Hello,
Is there an apple pencil for the iPad 7 Air?
My iPad has a USB-C plug, but the apple pencil i have found have a lightning input.
Is there an adapter where i can plug the pencil with the lightning cord into an adapter for devices with USB-C?
Thanks!

The Apple Pencil models are not interchangeable - and can only be used with the iPad that has appropriate internal hardware.
The first and second generation Pencil use an entirely different pairing and charging interface. The second generation Pencil can only be used with iPad models that have the magnetic/inductive dock that is exclusively designed for the Pencil. Charging is controlled via the iPad magnetic dock; the second generation Pencil cannot be charged using a charging mat or Qi charging solutions.
The first generation Apple Pencil, uses the physical Lightning port for both pairing and charging the first generation Pencil. This pencil can only be used with compatible iPad models that have a Lightning connector.
Here is the definitive compatibility list for Apple Pencil and iPad:
Apple Pencil (2nd generation)
You can use Apple Pencil (2nd generation) with these iPad models:
Apple Pencil (1st generation)
You can use Apple Pencil (1st generation) with these iPad models:

But "iPad 7 air" doesn't exist. If you have an iPad AIR and it has USB-C charging port, most likely it is an iPad 4th generation. Should be this case, you need an Apple Pencil 2nd generation. The one you have found is a 1st generation.
