Can you charge the Apple Pencil on the iPhone?

With the Apple Pencil, it is possible to draw on your iPad as if it were a sheet of paper. But in order to use the Pencil without any problems, you need to charge it regularly. Note that depending on the generation of the Pencil, you may not be able to charge it in the same way.

How to charge the Apple Pencil via iPhone

The Pencil from Apple allows you to make fine drawings on the iPad. However, not every Pencil is also compatible with every iPad. For this reason, it is important to pay attention to the generation of the pen. But it is not only the compatibility and functionality that differs between the two generations of the Apple Pencil. There are also differences when it comes to charging. So it is possible to charge the second generation also wirelessly.

1. The original of the Pencil has a Lightning connector for charging. You can charge this on the iPhone or also via Lightning adapter.
2. To be able to charge the Pencil on your smartphone, you must first remove the cap at the top of the Pencil and then connect the two devices with an appropriate Lightning cable.
3. Since the latest Pencil no longer has a physical connector, you can only charge it wirelessly. For this, you need to attach it to the magnetic surface of your iPad, for example. The pen is then charged automatically. This is faster than its predecessor, but may also have disadvantages.
