Let’s face it: most early Cyber Monday discounts are simply renamed Black Friday deals, but the shopping event occasionally surprises us with a totally new one. One of them is today’s bargain on the second-generation Apple Pencil. The second-generation Apple Pencil is currently on sale for $79.99 ($49 off) at Amazon, Target, and Walmart, albeit the latter requires you to check in to your Walmart account.
If you have an iPad Pro, iPad Air, or iPad Mini, this is an amazing stylus for sketching and taking notes. The pressure-sensitive Pencil charges by magnetically adhering to the side of tablets, which was a feature lacking in its predecessor. On M2-equipped iPad Pros, it also supports touch gestures and the hover capability, allowing you to see where the pen will create a mark on the screen before making it. Furthermore, unlike third-party styli, it has certain useful Apple software integrations, such as the ability to readily check the Apple Pencil’s battery level while attaching it.
Apple Pencil (second-gen)
The second-gen Apple Pencil ditches the awkward Lightning port charging, adopting a magnetic charging mechanism that attaches to the side of the latest iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad Mini models. It also supports tap gestures.
