    I bought this USB-C pencil last month. The setup was effortless, plug it straight to the iPad and it’s ready to go! As a sketch artist the precision is amazing. It has a smooth transition with no lag.

    This Apple Pencil (USB-C) has completely transformed how I interact with my iPad. The precision is incredible — every stroke feels smooth and natural, whether I’m sketching, note-taking, or editing photos. There’s almost no lag, and it pairs seamlessly without hassle. What I love most is the USB-C charging — no more awkward connectors or adapters. It’s fast, convenient, and matches the simplicity that Apple is known for. The Pencil also has a great weight and feel — it’s comfortable to use for hours without hand fatigue. Whether you’re a student, artist, or just someone who loves writing by hand, this is an essential tool. I didn’t know how much I needed it until I had it — now I can’t go back. Highly recommended!

    Nothing compares to Apple Pencils for writing on iPads. I have used alternative devices, like the Logitech Crayon or some off-brand styluses from Amazon. Those devices work about 80% as expected; Apple Pencils work seamlessly. With respect to the USB-C version, it is a much cleaner design than the Apple Pencil with a lightning connection. I was always afraid of losing the cover of charging port. The sleek way Apple integrated the USB-C port into the pencil is what I would expect from hardware designed by Apple. The ONLY criticism of this pencil is its price. I could buy 5-10 Amazon knock-offs for the same price as 1 Apple Pencil.

    Works great so far. No connection issues or major battery problems. Seems to hold less charge than the 1st generation pencil I used to have but it charges pretty fast so it's not that much of a problem. Little nitpick of mine is the magnet has very little strength when attaching to the side but that's about it.

    I recently picked up the Apple Pencil (USB-C) for my iPad, and it’s been fantastic. The design is sleek and comfortable to hold, making it easy to use for extended periods. The USB-C charging is a huge plus—no more hunting for Lightning cables! The pencil pairs seamlessly with my iPad and charges quickly. It’s responsive and precise, whether I’m jotting down notes or sketching ideas. The magnetic attachment keeps it securely in place when not in use. Overall, I’m really impressed with this Apple Pencil. It’s a solid choice for anyone looking to enhance their iPad experience.

    I love not having to worry about batteries. So easy to connect you just need to pull the top and grab a type c charger and plug the opposite end into iPad. Great for drawing, creating a new planner, etc.

    The Apple Pencil is easy to hold and soft to the touch. Compared to my old first gen pencil it is easier to charge as I comes with the charging port rather than an adapter so there is no chance of losing the small adapter like the Apple Pencil gen 1. It was so easy to pair to my air iPad M2 and it is easy to store as it attaches to the side of the iPad. The battery also last more then 1 week

    The apple pen is awesome for anyone who spends a lot of time on there iPad or who works from it. I personally use it at work a lot and it has definitely come in handy with editing on canva and writing faster during meetings. The apple pen is an awesome gadget and the life lasts FOREVER I had for over two months and I’ve only had to charge twice and I use it very often. I also love that the charger is the same as my iPad and its magnetic hardware attaché’s perfectly to my iPad case.

    Apple Pencil Review

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Apple Pencil is a top-tier stylus designed for Apple devices, offering precision and a natural drawing or writing experience. Its responsiveness is excellent, with virtually no lag, making it ideal for artists, designers, and note-takers. The pressure sensitivity allows for varying line thickness, mimicking traditional pencils. The design is sleek and comfortable to hold for extended periods. However, it's on the expensive side, and it only works with compatible Apple devices, limiting its use. The battery life is good, but charging can be inconvenient as the connector is fragile. Overall, it's a powerful tool for creatives but might be overkill for casual users.

    Plastic Stick, Premium Price

    Setup & Connectivity Pairing the Pencil via a USB-C–to–USB-C cable was a breeze—and it arrived pre-charged, so you could dig right in without fumbling with charging or setup. Notes & Markups Great for jotting down ideas in Notability or annotating PDFs—speedy and digitized as expected. Writing Feel: Slick, Not Sticky The surface is noticeably slippery—not the satisfying grit of a reMarkable Stylus or Kindle Scribe, which makes precision—or just comfortable writing—feel lacking. The body is plain plastic, with no grip to anchor your fingers, so you’re constantly compensating for the slickness. Value & Price At nearly five times what you feel it’s worth (you’d peg it closer to $15 than $69), it feels overpriced. Apple’s ecosystem pull is strong, but the cost still stings. Design & Ergonomics It’s simple plastic with a clean, minimal design. The flat side does at least keep it from rolling off the table, and it magnetically attaches to the side of the iPad, which is genuinely convenient. Still, there are zero ergonomic sweet spots, and unlike Kindle or reMarkable pens, there’s no intuitive “flip to erase” feature—so correcting mistakes feels less seamless. Final Verdict If you own an iPad, this is the default choice—mainly because there aren’t many alternatives. But if smooth friction, ergonomic grip, and intuitive erasing matter to you (and you’re price-aware), it’s hard to shake the feeling you’re paying extra for something that feels underwhelmingly basic.

    I am very happy with this apple pencil. It charges fast and is very easy to use with the ipad air i am renting from college. This was a pretty great purchase especially on short notice when i was not sure if it would work right away. Two months later it is still very repsonsive and easy to use, no lagging either. The only downside i see is that the tip seems to be wearing out already after the first 2 months. I do not know if this is typical for apple pencils or if i am overdoing it, since I do use it daily every week.
