Customer Ratings & Reviews

After using the gen 1 Apple pencil for so long I got used to its shortcomings-such as the peculiar way it connected and charged via the iPad lightening port causing it to awkwardly stick out like a weird appendage or its rounded shape that had a tendency to roll around hard surfaces. But the newer pencil made me realize his much I had been settling for "usable". The magnetic charging capability makes connecting super simple and allows me to charge the pencil while I'm simply storing it on the side - completely effortlessly and without even realizing it. And the added function of the side button tap features improves workflow efficiency in drawing apps such as Procreate which has several gesture shortcuts but being to implement the pencil into the mix makes things so much easier!

Works fine, simple to pair and charge with my I-pad Pro. However, for me personally, I have not found a great use for the pencil as I am not an artist and into coloring, for me it works to take notes etc, and for the most part, the handwritten notes become searchable, etc.

I miss the weight and heft of the 1st generation Apple Pencil; this one is a lot lighter and the one flat side causes my hand to cramp in ways the earlier version never did. However, the magnetic charging is a way better setup than having to plug the old version into the side of the iPad so it protrudes awkwardly. Be careful what kind of case you get for your iPad; the first one I got did not allow the Apple Pencil to fit snug enough to the magnetized panel on the top of the iPad, so the Apple Pencil's battery died on me. I had to take the case back and buy a better designed one to let the Apple Pencil sit snugly against the magnet, and haven't had another problem like that since. This Apple Pencil charges pretty quickly and the pressure sensitivity and range of different holding angles work great as they did with the first generation Apple Pencil, but I will say this version seems to be even more sensitive/precise than the earlier iteration. It's also really nice that the extra replacement nibs I bought will not go to waste, as they fit both the first and second generation Apple Pencils.

Purchased an Apple iPad thru Apple Store but went to Best Buy first. They did not have the iPad in stock but I purchased the Apple Pencil 2nd Generation and it works great. I wish there was accident protection available for the item though.

I returned my iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil in the end and went with the Surface Pro 7 and pen because it suited my needs better. The Apple Pencil is nice and a beautiful design as is the Apple way looks are a big deal and it works great with the Pro. Artists I am sure enjoy this Pencil very much as it is very useful. The price is a little high in my opinion but again it's Apple... I would recommend it but only for people with specific needs, wants or just who truly love Apple.

I LOVE my Apple Pencil. I got it for my iPad 2 years ago, and still use it often. I originally got it for my Air, but now I use it for my Mini and it’s perfect. 10/10 would recommend! I usually use it for planning, not so much drawing, but I still love it.

Purchased in conjunction with an iPad Pro & works great. Bought for my daughter as a Christmas gift ahead of her starting college & will work great for notetaking & serving all of her needs in & out of the classroom. Easy to use & even easier to charge. Thanks!

Perfect for sketching on ipad. The easy use and sensitivity this pen has is perfect for our teenage daughter's artwork.

Works great! Excellent response on my iPad. Holds charge very long time. Good weight and feel. Helpful hint: If you should lose your Apple Pencil, the quickest way to find it is to buy a new one. The old one will magically re-appear!

Great accessory for your iPad Pro! Must have if you use Final Cut for iPad.

This pencil is a must to se with the Apple IPad. It is light wat and easy to use. It holds its charge very well.

I am very pleased with the performance of this Apple Pencil. It makes using my iPad so much easier. It is much better than using the rubber stylus type product. The Apple Pencil is very precise and effortless to use. I would recommend this product.

Must have got Apple IPad Pro. It’s so nice to be able to write and draw notes. Love the charging not having to plug it in, just attached to the side of your iPad.

The way the pencil charges magnetically is infinitely better than the previous way. However, the flat edge put on the pencil does make it a little awkward to hold. Although this may feel more comfortable after some time. Everything about the accuracy and feel of the old pencil is here making it an amazing drawing tool. The first time I bought the old Apple Pencil it hurt to spend $100, now they’re charging $130 which is just adding insult to injury. Despite its pitfalls if you’re an artist who uses the IPad every day this is a must have.

So simple to use. Feels like an ordinary pencil. Easy to carry as it is magnetic. Gets me excited to learn how to sketch. :)

This is a great improvement on the original Apple Pencil, particularly in the ease of charging it. With expanded opportunities to use the pencil in iPadOS and 14, the pencil is not just an accessory anymore but something that is a must-have for the iPad Pro.

Love this pencil!! I love that I can point to letters and type quickly. Also great for marking up pictures and documents!! Since it is magnetic, it is easy to charge and is never displaced.

Perfect accessory to the iPad. Charges with a magnet on the iPad. Doesn’t obstruct user experience. No hassle and comfortable to use for long periods.

Easy to use and easy to store. Not complicated to charge and is extremely useful for taking notes and writing on the iPad. Has been extremely useful.

Works greatly with my iPad 6th generation. Two amazing gadgets exquisitely designed and made.
