Let's delve into the nitty-gritty of the Apple Pencil 2 versus the Apple Pencil 3 USB-C version and see why the former might still be the king of the hill.

Design and Color: Similar or Different?
At first glance, both the Apple Pencil 2 and Apple Pencil 3 USB-C version look strikingly similar in design and color. It's almost as if Apple decided to play it safe and stick to what works. However, there is a subtle difference. The Apple Pencil 3 USB-C version has incorporated a USB-C charging port hidden inside the top. As for the rumors about a black edition? Sadly, they aren't true.

Apple Pencil 3 USB-C version: A Step Back?
This is where the real differences between the Apple Pencil 3 USB-C version and its predecessor, the Apple Pencil 2nd Gen, come to light. Surprisingly, Apple Pencil 3 USB-C version, the latest iteration of the Apple Pencil, has done away with several key features that made the second-generation model so popular. Gone are the days of pressure sensitivity, wireless pairing and charging, and the convenient double-tap function to switch tools. It's quite a head-scratcher, to be honest.

Apple has restricted the second-generation Apple Pencil to its newer iPad Pro and iPad Air models, which could mean that the Apple Pencil 3 USB-C version will be exclusive to newer devices. But does that make up for the lack of features?
Lower Price: Value for Money?
Now, let's talk numbers. The Apple Pencil 3 USB-C version comes with a price tag of $79, which might seem like an attractive deal, especially when you compare it to the Apple Pencil 2’s $129 and the first-generation Apple Pencil’s $99. However, one must question whether this lower price truly offers value for money, considering the features that have been omitted in the Apple Pencil 3rd Gen.
Before you make a decision, remember, there are numerous alternatives available as well. The Benks Pen, for example, offers the same features as the Apple Pencil 2nd Gen, but at the affordable price of just $42.99 now. That's right, it's cheaper than the Apple Pencil 3rd Gen! While the Apple Pencil 3 USB-C version may seem like a good deal, the omission of key features makes it less appealing compared to the Apple Pencil 2. For those on a budget, the Benks Pen is an excellent alternative, offering similar functionality at a fraction of the price.
