If you find yourself regularly taking notes, annotating documents, or photo editing on your iPad, then the Apple Pencil is a must-have. And thanks to a new deal, you can buy the Apple Pencil (USB-C) at Amazon for £59 (was £79).

The £20 discount might not seem like much, but it's a return to the record-low price that we saw a couple of months ago at Black Friday.

Apple Pencil deals don't come around very often, so a £20 discount is very welcome indeed. The price drop sees the popular stylus return to the record-low price that we saw during Black Friday.

We've not tested this version of the Apple Pencil, but from a specs point of view, the latest generation model has a lot to commendable traits. Notable features include magnetic attachment, pixel-perfect precision, tilt sensitivity, and imperceptible lag. Unfortunately, one of the key features that has been removed is the double-tap-to-change-tools functionality found on the Apple Pencil (2nd Generation).

The biggest introduction, though, is USB-C charging. Thanks to a discrete port at the top end of the stylus, users can now charge using the ubiquitous USB-C technology. Wireless charging would have been the cherry on the cake, but unfortunately, that feature is missing.

If you're looking for an Apple Stylus at an affordable price, then now is the time to strike. If, on the other hand, you're open to other brands, then we have tested 5 cheap Apple Pencil alternatives to help you weigh up the options.
