Apple Pencil Pro boasts just about every feature an iPad user could want, and during Amazon Prime Day that includes a more affordable price. A discount knocks 25% off the cost, bringing it below $100 for the first time.
Alternatively, you can get a 15% off deal on the Apple Pencil (USB-C), or save 30% on the older Apple Pencil 2.
UPDATE: While Prime Day is over, these deals are not. Amazon actually improved them so these styli cost even less. Read on for the latest prices.
Tips on choosing the right Apple stylus
While a stylus isn’t a requirement for an iPad, there are a lot of uses. Take handwritten notes, sketch out ideas, sign documents… even make great works of art if your talents lie in that direction.
But which Apple Pencil you should get depends on a couple of factors: your iPad model and what you want to do with the stylus. They all offer a great writing and sketching experience, though.
Apple Pencil Pro is the latest and greatest. It offers everything artists need, including pressure sensitivity, tilt detection, palm rejection, a built-in button and more. But it works only with the new M4 iPad Pro and M2 iPad Air models launched earlier this year. Read my review for more details and hands-on experience.
Apple Pencil (USB-C) doesn’t have all the Pro features, but it does support tilt detection, palm rejection and a built-in button. It supports all recent iPads. I reviewed it also
Apple Pencil 2 is the previous premier model. It includes pressure sensitivity, tilt detection and palm rejection, and works with a range of older tablets that have been specifically designed to charge it, including many recent iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad mini and iPad models.
Save on Apple Pencil during Prime Day
Apple Pencil Pro ordinarily sets you back $129, but not during the (post) Amazon Prime Day period. With a discounted cost of only $97 $96, you can now save $32 $33 on the top-of-the-line Apple stylus.

The regular cost for Apple Pencil (USB-C) is $79. That’s quite a good price for a top-quality stylus, but you don’t have to pay it. Not when a deal knocks $12 $14 off.

And Apple Pencil 2 doesn’t have to cost $129. That’s because there’s a deal on this older iPad stylus, too. It’s now $89.87 $79.99 — a whopping 30% 38% discount off the regular price.
