A cheaper USB-C Apple Pencil is coming next month with some BIG compromises

Apple is tossing a new, cheaper Apple Pencil with USB-C into the mix, set to hit the stores in early November for just $79. It does not replace the first or second generation models, but instead, it sort of slots in between them.

This stylus has many bells and whistles like pixel-perfect accuracy, low latency, and tilt sensitivity, making it suitable for a variety of tasks such as note-taking, sketching, annotating, and journaling. However, it is missing some important features, including the lack of pressure sensitivity and wireless charging.
