Apple has introduced a new, more affordable Apple Pencil that works with all iPad models that have a USB-C port. The new Apple Pencil has the same pixel-perfect accuracy, low latency, and tilt sensitivity as the previous generations, but pairs and charges with a USB-C cable instead of magnetically attaching to the iPad. The new Apple Pencil will be available in early November for $79.

What Are the Features of the New Apple Pencil?
The new Apple Pencil has a matte finish and a flat side that magnetically attaches to the side of the iPad for storage. A sliding cap reveals a USB-C port, enabling customers to use a USB-C cable to connect to the new Apple Pencil for pairing and charging.
When attached to the iPad for storage, the new Apple Pencil enters into a sleep state to preserve battery life. The new Apple Pencil offers the same advanced pixel-perfect accuracy, low latency, and tilt sensitivity that customers love with Apple Pencil (1st and 2nd generations).
The new Apple Pencil works great with iPadOS features like Scribble and Quick Note, and when collaborating with others in Freeform. When used with M2 models of iPad Pro, the new Apple Pencil supports hover, allowing users to sketch and illustrate with even greater precision.
