The USB-C Apple Pencil is on sale for $60 right now

The USB-C Apple Pencil is on sale via Woot for just $60. This is a discount of 24 percent and a record low price, as it typically costs $79. This serves as the company's "budget" stylus and was originally released at the tail-end of 2023.

Despite being the most reasonably priced Apple Pencil, there's still plenty to like here. It's the only Pencil that's compatible with nearly every iPad in Apple's lineup. This includes the iPad Air (M2), iPad Pro (M4), iPad (10th gen) and iPad mini (6th gen). It even works with the older 12.9-inch iPad Pro (3rd-6th gen), 11-inch iPad Pro (1st-4th gen) and iPad Air (4th and 5th gen). Of course, it also integrates nicely with the recently-released iPad mini (7th gen.)

The model offers tilt sensitivity and will attach to the side of iPads with magnetic holders. This is a great option for casual users who just want a stylus for casual writing or for navigating around a device. This is especially true for owners of the iPad (10th gen.) That tablet doesn't work with either of Apple's higher-end stylus options.

However, there are some downgrades when compared to the Pencil Pro and the second-gen Pencil. The USB-C Apple Pencil can't handle pressure sensitivity, which limits options for illustrators. It also won't charge while magnetically attached. It charges via a USB-C cable. The accessory is slightly-shorter than the higher-end models and that could be an issue for those with large hands. Otherwise, this is a fine stylus for Apple devices.
