    It works well, and pairs easily with the magnetic attachment. If you are like most of us and use a case, I would make sure the case has a strap or holder to keep the pencil in place while traveling. The pencil has a balanced feel and is definitely worth it for marking up, digital signatures, and drawing. Nice add-on to your pro or new air.

    This little thing adds a lot of power to the iPad experience. I love how it charges right on the side of my device, and the strong magnetic grip holds it there too. My only gripe is with the price of it, which is always an issue when it comes to Apple products. If you’re patient though, keep an eye out for a deal, and you can regularly see it for $10-15 off.

    Better than a real pencil

    I bought the second generation pencil to go with my wife’s new iPad Pro. She thinks this pencil is the best thing to ever happen to a tablet. It charges extremely quickly, hardly takes any charge away from the iPad, connects magnetically directly to the iPad, and works beautifully. It is incredibly sensitive and can be used instead of your finger for all tablet-based use. Absolutely great purchase.

    Excellent service on this most recent purchase from your store in Santa Fe, NM. Love the Apple Pencil that I can now use with my IPad Pro that I also bought from this store in Santa Fe a few years ago.

    I was looking forward to the 2nd generation iPad Pencil Pro but it doesn’t connect and work with my iPad Pro 11-inch 3rd generation. My 3rd gen iPad doesn’t have the M4 processor, which is required to work with the iPad Pencil Pro. I was disappointed. I would still recommend it for users of the latest iPad Pro. It should work nicely with long-lasting battery charge.

    The new Apple Pencil is a noticeable improvement over the first generation. The wireless charging works well and the magnets hold the pencil securely during basic use. If placed in a bag, pencil will likely come off with jostling, but holding the pencil in this situation is not the intended design. Writing is smooth and responsive. The double tap to switch tools is very useful in note taking.

    Got it on sale at Bestbuy for 40% off on Oct 2022. Have a little trouble to find direction to connect to iPad, but after watch instruction on YouTube and it was very simple to use. Easy to charge Apple Pencil without any wire, great product for iPad.

    Apple’s pencil is unbeatable. It works like butter when doing digital art or for note taking. Love that it attaches to the iPad itself and charges/stays charged when not in use. Such a helpful tool!

    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.

    This pencil is fantastic. It has many options for the style (looks like you are writing with a pencil, pen, or marker) and colors. Easy to change sizes of tip or color of ink. Erasing is easy as well. I used it for grading and saved a ton of time. Plus, I didn’t have to print documents in order to add comments—saved paper and toner! Love that it magnetically connects to the iPad and charges.

    Purchased this Apple Pencil 2 to go with a mini iPad. The Pencil works well and generally gets used for coloring and other fun stuff by our child on the iPad. It attaches magnetically to the side of the iPad mini for storage and charging. No issues connecting it to the iPad and it just works.

    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

    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!

    Good product. Use to take notes in college. Only thing I wish was different is how it connects to my ipad. This is my second pencil because the first one fell off. Also, while it is very useful, it seems a little pricey.

    I use my Apple Pencil 2 everyday as I take notes with my IPad Pro 11. The Apple Pencil 2 can charge by attaching it to your IPad. The Apple Pencil 2 also has no lag and writes flawlessly. It is very comfortable to hold. Overall, I would recommend the Apple Pencil 2 if you have a new version of the IPad Pro.

    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.
