Nov 8, 2025I got this to replace my old first-gen Apple Pencil that finally gave out
I got this to replace my old first-gen Apple Pencil that finally gave out. It works fine for basic stuff like taking notes and marking up PDFs. The pairing was easy and it charges quick. But I was kinda disappointed that there's no pressure sensitivity. I'm not even an artist or anything, but I noticed right away that my handwriting looks different without it, like the lines are all the same thickness. Also the lack of wireless charging is a bummer for the price. I mean I know it's cheaper than the Pro but still. It feels like they cut too many corners. The pencil itself feels good quality and the battery life is decent. I just wish I had spent a little more for the Pro honestly.
Pros- Easy setup, - Good battery life, - USB-C charging is nice
Cons- No pressure sensitivity, - No wireless charging, - Cap is easy to misplace
Would not recommend this product
