My Apple Pencil is not connecting with my iPad air

Pencil 1st generation will only connect if you have an iPad Air 3rd generation.

Check your iPad Settings > General > About > Model Number > tap here to see the number starting with A????

What is the “A” model number of this iPad, please.

We need the complete “A” model number to determine if you are using the correct Apple Pencil with the correct, compatible iPad model.

Is it A1474, A1475?
