Apple Pencil 1st gen to iPad Air 4th gen

Hello,

i had a question about connecting my Apple Pencil 1st gen to my Apple iPad Air 4th gen. The connecting port is impossible to connect with one another so I’d like to know if there’s an adapter that could be used to connect those two devices.. it’d be very disappointing if there isn’t. Because customers shouldn’t have to buy a whole new device only because one was updated. I hope there’s an adapter for this! Thanks.
