If you just grabbed a new iPad, be sure to pair it with the Apple Pencil. It will help you get the full utility out of your expensive new device. This week is actually the best time you could buy one of the best styluses out there. Right now the stylus is only $89, $40 off its usual price of $129. There’s never been a better discount on this Apple Pencil on Amazon. If the price isn’t enough to convince you, let us tell you why you’ll love the Apple Pencil.

Why You Should Buy the Apple Pencil 2nd Gen

Because it can be a little confusing, it’s always a good idea to read our guide on which Apple Pencil works with which iPad. You can also get a little help using iPadOS’s Scribble feature, which is incredibly useful when you have a stylus handy. Basically, it’s a great way to leave notes for yourself about onscreen content or reading, but you will need an Apple Pencil, either 1st Gen or 2nd Gen. Either way, this deal that offers the Apple Pencil 2nd Gen for cheaper than ever is the perfect time to get yourself ready to scribble.

At its core, the Apple Pencil 2nd Gen is a stylus, like any other, except designed to Apple’s top-notch standards, and meant to be compatible with Apple’s products, namely the latest iPads. You can use it to sketch, doodle, take notes, write on various screens, paint, and much moree than that. Instead of using your finger, you use the stylus, which is essentially a tablet-ready pen. It won’t harm or scratch the screen as long as you’re gentle while using it. It magnetically attaches to the iPad, charging wirelessly too, and with a simple double tap — on the Pencil — you can change active tools, so it makes things so much easier to use and navigate on iPadOS.

The Apple Pencil 2nd Gen is compatible with the same model from our iPad Mini review (6th Gen), and the iPad Air review (5th and 4th Gen), as well as the iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Gen), and the iPad Pro 11-inch (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Gen). It connects with all of these models seamlessly, while offering imperceptible lag — it’s virtually nonexistent — and pixel-perfect precision whether sketching or interacting with onscreen elements. The Apple Pencil 2nd Gen is a must-have for creatives, and it brings a whole new experience to your iPad and compatible devices. You won’t be disappointed.

On a normal day, without this deal, you’d be paying $129 for the Apple Pencil 2nd Gen. However, thanks to Amazon’s current discount, you’ll get $40 off, and instead, pay $89 with free shipping. You can’t beat that. No really, you can’t, it’s one of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen for this model of the Apple Pencil. Don’t sleep on this deal creatives!
