Yes, technically it’s the same because they stated they’re the same for all models but then they provided a web link to the Apple website that states the current purchase of tips in a four pack is compatible with all models. It doesn’t state on the website, the Tips purchased seven years ago will also work on today’s models. I was just trying to add a clarification for other users who may read this and have the same question as me. I’m an engineer And understand that things can be reverse compatible and sold today for suitable use with things going back quite a few years but as you must know with Apple or any company, there will be things made years ago that will not work on the new products. In this case, they are interchangeable as the first respondent stated, but they didn’t state how that was known, having provided only a link to indicate in apples product detail information or description that these four tips for sale today work with any vintage of on any Apple pencil product.
Me, myself, I have an 2024 M4 iPad Pro and an original 2018 10 1/2 inch iPad Pro with the original Apple Pencil and recall that in the box came 1 or two extra tips.
So when I was looking online to have found this answer hit the the web link provided to say Tips bought for $20 today from Apple will work on all models including my original pencil of 7 yrs ago.
However it did not answer my question (and possibly the question of others) as to whether an Apple Pencil tip from an original pencil era would work fast forwarding to eight years to today’s Apple Pencil Pro.
While the first respondent said yes that tips are the same for all models it wasn’t clear if that was an inference made by them because they see a website through Apple that sells something today only specifically listing backwards compatibility.
My clarification was to confirm I phoned Apple, who stated :
-the first tip can be used on the latest pencil
-the latest tip can be used on the first pencil
-tips sold today will work on all pencils
It kind of covers all the bases with additional clarity and verbal confirmation from Apple representative beyond just assuming that a web link that only states backwards compatibility would also apply to forward compatibility. Because it doesn’t so explicitly on the website.
So hopefully that further clarifies my intention for supplementing the answer of the first respondent.
