Apple Ipad Air and pen

I have the Ipad Air and I was wondering if the Apple pen works for this device. I have read online and it says only compatible with the ipad pro but someone else said that it works so I just want to make sure before I buy the pen

The original iPad Air and Air 2 are not compatible with the Apple Pencil. Neither of these models have the necessary screen hardware.


However, the current (i.e., 2019 - 3rd Generation) iPad Air is compatible with the original (1st Generation) Apple Pencil.


I hope you find this clarification to be helpful.
