Customer Ratings & Reviews

*Disclaimer This does NOT work on apples. First I tried on a McIntosh, because I mean c'mon, it's a given! When that failed I thought maybe it was lacking something so I hit it with Pazazz, but that fell flat like Granny Smith in her Gravenstein. I even saw a Pink Lady in the Gala but still it failed. After all that disappointment I gave up and have just been using it on my iPad. And yeah, sure, it's like better than any stylus or tablet pen I've ever used with like a bajillion levels of sensitivity and touch sensors. The weight is great, it's comfortable to use for long periods and it charges wirelessly. Like DOPE!!. but still.. I was really hoping to write an ode to Newton on his native fruit.

You don’t need to buy an Apple keyboard to use with your iPad Air or Pro or Mini. In fact, I personally prefer a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard for that. But the accessory you truly need to unlock your iPad is an Apple Pencil. Yes, it’s outlandishly expensive. But if you compare using this with a Logitech Crayon or, worse, an off-brand stylus, you may find yourself asking why you didn’t just shell out for the real deal. It’s absolutely a must if you plan to do any kind of art, and the tap “button” makes it easy to program a secondary function like an eraser without constantly having to switch tools. And the coolest feature: the magnetic charger that just satisfyingly snaps the pencil to the side of the iPad and connects and charges it quickly. The best.

The pencil works seamlessly. It is very fluid and comfortable to hold. I love the ability to just place it on the side of my iPad Pro to charge, connect and see how much battery is remaining. It charges up really fast to a full charge. The use of the customization of features is as simple as double tapping on the pencil itself to bring up what you would like to do. Great product but the price could be a bit lower.

Something about how it writes makes it an actual joy to write with this thing on an iPad. My favorite thing about it is that the page doesn’t drag down as you’re trying to write. Combine that with easy charging done magnetically through the iPad and having it turn on instantly when you detach it makes this worth every penny.

This Apple Pencil 2nd gen is a remarkable tool that elevates the iPad experience to new heights. Its sleek design, seamless connectivity, and impressive responsiveness make it a must-have accessory for artists, designers, and note-takers alike. The magnetic attachment and wireless charging feature add convenience, while the double-tap gesture for switching tools enhances productivity. Although it comes with a premium price tag, its performance and integration with iPadOS make it worth the investment for those seeking precision and fluidity in their digital workflows.

The pencil works great, but for some reason, this is the 3rd one I have had to purchase in the last 12 months, because the tip just breaks off and is not under warranty. I have had pencils every since they came out, but this one is not very sturdy. You got to have it to use your Ipad.

I had bought a generic stylus pen for my iPad Pro but it wasn’t working well so I decided to buy the real Apple pen for 129. It is an amazing pen and works exceptionally well especially for drawing. It charges itself on the side of the iPad. I really love the pen, I knocked the value down to 4 stars as I thought it was too expensive.

What can I say, its a digital pencil. Great for taking notes, and as a student coming from using pen+paper all the time, it did NOT feel like a compromise to take notes on the iPad — in fact I prefer a little bit of the gliding because it helps me to write a bit faster lol. Probably shouldn’t cost this much, but I’m still happy with it.

I loved the first gen Apple Pencil but this one is way better. The slimmer more flat design makes it more comfortable to grin causing a more natural writing style for me. It’s faster with less lag between moving the pen and drawing. And the best feature is the magnetic charging. It was an inconvenience when I needed to charge my iPad and pencil at the same time.

Easy to pair to the new iPad that I just purchased at the same time. I like that the iPad can be setup to respond to pencil touches differently than when you use your fingers to scroll for example. Long battery life, and love how it stores right next to the iPad by a magnetic pull within the protective case.

Writes very good on the newer iPads. Much better design than the original Apple Pencil. Charges wirelessly and magnetically attached to the iPad. One flat side so it does not roll as easily. I am so glad they did away with the lightning charging in the iPad port that the original pencil had. I like the feature where you can double tap and change your tools. Makes it a bit more convenient to use. I also like the Matt white. They should make it in Matt black too though. I also wish there were a few more flat sides so it rolled even less. Overall, a big improvement though!

Replaced my old one that I had for 8 years. Works as expected and is perfect for my iPad. It's essential to my online art business.

I recently acquired the Apple Pencil Gen 2, and it has completely transformed the way I interact with my iPad Pro. This stylus is not just a tool; it's a piece of innovation that seamlessly integrates with the iPad ecosystem, offering a level of precision and functionality that sets it apart. The magnetic attachment feature is a game-changer. The Apple Pencil effortlessly attaches to the side of the iPad Pro, ensuring that it's always within reach and ready to use. The automatic pairing and charging through this magnetic connection eliminate the need for fumbling with cables or worrying about battery life.

Being brutally honest: Not much of an improvement over the 1st generation, at least, I think it isn't. Pros: Wireless charging is nice. Magnetic clip and, boop, you're charging. Also sticks onto the iPad so it doesn't fall off. It'd need heck of a bump to come off. Not saying it wouldn't, but it seems very difficult to make it part from its wireless charging magnetic cradle without intentionally removing it. Pencil thickness is reduced which is also nice. The 1st gen was pretty bulky, but solid. This one is thinner and lighter, but curious about how durable it is. Certainly wouldn't try and bend it. Cons: Material is a big step back. The 1st gen was much more "Apple-esque" with its brilliant white and shiny coating. This one is very slippery, it's slipped out of my hands more in a couple weeks of ownership than the 1st gen ever did in a year and a half. It's notoriously bad when you have dry skin, such as when you're on an airplane. No additional tips. Not sure WHY they chose to not include an extra tip like they did last time, but that's rough. Break the tip, you gotta buy more before you can use the pencil again. Having that extra included from the get-go gives you a "fool me twice..." experience that you don't get this time around. "Meh"-s: Double tap to switch: A cool concept, but works maybe 40% of the time. Or, it false-fires. Maybe user error, I dunno. I try to use it but sometimes it's just easier to tap between the "pencil" and "eraser" icons in Notes and/or Notability. Tracking: Doesn't seem to be improved over the 1st gen. Maybe I'm wrong but it doesn't seem to be any more or less accurate which I guess is a good thing? Overall, I think the biggest gripe is that you can't use the 1st gen pencil on the new iPad Pro which I guess isn't the pencil's fault, but still lame nevertheless. It's still a great product and I use it almost daily, and definitely wouldn't replace it with anything else. Just make sure you don't break the tip unless you've bought extras. Side note: My first 2nd gen had a manufacturer defect that caused the transducer to break off if the tip was removed. I returned it and received a new one, although out of caution I haven't removed the tip yet. I'd advise using similar caution with yours, just in case.

Yes, it's expensive, but it's an expense I'm glad I made. I liked the prices of other pencils for the iPad, but I didn't like their charging methods. This product was made for Apple by Apple, so integration and ease of use is superb. I mainly use the pencil for note taking or drawing in ProCreate.

This is my third time purchasing electronics thru best buys open box depot and as always the products are just like new! The process has always been great and fast, never have I had a problem with any of the items. And the best part is always save a a alot of $$$.

I lovw my apple pencil, it makes writing my notes super easy and neat, it connects to my iPad magnetically to charge and stays on there well. Also the battery life is super long

The Apple Pencil 2 is nothing short of a digital artist's dream. Seamlessly pairing with my iPad, it transforms my tablet into a canvas of endless possibilities. Whether sketching, taking notes, or designing, its precision is unparalleled, replicating the feel of a traditional pencil but with the power of modern technology. The added double-tap feature is a game-changer, allowing for quick tool switches without breaking the creative flow. A magnetic attachment and wireless charging are the cherries on top, making it an indispensable tool for any iPad user. A perfect blend of design and functionality, the Apple Pencil 2 is truly a masterpiece in its own right.

I am so happy I finally decided to go ahead and purchase the apple pen. I’m a realtor and I wanted to try to go more paperless. So instead of varying a bunch of documents and notes in folders , I just jot my notes down in my iPad and copy documents into notes. I like the functiality of this pen. It was on sale at the time I bought it and I’m glad I went for this instead of the USBC apple pen. I like that it can charge by attaching to the side of my iPad Pro. I know I haven’t explored the full functionality of this pen yet but I expect to in time to come.

If you own an iPad that supports the 2nd gen Apple Pencil, this is a must-have. The responsiveness and precision are next level; it feels like writing on paper, but better. I use it for everything: taking notes, sketching, editing photos, and even marking up PDFs. Magnetic charging on the iPad’s side is super convenient, and I never worry about battery life anymore. It pairs instantly and just works, exactly what you’d expect from Apple. I was hesitant at first because of the price, but after using it daily, it’s 100% worth it. It’s elevated my productivity and creativity in a big way. A+ product!
