Get an iPad for Christmas? Don’t miss this Apple Pencil 2 deal to complete your new tablet

This may be your last chance to get the Apple Pencil 2 at a discounted price for a while; are currently $89 at Amazonlower than the usual MSRP of $129.

We've seen Apple's stylus hover around this price on and off since Black Friday 2022, and we even briefly saw it drop to $79 during this year's post-Thanksgiving sales event, but with the release of Apple's new, more affordable Apple Pencil USB-C, chances are the post-Christmas sale will be the last chance we'll see for a while to get our hands on a stylus save.

I'm an aspiring digital artist, and even after testing many of the best drawing tablets built specifically for digital art, the ergonomic design, fantastic responsiveness, and useful features like magnetic charging of the Apple Pencil keep bringing me back for more. Plus, it keeps my tablet free of greasy fingerprints!

There's never been a better time to invest in an Apple Pencil 2, with many note-taking apps going from strength to strength and taking advantage of some of the best features of iPadOS.

For example, I spent a lot of time learning how to animate on Procreate Dreams. Both this and the drawing app Procreate only offer useful features like pressure and tilt sensitivity with the Apple Pencil 2, and not with non-Apple verified third-party alternative styluses.
