The Apple Pencil (1st-gen) drops down to $80 for Cyber Monday

Although the Apple Pencil 2 may get a lot of attention for being compatible with the iPad Pro, iPad Air 4, and iPad mini 6, the older generation Apple Pencil is the only Apple Pencil that works with the iPad (2021) and some older models of the device as well. Sure, it may be a bit older and doesn’t offer the fancy features that the newer model does, but it’s still an amazing accessory for anyone with a compatible iPad model.

We’ve seen the Apple Pencil 9first generation) drop in price before, but for this Cyber Monday, Amazon is selling it for only $79.99. That’s only a few dollars more than the lowest price we’ve ever seen, making it a deal you don’t want to miss.

Apple Pencil (First-Generation)

The Apple Pencil (first-generation) may be an older generation of the amazing stylus, but it offers an incredible experience for anyone with a basic iPad, whether they’re an artist or not.

For me, the Apple Pencil is worth its weight in gold because of how well it integrates into iPadOS, even when you’re not drawing, sketching, or painting.

Tap any text-entry field and start writing in it, and your iPad will convert it into text. Tap the Lock screen with your Apple Pencil, and immediately, you’re in the notes app where you can sketch or jot down notes with ease. The little toolbar is constantly changing and adapting to what you’re doing with your Apple Pencil — like having a search button if you’re in the URL field in Safari. Plus, you can hide the toolbar off to the side if you don’t want it just chilling down at the bottom of your screen. It’s all just so seamless.

Drawing or coloring with the Apple Pencil (first generation) feels so smooth and very reminiscent of drawing on paper, with maybe just a little less friction. You can use the side of the Apple Pencil tip for shading, make use of the superb pressure sensitivity to make lines thicker or thinner, and the palm rejection is incredible.

Don’t forget, if you want the Apple Pencil 2 for your iPad Pro, iPad Air 4, or iPad mini 6, that’s also on sale for only $99 for Cyber Monday!
