Yes, despite being newer the USB-C one is a downgrade. No wireless charging and no pressure sensitivity.
Unfortunately that is how Amazon works. They have asked me multiple times to return exact same item instead of price matching. Even though this would be a loss to them. So I've placed the order for same item again for lower price and had to return previously ordered even if it was used and within return period.
Hope this helps,

Bought one $119 on amazon last week. Does it work I buy again and return it for previous order? Amazon doesn't even price match itself.

Wondering if Apple night be getting ready to discontinue this particular model of the pencil. Practically speaking, there are several alternatives offering better value than the pencil 2. We purchased a pencil 2 and later found out if it wasn't kept charged, it could permanently brick the device. Plus the exclusive features offered by pencil 2 (pressure sensitivity) wasnt something a must have feature for us especially for the extra cost.
Moreover, Apple's customer service isn't what it used to be. In the past, they would work with customer to find a cost effective solution even if the item was past warranty. Now, they seem to be more interested in upselling- based on two Genius Bar experiences since last summer, one for daughters AirPods and other for aforementioned pencil 2. Both times advice was to buy new. Anyway, I will end my rant here because this is certainly a good discount compared to regular retail IF someone wants the features exclusive to this model AND can ensure device is charged regularly.
We are happy with our alternative (with which this message was "scribbled" on the iPad) that offers better charging (usb-c AND wireless through iPad Pro) without pressure sensitivity of pencil 2. Smilie
Just my $0.02. Good luck.

Yes, despite being newer the USB-C one is a downgrade. No wireless charging and no pressure sensitivity.
IMHO, downgrade is subjective when taking into consideration that the pencil 2 needs to maintain minimal charge otherwise it can brick the device. The pencil 2 we purchased for our high schooler was nice AS LONG AS she used it all of last summer with her iPad pro for sketching etc. Once school started, she wasn't using it as regularly and it sat unused in drawer for few months. So when she tried using it during holidays it wouldn't charge. Apple Genius Bar advice was to buy another one even though apples website indicate "battery service" for $30.
Needless to say she decided to buy an alternative that cost her less than Apples so called battery service, has both wireless charging through iPad and usb-c charging and mimics pressure sensitivity well enough for her needs by offering similar capability using tilt.

Having said that this price is definitely great for people that NEED the features exclusive to pencil 2 but just wanted to share there are viable alternatives, especially since what has set Apple apart in the past (customer service, IMHO) seems to have changed more recently.
And yes, I am quite familiar with golden days of "One infinite loop" from past first hand experience in Bay Area or friends/family members still working there. Smilie

I believe this is the alternative she purchased mostly due to the extended return window offered by Amazon during holiday season through Jan 31: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CD7P1BTL
However there are definitely alternatives with even same exact functionality just different branding on other retailers like Aliexpress or even temu. Here's a relatively unbiased review of some alternatives: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcEPYzI6x7A
Even Quinn from Snazzy labs seemed to be impressed by the functionality of the alternative he got from Temu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uja3DwxkFz4
