The new Apple Pencil is sleek and lightweight compared to the previous version. Easily manageable. Purchased for my 12 year old son and he loves it. I am not as technologically adept as he is and I was very easily able to control the pen as well. Purchased for drawing fine details on IPad Pro.

Super fast shipping arrived a day earlier than expected. The pencil is something that's been on my "nice to have" list, but I never really expected to pay $100 for a stylus. Wow! Have I been missing out! I have a paper-feel glass protector on my iPad Pro and this works like a dream with no calibration to begin with. It's literally like I'm writing on a notepad. I have to be careful when I use the write to text feature because I'm a sloppy handwritten, but once I slow down and write like I was taught in grammar school, it makes the notes nice and neat for me.

Do not buy it from Walmart. Mine did not work and come to find out it was in totally different packaging than the next one I purchased from Best Buy. I thought my iPad was the issue and took it in to get it fixed til they informed me buying an Apple Pencil from Walmart was the mistake I made. %26 yes I bought the right one for my iPad.

Pencils came in true apple packaging. The price drop was amazing. I got the Apple Pencil 2 for the same price as the Apple Pencil 1. I would recommend getting this pencil if u have one of the newer generation iPads. Writes smooth and feels like a real pencil.

This is one of those: If I could give it zero stars I would. SAVE YOUR MONEY and buy something compatible, off brand, with good reviews. This Apple Pencil 2 is expensive junk. The only reason I could think of that someone would need this is if you are a professional or your ego needs the name brand (I was the latter). Bought this in August 2024 for my ipad air. Worked fine. January it fell off of the ipad and I didn't notice for a couple days. Tried to get it working again, but nope. I did suggestions on YouTube, nothing. I tried to take it to get repaired, the repair guy said no, wasn't worth it, that I needed to take it to an Apple store. Well, those aren't so easy to get to. Would cost way more for me to run around. Apple won't cover it because I bought it separately from my ipad. I bought the 2-yr extended warranty-- won't kick in until my Apple warranty runs out in a year (but again, can't get anybody to work with me on the Apple warranty). I literally just bought an amazing stylus off of Amazon and it is awesome.

I ordered this pencil and was given a delivery date two days later. Someone delivered it within a couple of hours. On a Sunday no less. Loving the pencil and the immediate service and delivery. Just adjusting to the pencil, but it works excellent so far. It was easy to pair to my new iPad. The person who delivered it even took a picture and sent it in email.

I have a $10 generic, and also this item. The build on the official Apple Pencil is clearly head and shoulders above the generic: Apple is trying to maintain a premium brand, and the generics are out to maximize profit while winning a low-price competition for consumers whose primary motivation is price. Pairing is great, charging and usage are seamless, and everything integrates just as great as every other Apple product you own. Its responsiveness is top-notch. The generic I have also charges wirelessly and attaches magnetically, and writes just fine. What does the Apple model add? Well, for one, it always activates immediately when picked up. (Sometimes the generic must be manually turned back on with the power button.). The Apple model also lets you double-tap the side of the pencil to switch between pen and eraser mode, a feature that is incredibly useful when taking notes. (The generic doesn't have this feature). The generic included an extra replaceable tip. The Apple model is slightly weightier and has a more premium Matte feel, plus an official Apple Logo. I'm fairly certain the generic has pressure sensitivity, though my use case is note-taking rather than art, so I can't comment as to specific performance difference. I purchased the Apple model on sale and with a coupon for $80, which to me seems obscenely expensive, nearly 9x as much as the $9.62 generic. If you are a professional or serious artist, I think it makes sense to have the best. If you are just using it for notes and annotation, you'd be crazy to spend the MSRP $129 on this gadget. If you can get it on sale somewhere in-between, it might become a judgment call. I haven't been using these long, so I won't speculate as to whether I will be glad of my purchase in another year. One thing I can say is this: the generic is at home with my iPad Air where my kids might use it, and the name-brand stays at work with my iPad Pro.

Fun to use, except battery is wonderful., Battery which was never great died in 16 months.. Dealing with Allstate for warranty coverage and I am now about three HOURS into the process between Allstate and Walmart issues. Battery is not replaceable so grateful I bought extended 3 year warranty/ hmm.

Loving the pencil so far. I also have used a 1st gen pencil, but always hated having the pencil sticking out from the end of the iPad while charging. I pretty much set the iPad and pencil down in a safe place to charge. Major improvement with the magnetic mount on the gen 2. I also like the double tap feature. Otherwise, like the gen 1, does what it's supposed to.

Purchased this for my daughter to complement a new iPad Air she was getting from us for Christmas. She really loves the pencil and it performs well for what she is using it for. She has not attempted to use any of the newer features on this model of the pencil but I am assuming that it will work great.
