The two Apple Pencils are extremely similar in design, while being different enough that you can easily tell them apart. Apple Pencil vs Apple Pencil 2: design & ergonomics But our point here is still that the cost consideration goes beyond the price of the stylus. Of course, you get a much more powerful device for that extra cost, with vastly improved screen quality, and a USB Type-C port for attaching external storage or a 4K display easily.
APPLE PENCIL 2 PRO
To get an Apple Pencil 2, you’re looking at a minimum of £868/$928 – that’s for the 11-inch iPad Pro (2021) plus Apple Pencil 2nd gen. The lowest price you can pay for a new iPad together with an Apple Pencil is £438/$428 – that’s the 10.2-inch iPad plus Apple Pencil 1st gen. Suffice to say, for now, the original Apple Pencil is the most broadly compatible stylus, and definitely the budget option. If you're feeling a little lost with all the different names and numbers, check out our iPad generations article where we explain it in detail. The Apple Pencil 2 is currently supported by the newest 4th generation iPad Air (2020), the first generation 11-inch iPad Pro (2018) and later, the iPad Pro 12.9-inch third generation (2018) and later – including the iPad Pro M1 2021 models – and the sixth-generation iPad mini (2021). The original Apple Pencil is supported by the latest 9th Gen iPad 10.2-inch (2021, plus 20 version too), iPad mini (2021, 2019) and iPad Air (2019) from the current line-up. However, if you have an iPad already then your choice of Pencil has effectively been made for you, as each iPad is only compatible with one of the two Pencil options. There are hardware reasons for this, which we'll get to later in the article. An Apple Pencil 1st gen costs £89/$99, while the Apple Pencil 2 costs £119/$129.
