Apple’s current lineup of Apple Pencil devices sits at a total of four, with the latest Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil (USB-C) being the only two that will work with new M4 iPad Pro and M2 iPad Air. Joining ongoing deals on the pro model down below, Amazon and Best Buy have both brought back the Apple Pencil (USB-C) deal down at $69 shipped. Regularly $79, this is matching the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon, landing on par with our previous mention. It is the lowest price you’ll find on a brand new unit Apple Pencil that works with Apple’s latest iPads. However, over at Best Buy you’ll find excellent condition open-box units sitting at $60.99 shipped. This is the lowest price we have tracked on Apple Pencil (USB-C) from a proper retailer shipping it with a full 1-year warranty.
The Apple Pencil (USB-C) does not have all of the fancy new features you’ll find on the latest Pro model, but it’s also more than $50 less expensive and delivers universal compatibility across the entire USB-C iPad lineup. Apple Pencil Pro only works with the new M4 iPad Pro and M2 iPad Air, but the USB-C model works with those two as well as iPad (10th generation), the latest mini USB-C variants, and the previous Airs and Pros. It’ll also still provide that Apple writing experience with tilt sensitivity and can be magnetically attached to your machine in between uses.
