When figuring out how much an Apple Pencil will cost you, you first need to figure out which one you need.
There are two versions of the Apple Pencil. The original Pencil costs $99, while the Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) sells for $129.
They're not interchangeable - you need to purchase a different Pencil depending on what version of the iPad you have. Both Pencils are current models, since there are a number of iPads currently in use which make use of both accessories.

How to tell which Apple Pencil you need
The original Apple Pencil is gloss white, completely round, and features a silver ring near the rear. Behind the ring is a removable cap that gives you access to the Lighting port to charge the pencil. Again, it costs $99 from Apple.
The Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) has a less shiny matte white finish, and is flat on one side so it doesn't roll as easily. It has no silver band in the back, and instead of a Lightning port, it charges wirelessly when it's attached to the iPad. This Pencil is magnetic, so it sticks to the iPad for storage and charging. It costs $129 from Apple.
Apple offers the option of engraving a short text message (such as your name, initials, or phone number) into an Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) for free when you order it online. You can't engrave the original Apple Pencil.
The original Apple Pencil works with these iPads:
- iPad Air (3rd generation, released in 2019)
- iPad mini (5th generation, released in 2019)
- iPad (6th generation, released in 2018)
- iPad (7th generation, set to release on September 30, 2019)
