- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 August 2024Apple Pencil 2 is a superb device! I just got this item and it paired and charged effortlessly with my iPad mini 6.
Build quality is fantastic. You can feel the premium nature of this stylus, from the feel of the plastic, to its weight and balance in the hand. The tip appears robust and is designed such that it has only a little resistant on iPad screen while not making too much of a tap noise while writing.
The usability of Apple Pencil is superb in iPad OS. The pencil can be used to navigate iPad screen outside of apps. Inside apps such as notes, and other specific apps that allow pencil input, it works flawlessly. Latency and accuracy are imperceptible and perfect respectively. Functionalities such as double tap on pencil to change selection of pen or eraser is a nice touch. Pressure sensitivity, angle response are as expected.
The pencil attaches magnetically to side of iPad for storage and charging and draws minimal charge from iPad. Charging is rapid… within seconds you have a usable stylus from flat.
The Apple Pencil requires Bluetooth to be active to remain paired… if switched off the pencil needs to be repaired by enabling Bluetooth and attaching to side of iPad. This is the one big advantage over the cheaper USBC version:.. pairing is so much easier and does not require cable connection.
If you can get this on sale sub 100 pound, I’d say it’s worth it over the USBC version.
My Apple Pencil came with a charge of 60 percent so it seems this hasn’t been lying around in stock too long.
All in all a superb device. I’ll update as I continue using it.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 October 2024The Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) has been a game changer for my iPad Air.
It's perfect for note-taking, sketching, and editing with incredible precision while I was mainly using it for uni. The magnetic attachment and wireless charging make it super convenient. It feels natural in hand and adds so much functionality to my workflow.
Really try not to press too hard tho on your screens like I did..... but that's not the pen's fault XD
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 August 2023The Apple Pencil 2 is an absolute game-changer for anyone who loves to create, sketch, or take notes on their iPad. From the moment I started using it, I was blown away by its seamless performance and incredible precision.
The design of the Apple Pencil 2 is sleek and elegant. Its matte finish provides a comfortable grip, and the absence of any charging cables or connectors makes it incredibly convenient to use. The magnetic attachment to the iPad Pro is a genius feature that not only securely holds the pencil in place but also charges it wirelessly. This means no more worrying about losing or misplacing charging caps.
But it's the performance that truly sets the Apple Pencil 2 apart. The pressure sensitivity and tilt recognition are so accurate that it truly feels like you're using a real pencil or brush. Whether I'm sketching intricate details or shading in broad strokes, the Pencil responds effortlessly to my movements, making the creative process feel natural and intuitive.
The responsiveness of the Pencil on the iPad's display is remarkable. There's virtually no lag between my strokes and their appearance on the screen, which is crucial for maintaining the flow of creativity. The palm rejection technology also works like a charm, allowing me to rest my hand on the screen without any accidental marks.
Another standout feature is the double-tap gesture, which can be customized to perform various functions. I've set mine to switch between the pencil and eraser modes, which has streamlined my workflow and made the creative process even more efficient.
Battery life is impressive. A quick charge gives you hours of use, and the fact that you can easily check the Pencil's battery status from the iPad's Control Center is a small but thoughtful touch.
Whether you're an artist, designer, student, or someone who simply enjoys taking handwritten notes, the Apple Pencil 2 is an investment that pays off in spades. Its seamless integration, exceptional performance, and thoughtful design make it an indispensable tool for unleashing your creativity on the iPad. If you're serious about your digital creations, this is definitely the stylus to have.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 December 2024Well I bought the Apple Pencil 2 just over a year ago and it looked a very nice bit of kit albeit over the top Apple prices. But it had not been used for a few months and wanted to use it again but it failed to work despite following troubleshooting steps on Apple website which eventually suggested contacting Apple. So rang them who checked when it was bought and confirmed it was just out of warranty and that I would have to pay more than the original cost to get it repaired. No help what so ever! Then I decide to chat to Amazon and told them of Apples sloppy atitude and they were absolutely Amazing and asked for me to return it to them for a full refund. Bravo Amazon this is unbelievabley awesome service ( pity Apple did not offer the same) they have gone downhill over past 10 years!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 February 2024It is the best pencil but probably not value for money. The ones that are like £30-40 are not like 3-4 times worse than this one, but if you can get it for a deal, like prime days or black Friday, then I would say it is definitely worth double the other pencils out there. No fiddling around with it, snap it to the side and it just connects and works, and I can quickly snap it to either of my iPads and use it no resetting the bluetooth or trying to get it to pair, it just works. There are loads of reviews out there for this so I will just say that if it is on sale and you think you will use it, this is the best option.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 February 2025Works great except it’s hard to maintain clean. Great battery life, can be used all day long without charging.

5.0 out of 5 stars Toller Apple Pencil – Sehr empfehlenswert
Der Apple Pencil der 2. Generation ist eine großartige Ergänzung für mein iPad. Die Verbindung und das Laden sind einfach, da er magnetisch am iPad befestigt wird. Die Genauigkeit ist fantastisch, was ihn perfekt für Zeichnen, Schreiben und Notizen macht.
Er liegt gut in der Hand und fühlt sich sehr natürlich an, fast wie ein echter Stift.
Vorteile:
Einfaches Laden und Verbindung.
Sehr präzise und reaktionsschnell.
Komfortables Design.
Nachteile:
Nur kompatibel mit bestimmten iPad-Modellen.
Höherer Preis im Vergleich zu anderen Stiften.
Insgesamt eine hervorragende Wahl für Künstler und alle, die ihr iPad optimal nutzen möchten.
