Whether you want to handwrite some notes, create some art, or just doodle, the Apple Pencil unlocks a whole world of creative possibilities on the iPad. Apple's own offering is the best iPad stylus, but you don't have to spend a fortune to get one with today's deal.
Right now, Amazon is offering the second-gen Apple Pencil for just $99. That's a $30 discount and marks a return to the lowest price it has ever seen there, equalling the price it fell to during Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales.
If you own an iPad Pro or iPad Air, or just upgraded to the latest iPad mini 6, the Apple Pencil 2 is a great supplementary purchase. It's also a great gift for the iPad user in your life making now the perfect time of year to pick one up.
Snag an all-time low Apple Pencil 2 price before Christmas
If you've got one of Apple's latest iPad Pro or iPad Air models, the Apple Pencil 2 is the perfect accompaniment. This $30 discount at Amazon marks a return to its best-ever price so it's well worth nabbing.
The Apple Pencil 2 is different from the first model in form, function, and device compatibility. It's been refined for a more ergonomic feel and the tech inside has changed as well. This Apple Pencil charges wirelessly when it's placed atop your compatible iPad so you almost never have to worry about keeping it charged yourself.
However, for that reason, the Apple Pencil compatibility situation has changed and Apple Pencil 2 only works with the following models: iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation) and later, iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation) and later, iPad Air (4th generation), and iPad mini (6th generation).
With your Apple Pencil, you can draw, sketch, color, take notes, mark up documents, and so much more. It utilizes pressure-sensitive technology that's capable of registering the force and angle that it's applied at and transmits it wirelessly to your iPad for a precise digital recreation.

It's unclear exactly how long this Apple Pencil deal will last, so be sure to snag one at a discount while you can.
