    I only recently found out that I can use the iPad Pro as a graphics tablet for the MacBook. However, you can’t use your fingers on the screen when you do this. You absolutely have to use the pencil as a mouse for the iPad in such mode. And it’s soooooooooo amazing. I’ve bought this pencil I think 4 times over the years because I could NOT have an iPad without it. I’ve illustrated in Fresco, Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint for about 2 years now. I’ve most recently started using it as a sculpting tablet in Blender 3D and IVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER. A year and half learning 3D programs and I finally got to use a graphics tablet to sculpt for the first time thanks to the Apple Pencil!! It’s literally like drawing on paper. I’ve noticed you can replace the tips when they wear out. Heads up, I’ve never once had to do that. They last FOREVER

    I've never had an issue with this model of Apple Pencil save for my own clumsiness which has destroyed my last couple lol. It's a good product, same with iPads. I am an android user but I always go to Apple for tablets, trust. This particular purchase was open box, basically a 50% discount, and I've had no trouble.

    You want to write on your iPad so bad, but all you have are plebeian, normal pencils. We’ve all been there. Fret not, because now there is a pencil worthy of your iPad. The Apple Pencil (2nd Generation). Less round than the previous iteration, the Apple Pencil magnets neatly to the side of your iPad. But it’s not just for looks. It charges while it’s there. Next level Apple engineering. Oh, also you can write on your iPad.

    The apple pencil 2nd gen is compatible and works perfect with this iPad. Seriously, if you are planning to take notes on your iPad, this pencil is a must. A life changer! I would recommend to download the app GoodNotes and also purchase a paper-like screen protecter with extra tips that are pen-like. All of these will enhance your note-taking experience immensely. Not sure how other off-brand Amazon pencils compare to this one. I bought this one to easily charge my pencil by sticking it next to the iPad. No worries when it comes to that. I’m hoping there are no major issues with this pencil since I bought it here on Amazon! Will update if there is any.

    Absolutely, the Apple Pencil 2 is like a digital artist's best friend. Its precision and responsiveness are top-notch, making it a must for any iPad user. The magnetic attachment and wireless charging are super convenient. While it's a bit on the pricey side, it's an investment that creative professionals won't regret.

    I’ve found the Apple Pencil useful as an artist, but I have some major caveats about it. First: the battery dies really quickly! Even when I’m not using it, if I forget to unpair it, the charge drains quickly. Plus, the only way of charging it is to put it on the edge of the tablet. This is good because you don’t need an additional charger. It’s not so great because it easy lose. I lost one pencil & had to replace it It’s an expensive tool to get lost easily Third: speaking of getting lost, the pencil doesn’t have a case that would make it easier to keep track of it & nib replacements. For me, I wanted an all in one my styli & tips. So I did get a case for everything. It would’ve been helpful to have a case, esp for people who don’t want or can’t buy another pencil. Fourth , intuitive use w/apps & graphic programs. Occasionally works well, other time there’s a slight lag which is an issue for artists And lastly, this is not the fault of this Apple Pencil. Some graphic programs don’t support Apple Pencil 2 anymore. For example, Adobe Illustrator only supports Apple Pencil Pro. I want to cry. I’ve been at a standstill with my work because of the recent change. Apple makes it so difficult to keep our electronics even if we don’t want to constantly upgrade & spending more money. You would think they could incorporated the Apple Pencil Pro for IPads that aren’t just for the latest OLED screen tablets which will set you back for at least $1500

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

    The Good: -Smoother writing -Charging is done on the side of iPad and not through lightning -Shorter and more compact -Double tap setting is very convenient to go from writing to erasing -Battery Charges seems about the same as version 1 The Bad: -No extra tip -Not cheap The Bottom Line: If you have a new iPad, then you should definitely get the Apple Pencil 2 since the writing is smoother and the charging is much easier by snapping it to the side of the iPad. While the Pencil isn’t cheap, it does work very well and I can’t imagine taking notes any other way. Overall I would recommend.

    Very light and easy to use. I forget sometimes that I am holding the apple pen and try to write on a piece of paper to only realize I can write on paper with it. Excellent product is definitely a must have for the iPad Pro we have. Will be buying again with our second iPad.

    The Apple Pencil has been a great addition to use with my iPad Air 2020. There’s a lot of uses included just scrolling through web pages or reaching corners of the iPad easier. It is very sensitive to pressure from the slightest tough to pushing harder down on the screen and everything inbetween. It picks up the angle of writing easily and makes drawing, editing, erasing and writing a lot more authentic and more natural as I don’t have to keep changing the paint brush settings to get lighter/darker strokes or change the width to get wider or thinner lines as the pencil does it all automatically and without hesitation. It has a very good hand feel and after spending prolonged periods of writing it’s still comfortable to hold and the Matt finish helps it not slide in my hand. Attaching magnetically to the side of my tablet and also charging from it is incredibly useful as it’s always there and charged when I want to use it and the magnets are strong and keep it firmly in position. The battery life is also very impressive as I’ve never managed to get it to go anywhere below 80% charged. The double tap works very well and is very useful for writing notes or drawing and saves a lot of messing around with selecting the marker or eraser. Cons: It can be knocked off from the side of the iPad or get in the way if you are holding the tablet two handed and portrait however I bought after buying a self adhesive Apple Pencil sleeve for £8 I don’t have that problem anymore but always have the pencil there without occasionally being in the way. The double tap feature works better on the flat side (that’s what you're meant to do) but on the rounded edges or further up it doesn’t always pick the double tap up but if you hold the pencil as it should the double tap is responsive and sensitive. The scribble feature could do with some work in regards picking up some letters or numbers although I have the hand writing of a child at best which I’m sure doesn’t help.

    Absolutely love my iPencil. Can’t imagine using my iPad Pro to it’s highest potential without this product! Very satisfied. Product works as described and quality is good. Holds charge as it says it should. Fits in many different iPad cases. Only downfall is tips are sensitive and break easily if pencil is dropped. Wish they would sell it out extra tips. I learned the hard way, to buy extra tips when I dropped it at work and my pencil tip got smooshed. Otherwise overall satisfied.

    Highly recommended accessory for iPad Pro

    I tried to not buy the Apple Pencil for as long as possible, but I ultimately needed it for work (note-taking/designing figures) and bought the Apple Pencil 2. I previously owned the 10.5 inch iPad Pro and the 1st generation Apple Pencil and comparatively, the design changes have their pros and cons. In terms of the cons, I think the Apple Pencil 1 is a little thicker than the 2. For someone with larger hands, it actually was more comfortable holding the 1 than the 2. If I'm doing a lot with the Apple Pencil 2 for a long period of time, my hand cramps up more quickly than when I used the 1. As for the pros, I have to say that the magnetic connection and wireless charging features are what ultimately makes the 2 worth buying. I've misplaced the charging dongle of my Apple Pencil 1 many times and also the pencil itself. I also have brought out the 1 only to find that the battery is dead many times. Being able to attach the Apple Pencil 2 to the iPad has been such a huge improvement in my usage. So, if you do a lot of note-taking, drawing or photo editing, you can't go wrong with the Apple Pencil 2, especially with the new features.
