When it comes to must-have peripherals for your iPad, you have the Magic Keyboard and the Apple Pencil. Both can transform your tablet into a powerhouse of a mobile workstation, but the Apple Pencil may very well be the most transformative of the two. And now that school is back in session, there's no better time than the present to invest in an accessory that can make taking notes, staying organized, and enjoying some downtime a lot easier.

The second-generation Apple Pencil is now on sale for $89 at Amazon. That's $40 off its usual price of $129 and a savings of 31%. If you've been in the market to finally get one for a while, you'll want to snap one up before this price cut expires.

The Apple Pencil is legitimately fun to use and grants you plenty of versatility in the way you interact with your iPad. You can use it as a stylus to navigate, or you can use it to write, draw, and paint. There's no discernible input lag as it glides smoothly across the screen, and it feels great in the hand. Plus, it pairs automatically and connects magnetically to the side of your iPad so it's harder to misplace and easier to charge.
