Let’s face it: most of the early Cyber Monday deals are just rebranded Black Friday deals, but every once in a while the shopping event surprises us with a completely new one. Today’s second-generation Apple Pencil deal is one of those deals. Right now, the second-generation Apple Pencil has dropped to a new all-time low of $79.99 ($49 off) at Amazon, Target and Walmart, although you’ll need to sign in to your Walmart account to take advantage of the latter.
If you own one of Apple’s latest iPad Pro, iPad Air, or iPad Mini models, this is an excellent stylus for drawing and taking notes. The pressure-sensitive Pencil charges by magnetically attaching to the side of the tablet, a handy feature that its predecessor lacked. It also supports tapping gestures and the hover feature on M2-equipped iPad Pros, so you can preview where the stylus will make a mark on the screen before you do. And, unlike third-party styluses, it offers some useful Apple software integrations, so you can easily check the Apple Pencil’s battery level when you attach it, for example.
