The Good:
-Smoother writing
-Charging is done on the side of iPad and not through lightning
-Shorter and more compact
-Double tap setting is very convenient to go from writing to erasing
-Battery Charges seems about the same as version 1
The Bad:
-No extra tip
-Not cheap
The Bottom Line:
If you have a new iPad, then you should definitely get the Apple Pencil 2 since the writing is smoother and the charging is much easier by snapping it to the side of the iPad. While the Pencil isn’t cheap, it does work very well and I can’t imagine taking notes any other way. Overall I would recommend.

I am an amateur artist trying to learn how to do digital art. As someone who is used a pencil and paper, I have had a hard time transitioning to the new medium. However, this device has made it very easy for me to make the transition. If you’re a traditional artist trying to get into digital art, I would definitely recommend getting this.
I had the original Apple Pencil which I used primarily for writing, like most people. This pencil brought a few welcome upgrades, namely the double tap feature on the pencil to switch to eraser (which is a really nice touch, especially when taking notes), and finally the charging via magnetic attachment to the iPad.
It’s a little annoying to keep attached to the side of the iPad since it interferes with my grip. Similarly, when transporting the iPad, I tend to find myself putting the pencil in a case and not magnetically attached. It’s a little too vulnerable on the side otherwise.
Visually there seems to be not too much of a difference from the first release of the apple pencil but this iteration 2.0 is definitely worth the upgrade! Charging and connecting is so super easy now. The pencil reacts super well for drawing, sketching, drafting and to me as an interior architect especially well with autoCAD, morpholio and other drawing apps. The tab on the pen to bring the eraser to front makes my workflow so much more enjoyable. Although it doesn't seem like much that Apple has added one flat side to the overall round pencil design it makes such a huge difference in holding comfort. The fact that it attaches magnetically to the side of my iPad pro is super helpful as I don't have to look for the pencil any more. It is right were it belongs to be while not being in the way. Absolute buying recommendation if you are a heavy graphics designer or even just a casual user. It is also just a whole lot of fun to interact with the pencil on the iPad!
I love using my Apple Pencil 2, just am not a fan of the high price - especially when dropping $900 on the 11" iPad Pro. I wish Apple would throw it in or at least let you add it for 1/2 price at the time of purchase. It's such an essential tool, especially if you're a digital artist or like taking notes by hand rather than typing. As for apps that rock with this: Notability for note-taking and ProCreate for graphic design. Match made in heaven.

Pairs to the new iPad so easily and I love that it charges without having to be plugged in! Apple really listened to what we wanted changed and did it! As an artist, I love this so incredibly much
New, the box in perfect condition and unopened. Perfect functioning!
So far so good synced seamlessly with my iPad Pro and works great!! Fast shipping as well thank you!
Great Apple Pencil 2 condition, price and shipping as well.
I love how this one connects and charges on the new iPad. Feels a lot better and easer to hold as well. I haven't used it a lot to draw or anything like that but it has worked great for notes so far.
