A good deal’s a good deal.
Apple on Monday added its lower-cost Apple Pencil with a USB-C port to the online storefronts of its refurbished stores in select European countries, including Austria, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK.
The refurbished unit is discounted by 15 percent in each country.
The Apple Pencil with a USB-C port was originally released in November 2023, and has a similar design to the Apple Pencil 2 and Apple Pencil Pro models, but features a USB-C port hidden under a sliding cap for charging and pairing with a USB-C cable. It attaches magnetically to any iPad with a USB-C port but does not support wireless charging or pairing. The stylus also lacks pressure sensitivity and a double-tap gesture for switching between drawing tools.
Apple has stated that its refurbished products undergo full functionality testing as well as a thorough cleaning process and inspection. The units are also repackaged in a plainer white box with a refurbished label than the new commercial units.
