iPad Air (3rd) Generation Apple Pencil NOT Connecting I just replaced my 10.5" iPad Pro with iPad Air (3rd Generation). Im unable to connect my 1st generation Apple Pencil with the Air. I contacted Apple support. They replaced my NEW iPad Air with a replacement Air. Im not able to connect my pencil with this replaced iPad Air either. My pencil connects and works with my wife's 12.9" iPad Pro. My Pencil connects and works with my daughter's 9.7". iPad Pro. My daughters 1ST Generation Apple Pencil WILL NOT connect with either of the iPad Air's I had. Pencil is fully charged and Ive tried all the support recommendations without success. Is there a problem out there with iPad Air's and Apple Pencils that is hidden from customers? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I cannot connect to my apple pencil I tries to follow the steps mentioned in the website to connect to my apple pencil. But I am still not able to connect it. It is showing “apple pencil” when attached, blinking but not showing percentage level or whether it is charging. in Bluetooth option I can’t find Apple Pencil as well.

An iPad Air 3rd generation is compatible with Apple Pencil 1st generation only.
