Can you use the Apple Pencil only with the iPad Pro?

If you would like to make drawings on your iPad or if the operation with your finger is too imprecise for you for some other reason, then it makes sense to use an Apple Pencil. There are now two generations of the Apple Pencil, but they are not compatible with all iPads.

Can you use the Apple Pencil with your iPad Pro?

Two generations of the Apple Pencil have been available for some time now. With these, the touch screen of your iPad can be easily controlled. In addition, it is possible to make detailed drawings or notes on the iPad. However, not every generation of the Pencil is also compatible with every tablet from Apple. This is mainly due to the fact that the pen accurately detects pressure strength and tilt angle. But this must also be supported by the tablet.

1. The first-generation Apple Pencil does not support the same functions as its successor. Also, the charging of the pen is done via a port, while the second generation can already be charged wirelessly.
2. The first generation is compatible with the iPad Air (3rd generation), iPad mini (5th generation), iPad Pro (12.9 inches, 1st and 2nd generation), iPad Pro (10.5 inches), iPad Pro (9.7 inches) and iPad (6th and 7th generation).
3. The compatibility of the second generation is compatible with far fewer devices. Aus diesem Grund sollten Sie den neuen Stift nur dann kaufen, wenn Sie ein neueres iPad besitzen. Hierzu gehören iPad Pro (12,9 Zoll, 3. Generation) und iPad Pro (11 Zoll).
