If you have an entry-level iPad or an older iPad Pro, you’ll probably need the first-gen Apple pencil, which is compatible with these Apple tablets (you can see the full list of compatible models here). Originally released in 2015, the original Apple Pencil still boasts some impressive tech, including sensitivity to pressure and tilt, extreme precision and almost nonexistent lag. This deal also comes with the USB-C adapter, which is required to pair to select iPad models.

Apple

The second-gen Apple Pencil is designed for the latest iPads (you can see the full list of compatible models here), and makes some slight improvements on its predecessor. This model magnetically attaches to the iPad for convenient wireless charging. This second-gen model also supports the new “hover” feature found on the latest iPad Pros, which tracks the pencil tip at close range, before you make contact with the screen. This is just $4 more than its best-ever price.
