As you likely recall, Apple recently announced a new Apple Pencil (USB-C) that cuts out some of the premium features so entry-level users can get their feet wet with the Apple Pencil experience for around half the price of the Apple Pencil 2.
Now that the Apple Pencil lineup has become ever more complicated with the introduction of the all-new Apple Pencil (USB-C), many of you are probably wondering what model you should get for your iPad or iPad Pro.
If you’re a 2018 or newer iPad Pro user, and you’ve been looking for a good alternative to the Apple Pencil 2 to reduce costs, but also don’t want to skimp on quality and features, then a new product from ZAGG called the Pro Stylus 2 should be on your radar.
No stylus can exactly replicate the magic of an Apple Pencil with your iPad. But the good news is, there are many that come quite close, and at a fraction of the price. If you're a designer or artist, chances are you can't do without your Apple Pencil. But for other tasks like notetaking, casual doodling, or browsing, an affordable Apple Pencil alternative is more than enough.
Check out the list below for our selection of the best Apple Pencil alternatives that come as close as possible to the real thing while perfectly fitting any budget.
