The Apple Week promotion at MediaMarkt, running through October 29th, features reductions on various Apple accessories, with the Apple Pencil range taking center stage. Simultaneously, Amazon is offering competitive pricing on select models, giving consumers a choice of retailers.
Here’s a breakdown of the current discounts:

These discounts represent significant savings, particularly on the second-generation Apple Pencil, which sees the largest price drop.
Compatibility is Key: Ensuring the Right Pencil for Your iPad
Before purchasing, it’s crucial to verify compatibility between the Apple Pencil and your iPad model. Apple’s support documentation (https://support.apple.com/de-de/108937) provides a detailed compatibility chart.
The recently released Apple Pencil Pro (introduced in October 2023) is not compatible with the standard iPad models equipped with the A16 Bionic chip. Users of these iPads must choose between the Apple Pencil USB-C or the original first-generation Apple Pencil.
The Apple Pencil 2nd Generation is limited to the following iPad models:
- iPad Mini (6th generation)
- iPad Air (4th and 5th generations)
- iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th generations)
- iPad Pro 11-inch (1st, 2nd, and 3rd generations)
Failing to check compatibility can result in purchasing a pencil that won’t function with your device. MediaMarkt stores across Germany offer in-person assistance to help customers determine the correct Apple Pencil for their iPad.
