From Apple Pencil 1st Gen to Pencil Pro, Amazon Is Clearing Out Stock at All-Time Low Prices
If you've ever written notes on an iPad, drawn, cropped photos, or just navigated with more precision, you're aware of how valuable the Apple Pencil is. It transforms your iPad into a productivity and creativity powerhouse that lets you interact with apps in ways that are simply not possible to you using your finger. However, Apple Pencils almost never go on sale which makes today's Amazon deals on all three current models-the Apple Pencil, Apple Pencil 2nd Generation, and Apple Pencil Pro especially noteworthy. Each is now available at a record low price, so if you've been waiting for the right moment to upgrade or buy your first stylus, this is your chance. The most affordable option in the lineup is the Apple Pencil (USB-C) and it now retails for just $69, down from $79. It's designed for people who want the bare essentials of Apple Pencil experience (pixel-perfect precision, low latency and tilt recognition) without the bells and whistles. It's perfect if you want to take notes, sketch, or annotate PDFs. The USB-C option charges and syncs using a USB-C cable which is convenient if you're newer iPads with their departure from the Lightning connector. See Apple Pencil at Amazon Higher up the series, the Apple Pencil 2nd Generation currently costs $99, down from its initial price of $129. This generation has been the gold standard for iPad users for years now with both design and functionality upgrades. The 2nd Gen Pencil attaches magnetically to the edge of supported iPads, wirelessly recharges, and stands ready at a moment's notice. It matches the USB-C model's pixel but also adds pressure sensing. Pressure sensitivity enables you to create lines of varying thickness and opacity depending on the pressure which is ideal for digital painting, sketching, and precise illustration work. See Apple Pencil 2nd Gen at Amazon Apple Pencil Pro is at the top of the product line and costs $99, down from $129 which is also an unusual price for Apple's latest and most advanced stylus. The Pencil Pro is designed for creatives and designers who want the best from their tools. It has all of the 2nd Generation features (magnetic attachment, wireless charging, pixel-precise accuracy, and pressure sensitivity) but pushes them further: The Pencil Pro introduces more subtle tilt and pressure sensitivity which means it can be even more accurate and sensitive to delicate drawing and shading. It also includes new gestures and haptic feedback which give you a more interactive and immersive experience while working. See Apple Pencil Pro at Amazon In the end, which one shall you go for? The USB-C is ideal for basic note-taking and sketching, the 2nd Generation is best for artists who need pressure sensitivity and more advanced features, and the Pencil Pro is ideal for those who need the most advanced stylus Apple offers.
