No. It is not compatible.


The second gen pencil is only compatible with pro models at this point in time and the first gen is only compatible with the following models

  • iPad Air (3rd generation)
  • iPad mini (5th generation)
  • iPad (6th and 7th generation)
  • iPad Pro 12.9-inch (1st and 2nd generation)
  • iPad Pro 10.5-inch
  • iPad Pro 9.7-inch
