Update: While Amazon is still offering the first price drop on Apple Pencil Pro in brand new condition for $119 shipped, Best Buy’s open-box excellent condition listing is live once again if you’re quick at $111.99 shipped – the lowest price we can find anywhere from a reputable dealer.
The Apple Pencil Pro has arrived on the scene and, while pricing has mostly held strong at the MSRP (outside of some open-box offerings at Best Buy), the 2nd Gen Apple Pencil remains in the lineup and is once again seeing a deep deal. Both Amazon and Best Buy are now offering the Apple Pencil 2nd Gen at $79 shipped, down from the regular $129 price tag Apple still sells it for to deliver nearly 40% in savings and to bring it back down to the lowest we have tracked at Amazon. You will (mostly) need the new Apple Pencil Pro for use with Apple’s just announced new M4 iPad Pro or iPad Air lineup (as detailed here), but folks sticking with their current Apple tablet can score a deep deal on the Apple Pencil 2nd Gen. Head below for more details.
Apple Pencil 2 remains the flagship digital writing experience for all but the brand new iPad Pro and Air models. It also remains an excellent note-taking and doodling tool with Apple’s hover feature on the now previous-generation iPad Pro models alongside compatibility with the previous iPad Air and the current-gen mini models (that are still on sale from $400). The 2nd Gen offering also features a flat edge that attaches magnetically to your tablet, while also allowing users to change tools with just a tap a finger.
While it does appear as though the Apple Pencil (USB-C), which is once again on sale for $71 from the usual $79, will indeed work the the latest iPads due to the wired connectivity.
