How do I tell which model of apple pen I have

I have an apple pen and don’t know what model I have. I don’t see a part to plug in the charge, just a point with a little disc on it that makes contact with the screen.

Look at the pictures in the support document you posted from and compare them to your own pencil.


If it has a flat side that says Pencil, its a Second Generation Apple Pencil.

If it is completely cylindrical and has a silver ring at the top with a cap that can be removed, it's a First Generation Apple Pencil.
