Sorry, but your first generation Apple Pencil is not compatible with the 2020 iPad Pro models.


The first generation Apple Pencil requires the iPad to have a Lightning Port - with which to “pair” and charge the Apple Pencil. The 2018 and 2020 iPad Pro models do not have a Lightning Port.


Your 2020 iPad Pro is only compatible with the second generation Apple Pencil.
