iPad 9th generation vs iPad Air 4th generation I just ordered the iPad 9th generation last night for my 7 year old daughter but am now realizing that she can’t use the new Apple Pencil with it, which is why she wants a new ipad to begin with! Will the iPad Air 4th generation work with it and if what is the differences in the iPad Air vs 9th generation ipad? Is it just the size?

No.

It will not.

The 2018, 6th gen iPad needs the 1st gen Apple Pencil with the silver band near the top.

You will need to exchange that 2nd gen Apple Pencil for a 1st gen one.
