The first and second generation Apple Pencil have entirely different pairing and charging requirements. The two models of Pencil are not interchangeable.


The iPad9 supports pairing and charging using your iPad’s Lightning Port. Support for the second generation Apple Pencil cannot be added through a software update; iPad9 lacks the inductive/magnetic charging dock hardware that is required by the second generation Pencil.
