FAKE VS REAL Apple Pencil 2 - Perfect Clone - Buyers Beware!

In this video I will show you the differences between the fake and real Apple Pencil 2 and how to easily spot the fake Apple Pencil (2nd Generation)
Original Apple Pencil 2 on Amazon: geni.us/1O65rmp
I found the other one on aliexpress: geni.us/x3gt
Throughout this video I will show you everything there is to know so you can easily spot the fake Apple Pencil 2nd Generation and not be fooled into buying the fake one believing you are buying the real one.
Even though the fake pencil looks the same, the performance, quality and reliability will never be the same as the original product. Always get your Apple products from an authorized reseller.

New Video: FAKE VS REAL Apple AirPods Max: kzbin.info/www/bejne/porNZIRoo9-Aadk

[@GauravSingh-ob5ok]

I just figured out that mine is a fake one. Thanks for your video. I would appreciate it if you also make another one for the fake charger and cable!

[@RedskullPro]

Yeah, I should look into the charger!

[@artreaper23]

Does it work well?

[@grandiosegaurav]

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

[@odzergaming]

@@grandiosegauravgood, double tap is useless and pressure sensitivity is annoying af

[@grandiosegaurav]

@@odzergaming Even if you find both useless, you will definitely like the weight of original Apple pencil for sure.

Thank you so much ❤️ it helped a lot, it stopped me from buying some fake ones ❤

[@RedskullPro]

Glad I could help!

[@rowets]

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

[@serratus]

Thanks a lot !

[@max-3158]

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

[@engyMaher-hy6jo]

Thank you soooooo much❤

[@FLORAAMBEROFFiCiAL]

where did you get the fake apple pencil?

[@nikxgerona]

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.

[@moshamosha4584]

I have ordered from flipkart they are charging me 9500/-rs , while Apple is selling for 11900/- Is its fake one?

[@bapre9124]

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 ❤

[@kdupuis77]

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!

[@EliasTheDegen]

Hey, I received the same fake apple pencil, what is the best way to go about getting a refund.

[@kdupuis77]

@@EliasTheDegen mine came from a seller store called “lifecase” and their user name was “donnaeasom99”. I requested a return and put “item not as listed” for the reason. Then I uploaded photos showing the fake Apple Pencil he sent me with the same serial number as a screenshot of this KZbin video. Just dropped it off at the post office and have to wait who knows how long for a refund. Item was supposed to come from Connecticut to me in New Hampshire… ended up being shipped from China over two weeks to get here and the return label eBay gave me has it going to flipping Puerto Rico! Left negative feedback and blocked him, it’s all you can do. I called eBay last time I got a counterfeit 35w dual usb charger and they didn’t care at all, just told me to do a return - that seller’s listing is STILL up two months the later, claiming to be genuine Apple product too. These guys are so slick because it’s hard to spot these new fakes and most people don’t know any better.

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

[@LeoLeo-tc3ln]

I tried barmaso pencil and it works great for me

[@BenWiley4000]

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.

[@eltontsang9079]

Thanks useful information 👍😎💪🏼

[@RedskullPro]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Sebastian-ox3wx]

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

[@RedskullPro]

Thanks for the info, I didn’t see that

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 👍👍👍👍👍

[@RedskullPro]

Thanks for watching!

Yeah... I just bought it and it wasn't sealed in plastic... I'm yet to test it on my ipad. Let's see if it's genuine or not 🤞🏻

The battery percentage does not show up on ipad pro it just says apple pencil. You need to go into apple pencil settings to see battery percentage

[@Vote_Reform]

Yes it does

[@pauloreis5415]

strange mine looks a lot like the fake one, but it has double tap and when I connect it, the battery percentage appears (in fact, when I connected it for the first time it gave the correct configuration instructions) Would mine really be fake? can anybody help me

[@24shayaanfaisal97]

Does it have pressure and tilt sensitivity? If it does it is real

[@pauloreis5415]

​@@24shayaanfaisal97 I don't really know for sure. I think so. As I use nano glass film, it may interfere. But I can move apps with the pen... I don't know if that counts as a pressure gauge

[@24shayaanfaisal97]

@@pauloreis5415 to check the pressure sensitivity go in the Apple notes app (already pre installed) and chose the marker or highlighter pen, than just try to touch the nib of the pencil to the screen and if it creates a light smudge and Gradually increase the pressure the smudge becomes darker as you move along, if the smudge(colour p) remains same regardless of the pressure applied, you don’t have pressure sensitivity, this means you have a fake pencil( sorry for bad English)

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 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.
