I wanted to get it. In fact I was on my way to get it. Until I open the Apple Store app and read so much negative reviews regarding the battery problem.

Anyone of u guys experience any charging or battery issues after having it for over 6 months?

I guess if most usage does not involve drawing, scribbling or taking notes, the Pencil is rather of no use.

Saw people posting the battery will last around 5~6 hours of continuous usage. With that small body frame, I guess it is good enough.

I bought one 2 weeks back, have it full charge, used for only a few times like less than 45 mins. Left it in the Leather Sleeve for a week+. Last night check still have 26%. Poke it in the ipad, around 2~4mins, the battery life shows around 60%. Thus I guess it is quite good enough for a simple user like me. Whether if the tip spoils easily or battery cannot charge up, can only update again 6 months later.

Saw many alternatives to Apple pencil. Did anyone got those and try?

I sketches and take notes during conferences/meetings. So it is pretty worth it for me.

Unless you enjoy drawing or taking down notes; that would allow you to get the full potential of the pencil.

I had in initially, but didn't use much . Pass to my partner and she uses it all the time .

So it really depends on your usage of it


Can't find a good reason to buy

It’s a good investment though it’s a little steep. Also, you can use the Apple Pencil to take notes, make annotations and etc.

There’s Notability, PDF Expert which works reliably with the Apple Pencil.
