I am literally blown away! There was nothing wrong with my factory Apple Pencil. I bought it new many years ago with my Generation 7 iPad. I do a lot of digital art and coloring and my tips have worn out after many, many years of use. I came across this Stylus aftermarket Apple Pencil for only $9.99 and it came with 4 new tips, not including the one on the pencil. After reading the reviews, I couldn’t help but buy it. It was cheaper than buying just the Factory Apple Tips and I was curious to see how this $10 Stylus Pencil measured up to the factory Apple Pencil that I paid a fortune for many years ago.
I received it the next day and opened it up immediately. The first thing I noticed was it looked identical to my white factory Apple Pencil, but just a tiny bit shorter by only 1/4 of an inch. It was extremely light weight and felt very comfortable in my hand. I double tapped the very top of it to turn it on and it lit right up, but I wanted to charge it properly first to make sure all three blue lights were lit. It charged really quick just like my factory Apple Pencil and it responded immediately to my iPad! I found its performance much quicker than my factory Apple Pencil. I couldn’t even believe my eyes!! There was absolutely no difference in the feeling between my Apple Pencil and this Stylus pencil, but the stylist pencil performed better and quicker, and felt more comfortable in my hand!
Here is the real banger that impressed me! Because I needed tips for my factory Apple Pencil, I was curious to see if these tips would work on it. I put one on and sure enough it fit like a glove and it worked beautifully! I feel like I got the deal of a lifetime, extra tips for my factory Apple Pencil and a brand new Stylus Pencil that works better than my Apple!!!
Just a little FYI. After a few minutes, my new Stylus pencil stopped working. I was so excited initially I failed to read the directions. If you’re currently using a factory Apple Pencil or any other Bluetooth pencil, make sure you go to your Blue Tooth settings and click “forget this device”. After I did that, the pencil started working beautifully again. The Stylus pencil does not run on Bluetooth, but it will have interference if you don’t remove your previous pencils. I guess it can only recognize one at a time, even though this isn’t a Bluetooth device. Anyway, I’m the happiest person ever!! If that sale is still going on, I’m going to buy more! Totally worth it, especially for the tips that also work with the Factory Apple Pencil:)
