iPad mini 4

The iPad mini4 does not support either version of the Apple Pencil - as it lacks the specific screen hardware with which the Pencil interacts with the iPad screen.

If you wish to use an Apple Pencil, you will have to change your iPad to a recent model; all current models of iPad support either the first or second generation Pencil. You should note that an iPad will support either the first or second generation Pencil; Pencils are not interchangeable.
