How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsIt's easy to use
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 25, 2023
The Apple Pencil Gen 2 is a game-changer for digital artists and note-takers alike. It's a sleek and elegant stylus that offers precise and responsive performance.

One of the most notable features of the Apple Pencil Gen 2 is its magnetic charging capability. Simply attach it to the side of your iPad Pro or iPad Air, and it will start charging. This eliminates the need for a separate charging cable, making it much more convenient to use on the go.

The Pencil's pressure sensitivity and tilt detection are also impressive, providing an incredibly natural writing and drawing experience. It offers a low latency, which means that the strokes you make appear on the screen almost instantaneously, making it feel as though you're using a traditional pen or pencil.

The build quality of the Apple Pencil Gen 2 is top-notch. It has a glossy finish that's comfortable to hold and doesn't slip out of your hand. Its slender design makes it easy to grip and navigate with precision, and it weighs in at a mere 20.7 grams, so it won't cause any fatigue during extended use.

Another great feature of the Apple Pencil Gen 2 is its compatibility with a wide range of third-party apps. Whether you're sketching in Procreate, taking notes in GoodNotes, or marking up a PDF in Notability, the Pencil works seamlessly with many popular apps.

One minor downside of the Apple Pencil Gen 2 is its price point, which is on the higher side. However, it's worth the investment if you're a professional artist or someone who regularly takes digital notes and wants the best quality and experience.

Overall, the Apple Pencil Gen 2 is a fantastic stylus that's perfect for anyone looking for precision, convenience

3.0 out of 5 starsMuch better…
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 23, 2023
… but still a LONG way to go!

The flat area on the pencil was a master stroke of genius. Improving comfort in the hand and recharging at the same time. Excellent!

As a person with big hands, my comfort level when using is still not high. Let me explain, a tool should feel comfortable in your hand. It should be an extension, a natural extension of yourself. Using a tool should be a value added exercise every time you grab for the that tool. Because of the comfort, the tool becomes fundamental to your personal excellence and brand.

First Gen Apple Pencil, was good, but had issues. Second Gen Apple Pencil is better. Look to the fundamentals of comfort, and I expect great things in the Third Gen Apple Pencil!

5.0 out of 5 stars Upgrade to Apple Pencil 2nd Generation
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 24, 2023
Verified Purchase
I am an early adopter of technology so when the first Apple Pencil was released I purchased an iPad to use specifically for it. The biggest complaint for me was that the pencil was cylindrical and really had no tactile feel or grip. It worked fine, but was awkward to hold for long use. With the new 2nd Generation Apple Pencil, they at least addressed this issue, as it has more of a feel to it. I purchased for use with my iPad Pro 11" tablet and the cool thing is that the pencil is magnetic and attaches to the iPad and charges at the same time, pretty handy. I haven't had a lot of time with it yet, so I will update after I get some time under my belt with this tool, but so far am impressed overall.

4.0 out of 5 stars Too skinny and slippery.
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 10, 2023
Verified Purchase
I use my big iPad to display sheet music when I play. There's a lot of marking (annotating) involved: writing in bowings, expression marks, little reminders to yourself. The wonderful thing about this 2nd gen pencil is that you can double tap the side of it to switch between writing and erasing. That's a huge time saver for a musician. The induction charging and pairing is both a plus and a negative. You no longer have to mess with cords or easily lost female to female adapters, but if you have a protective case around your iPad, you may have to peel away the edge of your case to expose the side of the ipad for positive connection with the pen. With my case, it's an ongoing problem.

Biggest issue, it's way to skinny and slippery. Not at all comfortable to hold. But I can't put a wrap around it or it'll mess up the contact with iPad. Apple seems to have this forever issue of form winning out over function.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing! Worth it. Buy replacement tips.
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 14, 2023

Love my Apple Pencil. So much so that when I lost it I had to immediately get a replacement. The tips are easy to damage if you are clumsy like me and drop things from time to time. A 4 pack of replacement tips is only like $20. Also, it sticks well to the iPad with the internal magnets but if you are on the go a lot I suggest keeping a close eye on it as it easily comes off.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best 'stylus' ever!
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 22, 2023

Took notes with this all weekend. It actually does what you want and expect it to do. The screen protector hasn't seemed to impede its functionality at all. Battery lasts all day and more. Doesn't overtax the tablet's battery. Options for text, pen & marker size, color, instrument settings etc are versatile and what you'd hope for as well.

Amazon doesn’t disappoint. The apple pen I received from them works better and has lasted longer than the pen I bought from target. Don’t waste your time going to the store just order here and save yourself the money and effort looking for the pen somewhere else.
