Apple Pencil USB-C Falls to $58.78 for Amazon Resale Buyers Ahead of iPhone Duo Support
Apple Pencil USB-C is the only model listed for iPhone Duo support. Amazon Resale’s Like New listing is down to $58.78 shipped, with limited stock.
The timing makes this Apple Pencil USB-C deal more useful for iPhone Duo owners: Apple Pencil support for the foldable is due to arrive next week, and the USB-C model is the only Pencil listed as compatible. Amazon Resale’s Used: Like New price has fallen to $58.78 shipped, though the listing appears to have little stock. A new unit is also available from Amazon for $69 shipped.
Those prices matter because having another Apple Pencil model already won’t solve the compatibility question. Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil 2 aren’t supported by iPhone Duo, according to the source. If you want to use a Pencil with the foldable when support arrives, the USB-C version is the one to consider.
Three prices, with different trade-offs
The regular Amazon listing puts Apple Pencil USB-C at $69 shipped, 13% below its usual $79 list price. That’s the clearest option for buyers who prefer a new item. The lower-cost route is Amazon Resale: the Used: Like New listing was $61.29 shipped, and the update to the source article reports a further drop to $58.78 shipped. The lower price comes with the practical uncertainty of limited stock and a used-condition grade.
Amazon’s Used: Like New description says the item should be in perfect working condition, with all essential accessories included. The packaging may be damaged. That makes this grade the most straightforward resale choice described in the listing, especially since the source says the Very Good option costs only $1 less. At that small a difference, the lower grade offers little obvious savings.
Used: Very Good items are described as fully functional and potentially lightly used, with minor cosmetic marks possible. They may arrive in damaged or replacement packaging and can be missing non-essential accessories; Amazon says any missing accessories should appear in the individual item description. Buyers should check that description before placing an order, since the condition label alone doesn’t spell out which accessories are included.
The Used: Good grade carries more uncertainty. Amazon describes these items as functional but potentially marked by moderate use, with minor cosmetic damage such as a small scratch. Packaging may be damaged or replaced, and some valuable accessories may be missing. If an absent accessory is needed, it may have to be bought separately before the Pencil can be used. For a saving of just a few dollars, that extra check may not be worthwhile.
Compatibility is the main buying decision
iPhone Duo’s Pencil support is expected to arrive with iOS 27.2 next week, earlier than anticipated in the source’s account. The support announcement is a software update detail, so the date and compatibility could matter to anyone buying the Pencil specifically for the foldable. The available information names Apple Pencil USB-C as the supported model; it doesn’t say that support extends to Apple Pencil Pro or Apple Pencil 2.
That distinction is useful for buyers who already own a Pencil. Check the model before choosing a deal: a lower price on an incompatible accessory wouldn’t help with iPhone Duo. Buyers who want to use a Pencil across devices should also confirm that the USB-C model suits their other devices and needs; the source gives no broader compatibility list or feature comparison.
For a new unit, $69 shipped is the simple reference price against the $79 list price. The Like New resale option is cheaper at $58.78 shipped in the latest update, if stock remains and the listed condition works for you. Its packaging may be imperfect, but Amazon’s description says the item is fully functional and includes its essential accessories. The Very Good option, at only $1 less than Like New in the source’s earlier pricing, looks like a modest saving for a less certain condition.
For more context on the foldable and the software change, see the iPhone Duo review and the report on Apple Pencil support arriving next week with iOS 27.2. The source also links to a report about Reachability coming to iPhone Duo later this year and details on where the device will be available for walk-ins.
If you’re buying for the new foldable, the model choice is settled by the stated compatibility: Apple Pencil USB-C. The remaining decision is whether a new unit at $69 is worth the extra cost over Amazon Resale’s Like New offer—and whether that lower-priced listing is still in stock when you check.
