Refurbished Apple Pencil deal (first-gen model with USB-C adapter)

Your iPad is pretty cool out of the box, but with an Apple Pencil, it becomes a whole different level of cool. Suddenly, you’re sketching characters, brainstorming ideas or jotting notes with speed and style.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to grab one without paying the full Apple tax, this is it. This refurbished Apple Pencil (1st Gen) with USB-C to Pencil Adapter costs just $44.99 and it seamlessly integrates into any creative workflow.

This slim little iPad accessory provides pixel-perfect precision, ensuring strokes land exactly where your brain intended them to. Pressure and tilt sensitivity allow you to shade, add detail or switch line weights on the fly, making doodling feel more like real drawing and writing feel like pen to paper.

Whether you’re marking up documents at work, writing notes in class or sketching during a very important meeting that definitely could’ve been an email, an Apple Pencil keeps everything smooth, fluid and natural. And because this refurbished Apple Pencil includes the USB-C to Pencil adapter, you can charge up anytime inspiration strikes.

Is it compatible with my iPad?

Apple has released multiple versions of the Apple Pencil over the years: the original Apple Pencil, the second-gen Apple Pencil, the high-end Apple Pencil Pro and a budget model called the Apple Pencil (USB-C). Even the cheapest model retails for $79, and Apple still charges $99 for the first-gen model in this deal.

They all pack slightly different features and work with various iPad models, which can make picking one confusing. But they all cost more — and in some cases much more — than the Apple Pencil in this deal.

This Apple Pencil works with a wide range of iPads, including recent base-model iPads, iPad mini and iPad Air, so there’s a great chance it pairs with the one you already own. According to Apple’s compatibility list, it works with:

  • iPad mini (5th generation)
  • iPad (6th, 7th, 8th and 9th generation)
  • iPad (A16)*
  • iPad (10th generation)*
  • iPad Air (3rd generation)
  • iPad Pro 12.9-inch (1st and 2nd generation)
  • iPad Pro 10.5-inch
  • iPad Pro 9.7-inch

Save with this refurbished Apple Pencil deal

This first-gen Apple Pencil arrives grade-A refurbished, which means it’s in near-mint condition: the same look, feel and precision of a new Apple Pencil, but at a much friendlier price.

Boost your creativity, productivity and everything in between with this refurbished 1st-generation Apple Pencil and score it now for just $44.99 while supplies last.
