Apple designed the second-generation Pencil specifically to work with the iPad, and it’s the best stylus you can snap up for the company’s tablets. It offer low latency, along with a double-tap feature that you can customize to switch between preferred tools. Other features include tilt sensitivity, pressure sensitivity and what Apple claims is “pixel-perfect precision.”
One big advantage that the second-gen Apple Pencil has over its two siblings is wireless charging, as it attaches magnetically to the side of a compatible iPad while it recharges. You’ll need a relatively recent iPad Air, iPad mini or iPad Pro, but the magnetic charger on the side of those tablets gives you an easy way to stow your stylus while powering it. You don’t have to think about cables, or buy a case with a pen slot.
If you don’t need all the second-gen model’s features and want to spend a bit less, Apple’s Pencil (USB-C) is also on sale for $70 (11 percent off), near it’s all-time-low price. It offers the same precision and magnetic mount, but lacks pressure sensitivity, wireless charging and the double tap drawing tool feature.
