SAVE $30: The second-gen Apple Pencil is ideal for digital artists, graphic designers, and note-takers. As of Dec. 13, you can grab one from Amazon for just $99 — a $30 discount.


If you still need a holiday gift for the doodler, sketcher, or student in your life, the second-gen Apple Pencil is the best choice for iPad users. For folks who missed the Black Friday and Cyber Monday Apple deals, fear not — this Apple Pencil is back to its previous lowest Amazon price. You can score it for just $99 (regular price: $129) as of Dec. 13. Plus, it'll arrive before Dec. 25, according to the retailer, so you'll have time to wrap it up.

The second-gen Apple Pencil is compatible with the sixth-gen iPad mini, the fourth-gen iPad Air, the third-, fourth-, and fifth-gen 12.9-inch iPad Pro, and all generations of the 11-inch iPad Pro. It features a Bluetooth connection and magically attaches and pairs to your iPad, no cords required. This magical connection also charges the Apple Pencil, so you'll never need to remember to plug it in before creating your next masterpiece.

This Apple Pencil has an instant response time and is ultra-precise, making it the best tool for digital painting, drawing, and marking up PDFs. There's also an intuitive touch surface on the pencil that supports double tapping, so you can switch from a paintbrush to a pencil to an eraser without ever having to put the pencil down. That's a pretty genius workflow tool for artists.

Scoop up a second-generation Apple Pencil as a holiday gift for just $99. The creative folks in your life will thank you.
