For some reason , Apple sells three accessories all named Apple Pencil , each with dissimilar features and compatibility . The solution ? A fourth Apple Pencil !
The novel Apple Pencil Pro may seem like an unnecessary complicatedness to a stylus lineup for an supplement that should n’t call for alineup , but there ’s no contestation that it does n’t deliver the feature everyone wants . Apple Pencil Pro await just like the 2d - generation Apple Pencil , and it supports all the same feature include magnetized charging and pairing , twofold - tap , and tilt and pressure sensitivity . But it also adds four Modern features we ’ve wanted in an Apple Pencil for a long time :
All this and it be the same as the 2nd - contemporaries Apple Pencil : $ 129 .
The divergence is compatibility : The 2nd - gen Apple Pencil is supported by the last few years ’ iPad Pro and iPad Air model , butnotthe new M2 iPad Air and M4 iPad Pro . Apple Pencil Pro supportsonlythe young M2 iPad Air ( both sizes ) and M4 iPad Pro ( both size of it ) .
It stands to rationality that Apple will shortly come down its Apple Pencil argument from four to two — when older iPad Air and Pro example are no longer uncommitted . Apple has already stop selling the 9th - generation iPad with a Lightning connector , so it stands to reason that the original Apple Pencil is no longer needed , but Apple will presumably still betray it until the 10th - gen iPad gets an update . For now , the stylus situation is obnubilate enough that Apple had to make a feature chart :
