programmed to do other functions as well. 7. The flatten side of the Apple Pencil 2 makes easy grip and the Finish is matte which means way less slipping. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who has a use for the Apple Pencil. I like to use mine for photography and touching up pictures. Extremely nice accessory to have for the iPad Pro.

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!

I had bought a new iPad Pro 12” tablet and the old pencil seemed to have issues working with it. Apple suggested that I get the second generation pencil for the best compatibility for the new iPad Pro. It connected perfectly and without any issue. I love how it magnetically attaches to the iPad Pro and even charges it. So much better than the old pencil where I had to plug it in. I was always so afraid I would break off the lightning connector in the lightning port of the iPad. I even bought a charging cradle but it didn’t last long before it quit working. This new pencil is wonderful. I only wish you could replace the tip with soft rubber tips like many other styluses to give alternate tip feels. Like if I am drawing with markers and brushes. It would certainly feel a lot better.

This Apple Pencil is wonderful. It works well every time! I love that it charges when attached to the iPad on the side of it. It is always at 100%. The battery lasts a real long time, allowing long sessions of drawing or taking notes. I have never run out of battery.

Great quality, accurate, easy to use, charges with magnet on iPad so you don't need to worry about extra cords. Glad I got it on sale too.

The Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) is an outstanding tool that transforms the iPad into a powerful creative and productivity device. Its sleek design, pressure sensitivity, and intuitive double-tap gesture make drawing, note-taking, and document markup feel natural and effortless. With magnetic attachment and wireless charging, it’s always ready to go—no cables, no hassle. Whether you're an artist, student, or professional, this stylus delivers precision, performance, and convenience that truly elevate the iPad experience.

Draws like a dream in Procreate. I purchased an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil to have a portable, digital sketchpad, and the drawing experience with the pencil is incredibly fluid and smooth. The pencil is easy to hold and has good weight to it so as to feel substantive in your hand, rather than floaty and delicate. The touch functions on the pencil are pretty useful, and I love how it charges magnetically on the iPad. The only downside is that it has a relatively short battery life - it drains constantly even when not in use while the iPad is off, and in terms of active drawing time, it won’t last more than 7-8 hours, I’d think. That being said, I can’t complain because it charges to full in 15 minutes. Overall, the drawing experience is top notch, and that’s my primary focus.

This stylus component for my iPad Air is quite nifty. It allows for me to take handwritten notes both for personal use and work use. The addition of the double-tap gesture when upgrading from the 1st generation Pencil is useful and adds to the fluidity when using notes or drawing apps. I like to use it to switch between my pencil and the eraser function. The battery life is good and the wireless charging capability is much more convenient than the 1st generation’s design. Overall, this is definitely recommended and it’s worth waiting if you can find a decent price drop.

My daughter loves the new Apple Pencil. She says it’s lighter and feels more like a pencil then the original pencil. She loves the tap feature, the fact that it charges while resting on the iPad, and the accuracy and smoothness of the writing.

Here All the good news about the New Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) -Pairs instantly with IPad 11 Pro -Easy charging on side of IPad -Comfortable to hold -Writes flawlessly -Good balance The Bad: -A bit expensive I use my Apple Pencil 2 everyday as I take notes with my IPad Pro 11. The Apple Pencil 2 is a definite upgrade to the Apple Pencil 1 almost just because you can charge the pencil by attaching it to your IPad. This feature alone makes the Apple Pencil worth buying. The Apple Pencil 2 also has no lag and write flawlessly. It is very comfortable to hold. The only downside is the pencil is a bit expensive but that’s common for most Apple products. Overall, I would recommend the Apple Pencil 2 if you have a new version of the IPad Pro.

The Apple Pencil is an absolute game-changer for iPad users who are looking to unlock their creative potential. As an artist, I can confidently say that the Apple Pencil has revolutionized the way I create and interact with my iPad. First and foremost, the precision and responsiveness of the Apple Pencil are unparalleled. It effortlessly translates my every stroke onto the iPad screen, providing an incredibly natural and fluid drawing experience. Whether I’m sketching, illustrating, or taking handwritten notes, the Apple Pencil captures the subtlest details with impressive accuracy. The design of the Apple Pencil is both sleek and ergonomic, making it comfortable to hold for extended periods. Its lightweight construction and balanced feel give it a premium quality that enhances the overall drawing experience. Additionally, the magnetic attachment feature ensures that the Apple Pencil is always within reach and conveniently charges when connected to the iPad. One standout feature is the pressure sensitivity of the Apple Pencil. It allows me to vary line thickness and shading by simply adjusting the pressure applied, resulting in a level of control and depth that was previously unachievable with other stylus options. The Apple Pencil seamlessly integrates with various creative apps, offering an extensive range of tools and functionalities. The palm rejection technology ensures that only the Apple Pencil’s input is registered, eliminating any accidental marks from my hand resting on the screen. While the Apple Pencil is primarily geared towards artists and designers, it’s also a fantastic tool for note-taking and annotating documents. Its precise input and seamless integration with productivity apps make it an indispensable asset for students and professionals alike.

I can't describe how much I love the Apple pencil! I previously had a knock off ipad pencil from Amazon and oh boy what a difference it makes with the apple one. The Apple pencil makes your handwriting better and makes it easier to write on the ipad. Also love the new design, it's now matte and seems lighter in weight compared to the 1st gen Apple Pencil

I use the Apple Pencil 2nd generation for business note taking almost exclusively though it can be used for substantially more than that from my understanding. My review is based solely on the note taking. It's magnetic charge feature is fantastic. It is also great to hold a pencil that both looks and feels like pencil. It's functionality seems great as well. I really like it. The only reason I don't give it a 5 star rating is it's price. I understand research and development may sometimes be costly but honestly notwithstanding the advancement of this technology $119 plus tax for something with so little in the way of raw materials seems extreme. I have no idea how long this pencil or its battery will last and a few times it has required me to reboot and attach the iPad to get it to recognize and connect to my iPad again. That being said, I did buy it and I am happy with the product. If it lasts 2-3 years without battery or device failure then it may well be worth it but certainly not everyone is not going to shell out that kind of money for such a small device.

Extremely easy to use and a really lightweight pencil. Connects amazingly well with iPad Air and charges pretty fast. Writes very well when taking notes for school.

I love using the Apple Pencil with my iPad Pro. It makes scribbling, doodling and writing so much easier. It's just the perfect size and weight and feels natural in hand. In the right app, you can use the pencil tilted for thicker strokes and straighten it for thinner lines. You can also press it down a little harder for denser lines. The applications are many. To charge, just bring it close to the one of the sides of the iPad and it attaches itself to the iPad magnetically and starts charging immediately. That easy! Excellent companion to my iPad.

I initially bought this for my daughter who loves to draw on my iPad Pro, but ended up using it mostly myself because it is so great and fun to use. I just tap tap tap away; it’s very precise, holds a charge well, and is a comfortable, familiar grip, just like a real pencil or pen. It makes it easier to use to jot down notes and such (unlike those clumsy ones with rubber tips), and just navigate around the internet. My daughter also reports that it is perfect to use when drawing (she uses the Procreate app). It is so convenient to charge it by simply magnetically clicking it to the side of the iPad, not to mention store it out of the way when not needed. I like having the option to use it or not with my iPad.

This pencil is great, I like the updated charging. It’s a bit smaller and lighter than the first generation. I’m not sure if it’s meant to be held in a certain way with the new design but I can’t ever seem to hold it where I can easily tap the flat side. This is personal preference but I feel like it’s a bit light, with the first gen I felt like I was actually holding something it felt sturdy and a bit longer but with this new pencil I feel like it can easily slip out of my hand and it sometimes feels like im not holding it. Over all it’s a a good purchase and essential if you draw or write on an iPad
