SAVE $50: The Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) is just $79 at Amazon, marked down from the normal price of $129. That's a 39% discount.


Our digital age comes with some serious advantages, like having almost anything delivered to our doorsteps in a matter of hours. But occasionally, it's worth going back to the basics. If you ever miss the days of handwriting a letter or scribbling in the margins during a lecture, today's deal is just for you.

As of Feb. 20, the Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) is just $79 at Amazon, down from the normal price of $129. That's a savings of $50 or a discount of 39%. This deal brings the Apple Pencil back down to the lowest price we've ever seen at Amazon.

The Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) is designed to be the perfect accompaniment to an Apple iPad for those who wish to write, sketch, or draw. Apple's aim of the pencil is to feel as natural as it would to write on paper with pencil like we did in the old days. The 2nd Gen Apple Pencil is compatible with iPad Air, iPad mini, and iPad Pro models.

The Pencil comes with low latency so you won't feel any lag as you jot down notes. It's designed with tilt sensitivity, which can be handy for shading sketches or making the most brilliant doodle you've ever taken while sitting in class. It also supports Apple Pencil hover on the iPad Pro which allows you to preview your mark so you can ensure it's the right move before it ends up on the tablet.

If you have concerns about misplacing the most expensive pencil you've ever owned, Apple sorted that out for us. The Pencil attaches magnetically onto the side of your iPad, so the two will always stay safely together.

Whether you're a student looking to add notes to class materials or an artist looking to design a new medium, the Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) aims to please with accuracy down to the pixel. Score the Apple Pencil for just $79 at Amazon and let creativity take hold.
