The Apple Pencil Pro just dropped below $100 for the first time for October Prime Day

Jason Hiner/ZDNET

Normally $129, the new all-time-low price of $98 for Amazon's October Prime Day makes the Apple Pencil Pro -- with its advanced features -- a more attractive option than the $79 USB-C Apple Pencil (which is also reduced to $67 for Prime Day).

Right now, you can save $30 on the Pro version at not only Amazon, but also Walmart and Target (with a Target Circle signup). For just $20 more than the less sophisticated iteration, that's a pretty solid bargain.

The Apple Pencil Pro is at its lowest price yet since its release in May alongside the M4 iPad Pro and M2 iPad Air (both of which are also on sale for Prime Day). Designed specifically for these models, the Apple Pencil Pro introduces advanced features and tools that enhance creative control, such as squeeze and "barrel roll" gestures to access brushes and change stroke types without interrupting workflow.

I would also argue that its built-in Find My support make it worth the extra cost. Losing an Apple Pencil can be as easy as losing a regular pencil, so having Find My support really sweetens the deal.

With its new haptic feedback, users can feel their creations come to life as they sketch and draw. The Apple Pencil hover feature on the iPad Pro and iPad Air allows for a preview of marks before committing to the screen. The Apple Pencil Pro's advanced capabilities make marking up documents, taking notes, and creating art more intuitive than ever.

Take advantage while this deal lasts, most likely until Oct. 9 when Prime Day ends.
