When shopping for a stylus for your iPad, your first consideration should be an Apple Pencil. The company's accessory syncs up perfectly with its tablet, as expected, and there should be plenty of Cyber Monday Apple Pencil deals and Black Friday Apple Pencil deals arriving later this month.

Apple's products aren't often discounted, but even they aren't immune from the Black Friday 2021 deals that kick in at the end of November. Cyber Monday is set for November 29.

While we don't expect too much money off Apple's stylus, you should be able to save a little on a new Apple Pencil 1 or Apple Pencil 2 as the deals start rolling in closer to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. You may also get a Black Friday iPad deal, if you're looking for a new tablet.

The Apple Pencil 1 and Apple Pencil 2 are different, and some iPads may not be compatible with both, so it's important to check ahead of time before making your purchase. As a rule, older iPads support the Apple Pencil 1 while the newest iPads should work with both, but the Apple Pencil 2 has some upgrades over its predecessor – which only the best iPads can benefit from, like magnetic attaching and charging.

Of course, the original Apple Pencil 1 is cheaper than its successor, even if it lacks some advanced features, so make sure you're buying the right Apple stylus for you.
