Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
I use a rubber tipped stylus to open/close apps and navigation apps on my iPad Pro 2nd generation. Can I use an Apple Pencil to do that on a iPad Pro 6th generation?

Here is Apple’s definitive compatibility list for Apple Pencil and iPad:
Apple Pencil compatibility - Apple Support
The sixth generation iPad Pro 12.9" supports both the second generation and new USB-C Apple Pencils - but does not support the first generation Pencil.
The first and second generation Pencil use an entirely different pairing and charging interface...
The second generation Pencil can only be used with iPad models that have the magnetic/inductive dock that is exclusively designed for the Pencil. Charging is controlled via the iPad magnetic dock.
The first generation Apple Pencil uses the physical Lightning port of the Pencil and host iPad for both pairing and charging the first generation Pencil. The first generation Pencil can also be charged using an inline charging adapter and the iPad’s Power Adapter. This pencil can only be used with compatible iPad models that have a Lightning connector; with the sole exception of the new iPad10, requiring a special adapter, iPad models that feature a USB-C port lack any means by which to pair with a first generation Pencil.
In summary, the Apple Pencil models are not interchangeable - and can only be used with the iPad that has appropriate internal hardware.
sure, if you go to their pen page they list which pen support what ipads
Is Apple Pencil compatible with iPad Pro 6th generation?
