If you’re a committed Apple fan, then you probably want to get all of the best accessories. One that’s often overlooked is the Apple Pencil Pro. It’s normally $129, which is a big ask, but we’ve found an excellent deal today that makes it more affordable.

Woot currently has a deal on a new, open-boxApple Pencil Pro that brings it down to just $80. This is the cheapest we’ve ever seen the device, and while it’s not brand-new, it still comes with at least 60 days of warranty. Act quickly, though, as we’re not expecting this deal to last long.

The Apple Pencil Pro, the first new model introduced since 2023, launched in May of 2024. This upgraded version has pressure sensitivity that closely resembles the feel of a real pen, along with the convenience of magnetic charging. Notably, the Pro model also incorporates gestures and haptics, allowing you to perform actions like squeezing the pen to open menus, rolling it to select different tools and using a hover gesture to preview strokes. These enhancements are designed to eliminate barriers between you and your digital creations, making the drawing experience more intuitive and seamless.

Why this deal matters

The Apple Pencil Pro rarely goes on sale, and even when it does, the lowest price we’ve ever seen for it is $90. This deal is $10 less than that, and while it’s technically open box, it still comes with a warranty for at least 60 days. So if you’re interested, act fast.
