Apple is its most affordable Apple Pencil yet, and this sale makes the peripheral even more affordable. However, Apple has long struggled to make that clear to consumers.

The Apple Pencil USB-C was already the most wallet-friendly version of the peripheral, and a new sale brings it back to a record price.

While it's useful to be able to charge the peripheral with a USB-C cable, this version lacks some of the more sophisticated features of the Apple Pencil Pro and the second-generation Apple Pencil. While you can place it on the side of iPads with magnetic holders for added security and convenience, there is no support for magnetic charging. Pressure sensitivity isn't available, and you can't use Apple's nifty double-tap feature. However, the company says that the Apple Pencil USB-C supports pixel-perfect precision, low latency, and tilt sensitivity.
