Hello Jonasdavid05,

Yes, you can use the Apple Pencil while your iPad is being charged. The Apple Pencil has its own battery and, even without an Apple Pencil, you can use your iPad while charging.

Apple Pencil 1st generation I just bought an iPad 10th generation and an Apple Pencil 1st generation. The pencil will not go into the charging port on the iPad. Is it a defect?

Question about charging Apple pencil I have an iPad and a 2nd gen Apple Pencil. Is it possible to keep the Apple Pencil connected (magnetized on the side) to the iPad all the time? Can this ruin the pencil battery? Usually I use Apple Pencil so that it discharges at least 70%, after which I put it on the iPad for charging, and keep it there all the time, even when it's already charged. Is it okay to continue doing this, or is it better to put the Apple Pencil away from ipad when it's fully charged?

Does Apple Pencil charge on iPhone I have an old Apple Pencil, 1st gen with lightning connector, and trying to figure out how I can charge and test it. All my devices are newer, and my iPad has a USB-C port. Plugged into my iPhone to see if that does anything, but so far, nothing. Is it just useless now?
