Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve wanted to use the pencil since Gen 1 but waited until there was no need to awkwardly plug it into a USB-C port to charge it. Happy I waited for Gen 2. Feels great to use and is a nice addition to a compatible iPad.

I honestly never thought I would see the day that Apple would come out with it's own Digital Pencil. I couldn't even explain how accurate and precise this device is. I switched to digital writing for everything I do. The activities that can be done with this pencil are endless. Even the way it charges is ingenious. 5 STARS and HIGHLY recommended!

Flawless connection and functions better than your finger! Connects to the top of my IPad Pro and is always ready to use and fully charged. If you do any drawing, note taking or just doodling because you’re bored, it’s a great pencil, best part about it, never needs sharpening!

Writes great charges fast. Very accurate and holds charge well.

Bought the pencil in physical store. It was quick and no issue with the transaction. The pencil itself was easy to pair with iPad and easy to charge. Easy to get use to using it to do drawings on iPad too.

The 2nd generation Apple Pencil fixed everything that was wrong in the 1st generation: flat side means that it does not roll off the table, no cap covering a charging connection to lose, magnets snap to top of iPad and wireless charging. Behind this simplicity of use are many complex moves by Apple. Simply a great tool and a must for latest iPad Pro.

I had the 1st gen pencil, this one is nicer. Charge and attach on the side of an iPad magnetically is great. It works great with the iPad os scribble feature. Love the tap to change the tip feature when drawing.

Best pencil for the iPads and I got it for a good price. :))

I’m still trying to reconcile the higher price. I actually do use it more than the previous version because of the ease of charging and the elegant magnetic connection to the iPad, but come on! This seems like a money grab to me. Functionality is fine, but not noticeably better than the earlier version. Why am I paying more for a fix that should not have been necessary in the first place??!! I mean, could there have been a more ridiculous (and un-Apple-like) charging setup than sticking this thing into the iPad at a right angle? No, I don’t think so. Still, it’s a great accessory - just one we shouldn’t have to pay a premium for, given it’s clunky predecessor.

The Apple Pencil is one of the most interesting accessories your iPad can use. Whether for drawing, taking notes, or simply to use it in applications that need greater precision, it is very useful.

Apple pen works great on my ipad. It was smooth and easy to use.

Very accurate and easy to use. Love how it charges and magnetizes to iPad.!

This pen is in fact....ALL THAT! So much more than a stylus there is really no comparison. Very responsive and allows for sketching.....I never knew it, but I can literally draw! Can't wait to take a tutorial. Apple has so many classes! The battery life is excellent too! Reprogramming myself not to use my finger.....I hate smudges. Pricey but worth it!

If you are a creator then you need this pen. From editing photos in Lightroom or Photo Shop. You can edit videos more precisely and also draw in apps like Pro Create . The iPad is good alone but if your into photo editing like I am , I rely on the Apple Pencil every time . If you draw , or edit photos or videos this is the pen to buy

Great Apple Pencil. Great design for comfort and slip resistant. Very responsive to tablet screen.

Using Apple Pencil second generation with iPad Pro 11 inch. This pencil is a huge improvement over the first generation. I like to get it charges in the case with the iPad, or just by sitting next to it. I appreciate being able to double tap in order to switch from writing to erasing (can be set to last tool used or color palette), but this can still be improved by Apple. I’ve also used the Surface Pro with pen and love how it works like a real pencil when you flip from the writing tip to the other end of the pencil to erase (think of a regular wooden pencil from elementary school or just a regular pencil—one end writes, other end erases). Now, if Apple allowed for that and still kept the double tap, maybe included a triple tap, as well, then one could easily switch between writing, erasing, using the last tool, AND color palette). I wish I could use my Surface pen with my iPad, but this 2nd gen pencil is still better than the first. I look forward to the day when Apple is not so stingy with what their products can do. Don’t get me wrong, I love Apple products, but I am not afraid to see what others are offering, allowing me to see what possibilities are out there. I think Apple is still counting on many of us to continue grandfather-ing from one Apple product to another, but even I can see Apple is not really evolving/incorporating the best of what’s out there. For what this Apple Pencil 2nd gen is supposed to do, write and erase and access palette, it does that. The pencil does not use the double tap in some of the store apps, like drawing, but the pen works with some of the Apple apps. The pencil is quick and easy to use; it is still ridiculously overpriced, and has the potential to do so much more (perhaps switch between pencil/pen/paintbrush; slide finger up/down pencil to change writing width or change colors or move from lighter to darker shades of color being used, ...). So much potential. Overall, the Apple Pencil serves the basic purposes mentioned above. The service I received at Best Buy from Tybris was wonderful. He answered my questions, provided options, and rang me up. Give that guy a raise, an iPad, and an Apple Pencil. I tried to upload a photo of the pencil but apparently the “file is too big”. So enjoy the review and be sadface there ain’t no picture to accompany.

This pen is the best pen, it allows you to write verses typing. I am old school and like to use pen and paper, it feels like I am writing notes. You can also draw with the pen. I absolutely love it. Great tool to have with your ipad.

My kid loves drawing on his ipad and the pencil is just a perfect way for him to do it.

As soon as I unboxed my beautiful brand new ipad pro, I knew I had made the right decision. With a sleek design and the new magic keyboard and second generation apple pencil, it makes the experience one to remember. Say goodbye to logging in on the slow PC’s at work and getting carpal tunnel from the uncomfortable mouse! Now you can access your websites in style. Draw and create masterpieces on a whim, take quick notes by swiping up from the bottom right of the screen, and watch your videos on the big screen! Sufficient to say, this iPad will change the way you work, and boost your personal creativity- giving you the tools to promote your productivity, and encourage your creativity.

So much better than the first one when it comes to This version is significantly better than the first one in terms of battery life and doesn’t drain your iPad either. Personally, I prefer the squeeze method more than the old tapping method to access more options and use the device. However, I wish there were more functionalities available when using it on note-taking apps.
