This new stylus emerges as a budget-conscious alternative to the second-generation Apple Pencil, catering to a broader audience.
Cost-Effective Styling and Compatibility
The Apple Pencil (2023) boasts a sleek design with a matte finish. The special flat side makes it easily stick to iPads like the 10th-gen iPad, iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad mini, which all have the newer USB-C ports. This simplified connectivity enhances user convenience.
Affordable Pricing
Apple is setting an attractive price point for the Apple Pencil (2023) in India, where it is available for Rs. 7,990. Students enjoy a discounted rate, securing their stylus for Rs. 6,990. This affordable price makes the new model a great choice for many different users.

This compatibility ensures that many iPad users can enjoy the benefits of this budget-friendly stylus.
Notable Omissions
While the Apple Pencil (2023) offers an affordable alternative, it does come with some exclusions. Unlike the pricier second-generation Apple Pencil, this one can't charge wirelessly.
