What I love the most is how smooth it feels—there’s zero lag, so when I’m writing or sketching, it’s almost like the ink is flowing directly from the tip onto the screen. My handwriting actually looks neat for once, which makes taking notes way less stressful. I have the 2nd generation Apple Pencil, and the magnetic charging is honestly a game changer. I used to constantly misplace pens and styluses, but now it just snaps right to the side of my iPad, and I always know where it is. It feels like Apple thought about people like me who are always losing little things.

A pencil you don’t wanna drop

So I don’t know why the heck this doesn’t come WITH the actual iPad since it seems like an essential stylus but besides my disapproval for the need to buy additional accessories to get full benefit, I would recommend you do because whether you’re literally drawing or like me, taking notes, it’s more interactive to write rather than type and if it involves processes or cycles or mechanisms like your typical science classes do, you can draw those as well. The Apple erase function is a little inconsistent, but yeah I think it’s worth getting this also because you have the pressure feeling, so it feels more natural to write and it charges on the side of the iPad which is actually super convenient because if you’re like me and have a million things charging before bed for the next school day, it’s one less thing to worry about. **Note: when you get a case, you should definitely consider how the pencil goes in because I’m not sure they all have a component for it or if it necessarily charges when it’s in the case.

I bought the new Apple iPad Air 11 inch M2 and needed a new Apple Pencil, and this is the one I bought. This one is pretty cool too. It feels good in my hand. It has this feature where I can give it a squeeze and it brings up a menu to select colors or other things, and this can be customized to a point. It charges on the iPad itself without being plugged in. I love this Apple Pencil Pro!

I recently got the Apple Pencil Pro alongside my iPad Air M3, and honestly, it was love at first sight! As someone who’s into fashion illustration, sketching, and writing, this pencil delivers everything I need and more.
It’s precise, comfortable to hold, and extremely responsive; it truly feels like a natural extension of my hand. Whether I’m sketching detailed fashion pieces or jotting down ideas or just journaling, the Apple Pencil Pro keeps up effortlessly.

I’m loving the Apple Pencil Pro with my iPad Pro (M4)! At $129, it’s pricey but awesome for drawing and notes. It’s sleek, feels great, and sticks to the iPad for charging (though it can slip). The squeeze feature pops up a tool menu—super handy in Procreate. Twisting it changes line styles like a real brush, and it vibrates for feedback. Find My saved me when I lost it! Writing and sketching are smooth, and the hover feature helps with precision. Battery lasts days. Downsides? Only works with 2024 iPad Pro/Air, and accidental squeezes happen. If you’re artsy or take lots of notes, it’s a game-changer!

A Game-Changer for iPad users

I bought the Apple Pencil Pro in white on September 3, 2025, and I'm totally in love with it! The white color is so sleek and clean. it looks amazing. I use it with my iPad Air 13-inch that I got from Best Buy last year, and they work together perfectly. I especially love using it with GoodNotes. The ability to change colors with one pencil is awesome, and the graphic fixer that makes perfect shapes like circles and pentagons is a game-changer. It just includes everything I need. It makes studying and writing feel so much more creative and fun. I actually ordered a different stylus from another online website before this, and believe me, there's no comparison. The Apple Pencil Pro is in a league of its own. What's really cool is that I can even use it with my Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 (14AKP10) that I just bought from Best Buy four days ago. It's so versatile, it inspires me to explore new ways to use it every day. The Apple Pencil has transformed my iPad experience. The magnetic attachment is super strong, so it's stays put until I need it. Charging is easy, and knowing it's always ready inspires me to create and study more. It's made using my iPad way more enjoyable and productive. I can now take detailed notes in class with ease. If you have an iPad, especially the 13-inch Air, the Apple Pencil pro is a worthwhile upgrade that enhances both creativity and productivity.

Great for using with my ipad for nursing school studying!!! Love that I can also find it in the ‘Find My’ app.
I bought metal writing tips to replace the worn out plastic apple writing tip. They last a whole lot longer. I recommend doing that to get the best longevity!

Upgrade-But Wish I Could Use Old Apple Pencil

I recently upgraded my iPad Air and was disappointed to find that my original Apple Pencil wasn’t compatible with the newest model. While I wish Apple had allowed for backwards compatibility—since the old Pencil now has no real use—the new one is a very nice upgrade. The interaction feels even more premium, with improved pressure sensitivity and the helpful hover feature that casts a shadow on the screen, which is especially great for drawing in Procreate. Magnetic charging is also super convenient—I never have to worry about battery life. A solid upgrade overall, just wish I had a choice.

The 2024 Apple Pencil Pro takes precision and versatility to a new level. The sensitivity and accuracy are unmatched—it feels incredibly natural, almost like using a real pen on paper. With the new customizable button, switching between tools is faster than ever, making it perfect for both detailed sketching and rapid note-taking. The magnetic attachment to the iPad is strong and charges quickly, so it’s always ready when you are. It’s a bit pricier than previous models, but the upgraded features and seamless integration with iPadOS make it well worth the investment for serious artists and creators.

Really great took to take notes and annotate. Very low latency. It has pretty good battery life as well and charges up pretty fast. The only reason I am giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is that sometimes when I am taking notes on a PowerPoint slide, the thickness of the writing automatically changes without me putting any extra pressure or pressing anything. Hopefully its just a software issue and will be fixed with a iOS update.
