There are some great keyboard attachments for the iPad, but sometimes, you
just want to physically write things down with a "pencil." While Apple's
stylus lineup can be confusing, it's clear that the Apple Pencil Pro is the
most advanced model of the bunch. If you've been looking to grab one, whether
it's for note-taking or more intricate drawing, the device is back down to
$99 at Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy. That's $30 off Apple's list price, and
while it's $10 more than the all-time low we saw last October, it matches the
largest discount we've tracked since.

Apple released this top-end model last year. It offers features such as
pressure sensitivity, a squeeze gesture to see menu options and a built-in
gyroscope that improves the process of changing your pen's orientation and
brush tools. The hardware is as comfy to hold as the older second-gen Pencil,
plus it works with Apple's Find My network, so you can easily locate the tool
at any time. The catch is that it's only compatible with select iPads: You'll
need an iPad Pro with an M4 chip, an M2 or M3 iPad Air or the most recent
iPad mini to take advantage.

If you don't want to spend quite that much, the USB-C Apple Pencil is
technically on sale for $69 as well. That's $10 less than buying from Apple
direct, though it's a price we've seen at third-party retailers fairly often
over the past several months. This model has most of the basic features,
including tilt sensitivity, the ability to attach to an iPad magnetically and
a "hover" feature that lets you preview inputs before you make them. It also
works with a wider range of iPads, including the base iPad (A16). However, it
lacks pressure sensitivity ΓÇö so it won't make darker marks when you press
down harder ΓÇö and it can't recharge while it's magnetically attached.
