Should I Buy It?
Given the overwhelmingly positive reviews, the Apple Pencil (1st Generation) is a strong investment for anyone seeking to enhance their iPad experience. Whether as an artist, student or any regular user, the Apple Pencil delivers precision, responsiveness and seamless integration that gives users enhanced control and productivity, truly elevating the iPad into a multi-functional tool. The minor discomfort encountered during extended usage can be easily solved with external grips. If the goal is precision, productivity and creativity, the Apple Pencil is a fantastic choice.
It’s been a while since I bought this pen and I have no complaints at all. It works perfectly with my iPad 10th gen. It’s really easy and smooth to use. The tip works fine and the battery life is amazing, very durable. Great value for the money you pay.

I'm in love, the Apple Pencil (with the iPad Pro) is worlds above my old iPad and regular stylus (I had a herd of fancy styluses but they all had their drawbacks). In fact I was almost afraid to upgrade to the pro/pencil, I was worried that it would be just as much of a letdown as my other styluses (I do like the pencil by 53, it's a very nice stylus for non-pro iPads, and it's beautiful to look at, but still not perfect) I like the hard tip, it makes a satisfying click on the iPad surface when in use, it's not a big, hollow, squishy tip. It has a good weight to it, very easy to hold and use. Stylus tip easily screws on or off for changing. I use it for typing, scrolling, tapping links, turning pages in the kindle app, not just sketching. There is barely any lag or parallax, no jitter when going slow. It's the closest thing to drawing on paper that I've experienced (granted, extremely expensive, glassy paper, but pretty dang close). Palm rejection is excellent, though not 100%, you get the odd stray mark here and there. It's especially good for clicking little fiddly dropdowns on webpages that fat fingers can find tricky. Battery life isn't crazy long, I usually charge it once a day, it's handy to be able to pull down the notifications and see the battery strength in the Pencil. The actual pencil is super slippery smooth plastic. It's like the white plastic on the back of my iPhone 5C, very glossy and slick. The little bits that come with the pencil are tiiiiiiiny, the end cap and lightning adapter are about the size of small vitamins. For sure grab one of those little accessory packs they sell on Amazon that have silicon tethers to keep track. The one I got on Amazon was about five bucks, it has a tether that holds the end cap to the end of the pencil while charging, and one to hold the Lightning adaptor to a charging cable. (It also has a rubber cap to protect the business end while not in use, it's a bit bulky though) Could use an eraser end, but you get used to just hitting the eraser tool. Anyway, if you're looking to get an iPad pro and you do a lot of writing or drawing the pencil is the way to go. If you aren't really a heavy note-taker or art-maker, then a regular stylus would work well enough. Update 5 months in- I still love this thing, I use it probably 90% of the time, except where it requires multi-touch gestures. It's had pretty heavy daily use and I haven't had to change the tip yet. I charge it about once a day, and contrary to my early fears I haven't catastrophically broken it by charging it on the iPad (which takes like 10 minutes, super fast) I haven't lost the little bits yet, but I've had some close calls with the end cap. I use it mainly with the Sketchbook (from autodesk) and Pixelmator apps and it is pretty awesome. I did the four fairy illustrations printed on the pictured tote using the Pencil on a Pro 12.9" with Sketchbook and Pixelmator.

First thing I noticed was that the Pencil is smooth and looked like it could slip from my hand, (which it didn't) but it sure can role, so make sure it's not on a slanting surface, or better yet, get a case with a pencil holder on the inside cause this feels and looks fragile. As for the butt cover, it is magnetic so I don't worry about it falling out (which I initially thought lol). Despite it's very slippery looking features, it is quite easy to grip and it comes with an extra point and an adapter. The point doesn't seem rubbery, more like a smooth, rubber like coated, plastic. Basically, it's really hard but is silent to very low on sound when you're using it on a screen, so its very unlikely to make noise to disturb you or persons around you unless you tap hard on the screen. It's heavier than an ordinary pen or pencil but it doesn't affect my writing or drawing. It's hardly noticeable when you start using it so you get use to it pretty fast. It doesn't lag one bit so it's safe to say it 'feels natural' for drawing and writing. For paring, you just insert it into the iPad charging pot and it asks you to pair, you accept the pairing and it pairs until you cut off the Bluetooth from the settings area. For charging, it's a bit awkward though, cause this looks like an accident ready to happen. My advise is to put it somewhere that it can't be disturbed cause it doesn't look safe to just leave around when charging. In the flip side, it charges super fast so the fact that the pencil loses power during rest mode, doesn't affect the whole user experience. From my experience, it doesn't die out quickly. I can write for a considerable amount of time and still not have to worry about it dying on me, (but it does warn you on the Ipad so it won't be a surprise) and even on low percentage (15 percent), it can still give you a good bit of time (maybe 20-30 minutes) to wrap up before it really needs a charge. Again, super charge, why take the risk right? 10 seconds gives you an extra 30 mins man! I also like that it barely upsets the ipad's charge either. I once charged my ipad to 100 percent, placed my dead pencil in to charge, come back a few minutes later and the pencil was 100% while the ipad was still 100%. What I don't like is that it takes forever to charge the pencil directly off the wall. If you want a fast charge, use your iPad. In other words, it may be pricey but the experience makes up for it. I doubt anyone who has a properly working pencil will regret it.

Having used the Apple Pencil (1st Generation) for both art and work tasks, I'm consistently impressed by its precision and reliability. The pressure and tilt sensitivity make shading, sketching, and handwriting feel natural—it's as close to pen and paper as I've found on a tablet. Palm rejection on iPad is flawless, letting me rest my hand without accidental marks. The Pencil's build is sturdy and the tip lasts far longer than I expected, even with heavy daily use. Charging is straightforward—even though newer models have more elegant charging solutions, the magnetic cap and included adapter still work reliably. Performance is lag-free across supported apps, whether you're designing graphics, annotating PDFs, or taking notes. The connection is instantaneous with supported iPads, and I love that there's essentially zero setup—just pair and go. For professionals, students, and hobbyists, the Apple Pencil unlocks the iPad's creative and productivity potential. If you want guaranteed accuracy and seamless integration with iPad, the 1st-gen Apple Pencil remains a top investment. Highly recommended for anyone who values drawing and note-taking accuracy!

So, I don't tend to be the type who needs to try every new gadget, or upgrade every year. I have an ipad mini, I've had ipad minis ever since they came out, and I love them. I received a new one for christmas and it has pencil capabilities, so when I also received an amazon gift card I figured I'd try the pencil out and see if it's of any use for me. I had hoped to play DrawSomething with my husband, perhaps, or use it for a coloring book app. I find that it does work very well for both of those - coloring apps have suddenly become very desirable and fun for me, I wish Pigment didn't cost so much per year! But the really surprising thing is that I find myself using it for everything I do on my ipad from browsing to playing stardew valley. I have really bad hand issues and pain, and I find that being able to use the pencil, which is so lightweight and very well balanced, really really helps me. I can hold and use it in almost any hand position, and it's light enough that I don't have to have a death grip on it and cramp my hand. It's a total game changer for me, I can continue using my ipad hours past when I normally would've had to give it up and sit there doing nothing with my hands due to the pain. It's honestly the best $100 I've spent in a long time, huge quality of life boost for me. I know some folks hate that the charging is a bit awkward on these - but mine came with an adapter so I can use it with any regular lightning cable. Mine holds a charge for about two days of 4+ hours steady use each day, if not more. It charges from about 30% to full in under an hour. I got a little set of silicone helpers for it - one caps the tip for carrying it around, the other slides onto the end of the pencil and then onto the charging cap to keep it from getting lost. Very helpful for me! Overall, I couldn't be happier with this and am really excited to have it.

I'm relatively happy with this pencil. It is certainly better than many of the off-brands claiming to do the same thing. There are a few things I don't love, so I will get those out of the way first. The pencil in perfectly rounded and very slick, so it is a danger that it will roll away or fall from the desk or other surface you are using it at, unlike the Logitech Crayon. As a comparison, this pencil is much more comfortable to hold than the Crayon, but it feels more breakable. I also don't love that the extra charging piece (converter) that you get is so tiny, as is the cap, since that makes me feel like I am always in danger of losing these small parts off of the counter where they charge. (If you have kids, then you know what I mean about things sprouting legs and disappearing.) Otherwise, I love it. This pencil is highly responsive to the touchscreen of the ipad (I'm using the 6th gen) and it works great with note taking apps, beautifully with procreate, and also as a general scrolling tool or selection pointer. The battery lasts for a decent while and I am happy that there is now a way to charge it, without having to have the pencil sticking out the bottom of the ipad, as that just seemed like a recipe for disaster. The pencil feels like it is made of good quality materials. it is heavy, but not obtrusively so, and the points are nice. The pencil feels sturdy to the grip ad like it isn't cheaply manufactured as some of the other pencils do. This is more than just your average stylus. Although, I admit, when I first saw the price I thought it was a bit ridiculous, after owning this product for a while, I now see the difference between it and the competitors and I do believe it was worth the investment. Plus, you can order tips for it directly from amazon for a reasonable price, which, in my opinion makes it even more worth the money. I have had a hard time finding tips for the crayon without going to the logitech site or other outside sources. I prefer to do all my shopping at once, so this works for me. I would definitely recommend this product to other ipad users, as it has changed the way I work for the positive and sped up my productivity. It was easy to connect, the packaging is beautiful as always, and the instructions were clear and helpful. I find myself becoming more and more attached to Apple products as time goes on.

It was cheaper when I bought it and it works really well
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2026 by Jada
I recently got an iPad for school. I go through tons of notebooks as I’m an avid note taker so I wanted a more ecofriendly alternative. After looking at reviews I originally decided to get a cheaper alternative to the Apple Pencil. It was good for tapping and scrolling, but it was rough to take a lot of notes. I knew it wouldn’t work during lectures where I have to write fast so I finally decided to give the Apple Pencil a try. Worst thing I just return it. I got the pencil quickly and immediately took to GoodNotes 5 to test my handwriting and compare it to a cheaper alternative. Instantly I knew the Apple Pencil was superior. I don’t have a screen protector so the writing was super smooth and effortless. Its sensitive so you don’t need to press hard, but not too sensitive you’re getting accidental marks on your document when the stylus gets too close to the screen. I don’t draw so I can’t say much on that, but after some trial notes I can say this is a really amazing stylus especially if you like to take “pretty” notes. There are a few things I’m not too big a fan of, however. For starters, it’s a very smooth pen. It looks beautiful and sleek but it’s hard to write for a long time and it gets painful. I’ve poured a ton of money into this switch to digital notes and it looks like I’m not done. I’ve seen some videos of people recommending a silicon grip cover for the pencil which is beginning to look like a must have. The last thing is the magnet. Supposedly the Apple Pencil can connect to the side of the iPad via magnet and stay while you’re not using it. The magnet is very weak and I would never trust it to actually stay on my iPad. It’ll be nice to keep the stylus from rolling away when you’re not using it, but I think I’ll be looking for somewhere else to store it. In addition you will need to replace the tip of it eventually. I haven’t had to yet, but it does come with 1 spare tip. Additional ones can be bought at Apple. Overall, I will always recommend this stylus especially if you need features like pressure sensitivity, but keep in mind you may also need a silicon cover and potentially a matte screen protector (if you want it to feel like paper). If you’re not someone who writes or draws often and are just looking for a basic stylus to tap, scroll, and occasionally jot down notes I would save your money and go for a cheaper alternative. Pros: Pressure sensitive Great for notes Accurate Cons: Weak magnet (could be my iPads issue though) Hard to hold after long periods of time Can be costly in the long run
