The Apple Pencil is a tool enjoyed by many iPad users. The Apple Pencil Pro is the newest version, but if you don't mind settling for an older model, the second-gen Apple Pencil is on sale right now. It usually costs a pretty penny, but thanks to Fourth of July sales at Amazon, you can get yourself one for just $80. This is an impressive $49 savings, only $1 short of the all-time low price.

The Apple Pencil is a great way to take notes and get creative when using an iPad, and the second-gen model offers support for advanced features like pressure and tilt sensitivity, tapping to change tools and more. It also magnetically connects to the side of compatible iPads to wirelessly charge and pair, ensuring it's always charged and ready to go when inspiration strikes.

The second-gen Apple Pencil works with the iPad Pro 12.9-inch (third-, fourth-, fifth- and sixth-gen models); iPad Pro 11-inch (first-, second-, third- and fourth-gen); iPad Air (fourth- and fifth-gen models); and the sixth-gen iPad Mini. However, it doesn't work with the latest iPad Pro M4 and iPad Air M2 devices. If you're upgrading, you'll need the new Apple Pencil Pro.
