Because iPad Mini 4 doesn't support Apple Pencil. If you want an iPad which supports Apple Pencil, you need one of the following iPad's:


  • iPad Pro, 12.9-inch (2015).
  • iPad Pro, 9.7-inch (2016).
  • iPad Pro, 10.5-inch (2017).
  • iPad Pro, 12.9-inch (2017)
  • iPad Pro 11-inch and 12.9-inch 2018
  • iPad Pro 11-inch and 12.9-inch 2020
  • iPad (2018)
  • iPad Air 3 (2019).
  • iPad mini 5 (2019).


There are however, alternative electronic stylus you can check out. One of the most recommended is the Adonit Pixel.
