What Wacom has to tell us, I'll tell you one thing, the experience is on another level if you're a designer, it's the ultimate design tool in 2D and 3D and that rubber tip simply doesn't exist....It gets a perfect 10 with flying colors. The material, weight, texture, balance, and the tip that doesn't wear out, and the magnetic connection is something else...If you're thinking of getting it...get it with your eyes closed, it's the tool we've been waiting for 25 years!! 5/5!! And it's incredibly durable with an awesome design...it has spare tips even though they're not needed often...I've had it for 5 months and it's still perfect and they're easy to replace. As for durability...yes, it's very durable without parts like the Wacom pen that breaks if it falls.
UPDATE/ After 2 years and 6 months of use, the tip works perfectly and hasn't worn out at all..!! Well done, Apple!!
The second Apple Pencil gen2 that I am getting for my second iPad. If you use the iPad Pro for professional use, its own pencil is a must-have. If you have it for occasional use, there are cheaper, compatible pencils available.
The best accessory for the iPad!! For those who are not sure, think about how it is useful almost everywhere: Design, social, note taking, etc. Be careful with falls as the tips break very easily and need to be replaced after a fall.
As an Apple product, it’s of high quality!
Made to last!
It works fine, connects seamlessly with my iPad and doesn’t disconnect until it runs out of battery (which is very rare - cause it will last long enough for most users).
The 4 stars are given only because it doesn’t come with a user manual (or even a short description) and if one does not know how to use it (like myself) cannot take advantage of its full potential.
I will return in time with an update, when I explore more of its features!
Very good build quality, feels great in the hand, etc. However, it consumes a lot of battery from the iPad Air 5 even when not in use as it wirelessly charges while in the magnetic position.
Great for someone who will do designs or even some diagrams or just to take notes. Its battery is fully satisfactory as it lasts for several hours and its charging is done by simply placing it in the special position that your iPad has.
Finally, its pairing is equally fast and easy as all you have to do is put it in the above special position and you're ready!
The classic top-notch experience one expects from Apple. Quality construction and lightning-fast response. With the right note-taking app on the iPad (see GoodNotes), you can do wonders. Its battery has incredible autonomy. After several hours of reading (6-7), of course, it will run out, but with a 1-minute charge, it immediately recovers a large percentage of charge that will give you at least +1 hour of use. If you leave it for 3-4 minutes, it will easily charge up to 50-75%. CAUTION only for vertical drops on the floor. It won't break, but with a fall from (desk height), it's enough to break the plastic nib, and their cost is excessively high (4 nibs for 29 euros - and without the possibility of finding something cheaper of the same quality). So trust its quality, but be careful with falls. That's all from me!
From the first one, I went to the second one! It's undeniable that it's much better in every way, even though it works on other devices, which means better screens of course... The charging has freed up my hands and it's always full whenever I need it... Unfortunately, in English, it doesn't "turn out as well" in handwriting as it does in regular letters, and I'm trying to make it work...
It does exactly what one expects from a Stylus and works well with the iPad - writing feels natural. It requires a compatibility check before purchasing as it is not compatible with all iPads. I believe it could be priced lower. We will see how long the tip lasts.
I believe that any review is meaningless, as it cannot be compared to any other stylus that is not from Apple. It belongs to the Apple ecosystem. It wirelessly charges on the iPad, with all battery indicators and settings. Also, it is a one-way street if someone wants to draw on the iPad.
I used the Apple Pencil 1 on older iPad Pros and was very satisfied. The same applies to the second-generation pencil, with the following changes:
-Shape (has a flat side)
-Wireless charging with magnetic connection on the iPad
-Touch button to open a menu in the programs you use
(e.g. I have it set to open a color palette in design programs with every touch)
I recommend purchasing a rubber cover if you use it on a daily basis, to make the shaft thicker and more comfortable to hold.
With Procreate as its ultimate tool, anyone can create any design they can imagine on the iPad Pro. In other words, the iPad Pro becomes a graphic design machine in your hands. Without the Apple Pencil, having an iPad is not worth it.
Apple. It's perfect. What else to say. The only thing is that when you write, it slips on the screen, but you can get special tips to make it feel more like a pencil. Ok.
Update: I bought from abroad a tip made of leather and I found my health. It doesn't make noise, it doesn't stick on the screen when in use, it doesn't lose sensitivity, the only thing is that the tip becomes relatively thick with it. But it doesn't bother me. Of course, if you want to draw with this tip and you need precision, then it doesn't work. The guy who makes and sells them is very nice, and he also sends a gift. I have been using the first one I bought for 2 years.
For digital art, its price is very competitive, as similar Wacom pens cost 100/150€. It's incredible for note-taking as well, but if you only use it for notes, the price is slightly high.
Obviously, the best choice for an iPad, but if you want to save some money, Logitech in collaboration with Apple makes a cheaper pen :)
This (magical) feature that characterizes the Apple Pencil is indeed good... but not miraculous. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's not good, I'm saying it's not miraculous. Firstly, you need to think if you really need it, because 110 euros is not a small amount. If you really need it, you should learn some things about it. This is the reason why I'm doing this review. I'll start with the positives:
1) It's very accurate, which means it's precise.
2) It's very fast.
3) It pairs very quickly, which means it connects easily with devices.
4) Very good construction and quality.
Now the negatives are not very significant, they are mainly details:
1) It doesn't have the feel of paper when you touch it to write or draw something, which doesn't bother me, but I think if some of you want it for drawing, then you can find some special glass.
OVERALL, VERY GOOD.
Very good. I mainly use it for digital art. Very fast and comfortable. The only downside is that it requires a case directly because the tip can easily break (for which there are replacements). Overall, it is one of the best pens I have tried.
The nose will easily deform in the first fall, and over time it will begin to malfunction, which is unacceptable! ...but why would you like it?
2. You need it very much for selecting letters, words, or sentences in text editing, music, video and graphics where the work environment is small.
———————————————————
If it doesn't respond:
1) Turn on Bluetooth.
2) Make sure the tip is screwed on.
Screenshot with APPLE PENCIL:
Drag the pencil diagonally across the screen.
———————————————————
WARNING:
1) A fall from 1 meter will deform the tip, causing it to malfunction.
2) BUY SILICONE TIPS: To avoid deformation of the tip, which greatly helps with the sensation of writing and drawing. (For better application, use stick glue for paper, NOT LIQUID, on the tip of the pen and place the silicone tip on top.)
3) If you are considering buying a cheaper pen, make sure it is 100% compatible with the device and will work without problems when you touch the edge of the palm on the screen.
———————————————————
Conclusion:
I would buy a cheaper pencil if I knew there was a substitute that is magnetically attached, charges on the IPad, and rejects palm rejection when writing or drawing so as not to smudge my work.
Until then, I would buy this one again...
Random tip of the day:
In the summer to cool off, have the fan blow on your feet, which are the parts of the body with the highest temperature output - MERRY TREISMAS band.
I mainly use it for notes and to edit files for work. I wouldn't say I'm a high-end user in terms of usage, but I'm completely satisfied with what I do. Now I don't touch pens and do everything with the pencil on my iPad. The battery is amazing, it has great autonomy and of course, the fact that it sticks to the iPad is incredibly useful and convenient!
I have had it for 10 months now for online teaching. Writing on the iPad pro with the Apple Pencil 2 is incomparable to any other pen or stylus like the Wacom bamboo, for example. It's worth every penny. I haven't had to change the tip in 10 months despite using it regularly. It's best used with apps like Goodnotes or Notability.
I got the package with the iPad Pro for handwritten notes, image editing, and maybe freehand sketches and I just have no words. It elevates the experience!
Although it has only been operating for a few hours, I have only good things to say. As a Note 10+ owner, in comparison to many similarities and some differences that I believe will be covered over time.
I've had it for half a week and I haven't regretted it. It's magical. It converts your drawings into letters on any compatible device, such as the iPad Air 2020 or the iPad Pro 2020. A good program to use with it is Jumboard and Sketches. I hope this helps.
Attention, it is not compatible with all Apple models as it should (at least with the new models). It is the first thing you should see! I have no opinion on the product because I have never worked with it due to incompatibility!
The weak point is the tip of the nose which is very sensitive, so one must always buy a set of tips (25-30 euros) from the beginning and have them with them at all times.
Excellent construction and very comfortable to use. It only connects to iPad Pro 2018 (as of 10-03-2020), 11 inches and 12.9 inches.
I use it with the 11 and I am very satisfied. It connects to the iPad via a magnet on the flat side of the pencil and on the tablet with the magnet on the side. It even charges this way.
The magnet is quite strong and I have never had the pencil come off the side of the tablet.
I leave it there permanently and it has never bothered me.
The connection to the tablet is very fast and has a nice animation.
The battery life is very good. I use it for graphic design and product design, buildings, as well as for taking notes and quick sketches.
I can work continuously for 6-7 hours and the pencil battery may have dropped to 40-50%.
I never have to stop my work and reading to charge it. And I'm sure that if you leave the pencil on the tablet when you're not using it, you won't have any problems with the pencil either.
Just be sure to check that the pencil is compatible with your tablet before purchasing.
If you have the iPad Pro 2018, it's 100€ that you won't regret spending. Even if you don't draw!
Ease of use, excellent connectivity, durability against drops, and exceptional attention to detail in design and writing. Essential if you want to fully utilize the capabilities of the iPad.
