Apple pencil won’t work
I just bought a new iPad 10th gen, and the Apple pencil 1st gen worked on it just earlier today, but now it won’t work. I tried the Apple pencil on my older iPad, and it worked just fine.

Pair Apple Pencil with your iPad - Apple Support
The first generation Pencil is charged and paired from iPad10 using the iPad charging cable - and an Apple USB-C to Apple Pencil Adapter:
New first generation Pencils now ship with this special adapter in the box along with the Pencil. However, some older stock purchased from retailers may lack the USB-C to Lightning adapter - and may instead have an older Lightning to Lightning Adapter.
For owners of older first generation Pencils, or for “old stock” new Pencils, the new special adapter can be purchased directly from Apple as an accessory.
