SAVE $30: The Apple Pencil Pro is on sale for $99 at Walmart, shaving $30 off its usual $129 price. With pressure sensitivity, tilt support, haptic feedback, and Find My Network, it’s Apple’s most advanced stylus yet.
Apple just gave me yet another reason to waste hours doodling instead of doing actual work. The Apple Pencil Pro is down to $99 at Walmart, a solid $30 discount. If you’ve been holding onto an older Apple Pencil or, worse, a third-party stylus that sort of works but mostly sucks, this is your sign to upgrade. I mean, sure, the original Apple Pencil was cool, but once I got used to its quirks (and its annoying tendency to roll off my desk), I realized I needed something better. Enter the Apple Pencil Pro.
Unlike previous models, the Apple Pencil Pro introduces haptic feedback, making interactions feel much more satisfying. Snapping shapes into place, switching tools, and adjusting settings all have a slight vibration that feel like you’re doing something. The new Squeeze gesture lets me swap between tools without tapping awkwardly on the screen. Barrel Roll makes rotating brushes and pencils feel way more natural. I’m no digital artist, but even I can appreciate how much easier shading and brushwork become with this feature.
Apple have also thought about people like me lose things constantly. If I misplace my Apple Pencil Pro (which is inevitable), I won’t have to tear apart my entire desk searching for it. Instead, I can ping it from my iPad or iPhone like an AirTag.
Pixel-perfect precision, tilt, pressure sensitivity, and ultra-low latency are solid features for artists, designers, and anyone who prefers handwritten notes over typing. It magnetically attaches, pairs, and charges on compatible iPads, meaning I don’t have to mess with cables, dongles, or the weird Lightning adapter from the first-gen Pencil.
At $99 at Walmart, this is the best price we’ve seen so far, and considering how quickly Apple accessories tend to sell out, I wouldn’t wait too long. If you’re even remotely thinking about upgrading, now’s the time to do it.
