The second generation Apple Pencil is only compatible with iPad models that feature an inductive/magnetic charging dock that is explicitly designed for pairing/charging the second generation Pencil. 


The iPad10 does not have an inductive charging dock - principally as the front-facing camera has been relocated to the centre of the long-edge of the screen - and now occupies the internal cavity that might otherwise house the inductive charging dock components. As such, the iPad10 instead supports the first generation Apple Pencil that is paired and charged via the iPad’s USB-C port.
