This $80 post-Prime Day bargain for Apple Pencil 2 is (almost) as good as it gets
Whatever tablet you have, adding a stylus to the mix can really improve the experience. It’s great for note-taking and illustration, among other things, and that’s doubly true if you’re an iPad owner. Unfortunately, Apple’s stylus options, branded Apple Pencil, are far from cheap. But the second-generation Apple Pencil is currently on offer for just a dollar more than the best price we’ve ever seen, thanks to this late Prime Day discount. It usually costs almost $130, but that’s possible too get one for yourself for just $80 now. The only catch we can see is that it’s not clear how long this price will last, so make sure you order your new Apple stylus now before you overpay later.
The Apple Pencil is a great way to take notes and get creative when using an iPad, and the second-generation model adds support for advanced features like pressure and tilt sensitivity, tap to switch tools, and more. It also magnetically connects to the side of compatible iPads for wireless charging and pairing, so it’s always charged and ready to go when inspiration strikes.
