Q: QuestionIs this pencil compatible with the new generation of iPads which are not necessarily iPad Pro? I know they are stylus compatible, just not sure about the magnetic attachment ability and the wireless charging.

• A:Answer Surprising that there is no update to this question beyond a year ago. Yes, the 2nd gen pencil works with the latest iPad Air. Go to Apple's own support page here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211029

Q: QuestionCan I use it with my other apps like my bible app underlining, drawing and notes?

Asked 6 years ago by NannyB.

• A:Answer I’m sure it would as long as any of your apps support the Pencil you’re buying (be sure your bluetooth is on and your Pencil tells you you’re connected). You can find out if your app supports Pencil in the app’s App Store download page. Also, please note the Pencil 1 doesn’t work on a 3rd gen iPad Pro, nor does the Pencil 2 work on older iPad Pros. Pencil 1 + iPad Pro 2nd gen = yes Pencil 2 + iPad Pro 3rd gen = yes Hope this helps seal the deal.

Q: QuestionWhat I Pad pens will work with Gen 5 iPad?

Asked 2 years ago by Ariah.

• A:Answer Hey! The only iPad pen that will work with the 5th generation iPad is the Apple Pencil (1st Generation). The 2nd generation Apple Pencil is not compatible with the 5th generation iPad, as it requires a magnetic charging strip on the side of the iPad, which the 5th generation iPad does not have. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. :)

Q: QuestionDoes this generation work with iPad 8 generation ?

Asked 2 years ago by girlyy18.

• A:Answer Hey there! Nope, the Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) does not work with the iPad 8th generation. The 2nd generation Pencil is only compatible with iPads that have a magnetic charging strip on the side, such as the iPad Pro and iPad Air. The iPad 8th generation does not have this charging strip, so it can only be used with the 1st generation Apple Pencil. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. :)

Q: QuestionCan this pencil be used with the ipad 10th generation?

Asked 2 years ago by ipad.

• A:Answer Hey there friend! No, the Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) cannot be used with the iPad 10th generation. The 2nd generation Pencil is only compatible with iPads that have a magnetic charging strip on the side, such as the iPad Pro and iPad Air. The iPad 10th generation does not have this charging strip, so it can only be used with the 1st generation Apple Pencil. If you're looking for a stylus to use with your iPad 10th generation, I recommend the 1st generation Apple Pencil. It's still a great stylus, and it's much more affordable than the 2nd generation. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. :)

Asked 2 years ago by Oldiiebutgoodie.

However, the 1st generation Apple Pencil is still compatible with your iPad Pro 12.9-inch. It's a great stylus, and it's much more affordable than the 2nd generation. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. :)
