I found a cheap Apple Pencil off marketplace but found this video just before picking it up, and saved myself 90 bucks because it turned out to be a fake. Thank you so much ❤
Wow, thank you so much! The one I received from eBay just now is 100% exactly the same as your fake here in this video, down to having the exact same serial number printed on the box label! You just saved me $60!

Great video! Another way you can spot a fake apple pencil is removing the tip and looking inside the pencil, you will see a serial number, if the serial number from the box matches with the one on the pencil and has coverage in apple’s website it’s most likely original
Very nice video, I liked how detailed it was. I was almost thinking that I had gotten a fake Apple Pencil 2 from Amazon last year, but it's a legit one. All the tests for the original apply. The thing that made me double think it's real pedigree is that my pencil box wasn't wrapped in plastic. It only has the plastic seals on the ends of the box. But it was sealed. Again, awesome video! 5 👍👍👍👍👍
Bought mine in a third party store. It has some of the features from the fake one but it’s authentic and got the confirmation from the apple. I think it just differs from one country to another. But make sure it has all the features of the original one :) mine doesn’t have the mark behind the pencil, it also has the line on the top and the box looks similar to the fake one. However the other pencil text on the top looks like the original one, has all the options on the settings, also see the battery when i connect it to the ipad, have double tapping, pressure sensitivity and other features of an authentic pencil 😊 so don’t panic and just call the apple support.
i have a fake one, just like that. is there any way i can connect it to my ipad 10? i know the real apple pencil gen 2 isnt compatible with this model but i really need to work and i can't afford to buy a gen 1 yet so i was hoping that, maybe, there was some way i could use the fake pencil
You can use it - I used mine for a few hours before realizing it was fake. If you don't care about pressure/double-tap and you just want a pointing device to replace your finger, it works, but 1. I think you have to connect bluetooth manually and 2. The battery charging and bluetooth association is very inconsistent, it doesn't always charge and it frequently reboots the connection taking over the screen and not allowing you to do anything for 30 seconds. So I'd say it's not necessarily worth the trouble. But yeah I will probably keep my fake one around as a backup since there's no way I can sell it and it's not COMPLETELY useless. Just make sure you write "FAKE" on the box.
Hi I want a help my Apple Pencil 2 was broken by its tip but the other functions are there like pressure control and the charging A part of tip is stuck inside How can I correct this 😢
I bought my Apple Pencil 2 straight from Apple Store in Delaware and it shows the exact same functions as the fake one. I don’t have settings as detailed as yours. My end cap is also identical to the fake one. Mind you I purchased this pencil as soon as it was released. I think Apple made a design change to the Apple Pencil second gen because my Pencil is 100% authentic. I got serial number and receipt from Apple Store and Pencil was sealed inside box.
Just bought one from market place and i didn't bring my iPad with me. So i rushed to the nearest best buy and tested mine. It looks exactly the one in the store but when i attach it to the pad it doesn't show battery percentage. Im still not sure if its original or fake i have confirm it by going home and connecting it to my iPad
Omg, I just realized that mine is also fake. So many sings and I noticed not even one when I bought it. I was just wondering why the hell is the pen pressure not working in drawing apps and started to blame Apple over Wacom tablets. Jesus Christ!

Just got a used Apple Pencil 2 your video helped me a lot almost purchased a fake for the same price but I noticed the box was exactly the same as the fake one you showed in the video 😂
I'm about to leave to meet an Apple pencil 2 seller for a handover and this video will come in handy, I'll say under this comment some news (if I've met a fake or not )
Just figured out mine is a fake one too! It checks all the boxes! I was going crazy trying to figure out what was wrong with my pressure sensitivity…now I know.😢
Excellent article, my fake one stopped working and the eBay seller had gone, eBay were quick to refund. I also noticed there was a full stop after the word 'Pencil' on the fake one, had to take a photo to see it
My apple pen has no writing on the back and has a cap but all of the things mentioned in real one also has features of my pen. Is my pen real or fake? 😢
After watching your video and checking, my penci turns out to be original, however, the box is fake…. Probably an original pencil that was repacked by someone and sold as new 😢
I was going bananas on why the pressure sensitivity nor the double tap worked, now I see why lol The thing just arrived so it should be eligible for the refund
I used the type c pencil for a month and I really felt the need of having the double tap function on my pencil... Today I found a stray pencil on the floor in my classroom and no one came back to claim him so now I got the 2nd gen for free 😂
Before anyone goes off returning their Apple Pencil, keep in mind that a new operating system has come out since this video posted. The layout for the Settings screen in question I laid out quite differently. Double check before you lose a great deal from a company that doesn't play well withe the word "sale."
I bought fake airpod once in morocco i thought it was fake but then i checked the serial number on apple’s website and it recognized the airpods so i thought it was real airpods. It worked just like real airpods, they worked also on Apple Location app. Fake products are more and more good
i was scared that i bought a fake one from shopee but good thing it wasn’t lol because i just bought it from an official re-seller of apple so im glad that its real and didn’t waste my money
We need a proper way to tell whilst the pen is still sealed in the box. I don’t want to have to open it to see if it’s real, just bought one and have a bad feeling it’s fake
@@RedskullPro it felt hollow and cheap, it would only show up in Bluetooth settings and also the guy who tried to sell it to me had a hard time opening the box since it didn't have the pull tab.

I just bought a fake Apple Pencil to a random guy for 60 euros. It took me two weeks to realize it. It's working fine for everything except: - I found it weird the battery percentage wasn't showing when connecting it magnetically - Lack of pressure sensitivity: I thought I didn't know how to use brushes in Procreate - Finally: double tap didn't work, and no customization in the Apple pencil settings I'm going to buy another one (second hand) for 90 euros. In the end, I would have spent 10 euros more than if I bought the original right away. I'll end up with an extra "fake but usable pen", and with a lesson to be more careful about fakes next time.

Does it work well?
@@artreaper23 Yes, just that double tap and pressure sensitivity is missing and its way lighter than the original.

same and mine doesn’t show the extended settings like his shows.
Probably won't change that much but probably only european versions have writing on the back.
