Grab a second-generation Apple Pencil to go with your iPad for just $85

SAVE $44: The Apple Pencil (2nd generation) is on sale for $85 at Amazon as of May 25. That’s a savings of 34%.


If you’re an avid iPad user, an Apple Pencil should be part of your regular arsenal. And if you’ve had your eye on one for a while, now is a great time to go ahead and pick one up.

The second-generation Apple Pencil is now just $85 at Amazon. Typically sold for $129, the Apple Pencil is one of the more expensive accessories you can buy for the powerful tablet line, but it’s also one of the most useful as well. With a deal that cuts it down by $44, or 34%, you’d do well to snag one before that number springs back up.

You might be surprised by how versatile the second-gen Apple Pencil is: it’s great for writing, drawing, painting, or using as a stylus with your iPad. Its pressure sensitivity makes it a real alternative to using traditional pencil and paper, and it’s easy to keep up with. It attaches magnetically to the side of your iPad so you won’t lose it, and it charges while attached.

If you love your tablet but feel like it needs a bit of extra oomph, the Apple Pencil is it. And while there are always new iPads and other Apple products on their way in and out at what feels like too-regular intervals, buying an Apple Pencil now should hold you over at least until the next generation of iPads or longer.
