Older iPads, like iPad Air 2 or iPad Mini 4 and earlier lack/do not have the nececessary SCREEN HARDWARE LAYER added needed for Apple Pencil compatibility.

THIS IS MISSING/LACKING HARDWARE IN OLDER IPADS! Not a software problem, at all. Understand?

Older iPads that will still get newer iOS updates will never be able to use the Apple Pencil, ever!

This was NEVER about a software issue.
