Should you buy an Apple Pencil 2 on Black Friday?

The original, first-generation Apple Pencil was a breakthrough stylus with pixel-perfect precision, palm rejection, and pressure and tilt sensivity. The biggest complaint was probably the awkward charging method: sticking straight out from the iPad's Lightning port. The second-generation Apple Pencil improved on those features. It has magnetic wireless charging along the side of the iPad, which makes a lot more sense. You can double-tap to change tools. Plus, it has a flat side for a more comfortable grip and to keep it from rolling off your desk.

Here are the iPads that are compatible with the 2nd-generation Apple Pencil:

• iPad Air (4th generation)
• iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd and 4th generation)
• iPad Pro 11-inch (1st and 2nd generation)

The Apple Pencil 2 is relatively new, and there are not many opportunities to get it at a discount. But if it's going to go on sale at all, it's going to be Black Friday. So, be sure to keep checking back here for Black Friday Apple Pencil deals if you're on the hunt.
