The new, affordable, apple pencil: $79

I think that's what I paid for a Surface Stylus five years ago, so idk. Not bad.

    No pressure sensitivity being the biggest missing feature. It’s fine to have options, but once the Lightning Pencil inevitably dies off, the only option for pressure will be to upgrade both your pencil and iPad to a higher end model that supports Pencil 2nd Gen; there’ll be no lower cost option for Artists just starting out.

    I mean, they’re going to be killing off the 9th gen iPad sometime soon anyway. At which point gettin an Air would be the best value for starting artists anyway since it’s only $150 more than the 10th gen and has much better performance.
