An iPad can be one of the greatest tools when it comes to productivity, but add in the Apple Pencil, and you're on a whole new level. The Apple Pencil is compatible with the following devices:

  • iPad (6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th Gen)

  • iPad Air (3rd Gen)

  • iPad mini (5th Gen)

  • iPad Pro (12.9-inch, 1st and 2nd Gen)

  • iPad Pro (10.5-inch and 9.7-inch)

If you're using one of these models, the Apple Pencil has the ability to turn your tablet experience into one full of note-taking in the margins, sketching an inspiring scene, or writing yourself a to-do list.

Apple mentions the precision of the Pencil gets down to individual pixels, and both tilt and pressure sensitivity make using the Pencil easier. Thanks to this feature, you can draw lines of varying weights and get a better result when shading, making it an attractive option for artists who create on an iPad. You're also looking at a lag-free writing and drawing with the Apple Pencil, just like you would expect from a good-old No. 2 pencil.

Included with the Apple Pencil deal the device itself, a lightning adapter for charging, an extra tip, and a USB-C to Apple Pencil Adapter, which is necessary to charge and pair with a 10th Gen iPad.

The perfect accessory for an iPad, the Apple Pencil (1st Gen) is currently at the lowest price we've ever seen at Amazon at just $69. Whether you're heading back into the classroom and could benefit from taking notes or you're an artist drawing up a new project, the Apple Pencil brings a whole new level of creativity to using a tablet.
