None of the Apple Pencils can be charged wirelessly on the iPad 10th generation. The Apple Pencil (USB-C) and Apple Pencil 1st generation are compatible with the iPad 10th generation, but none of them can be charged wirelessly.

The only iPad models that support wireless charging of an Apple Pencil are:

  • iPad Pro 13-inch (M4)
  • iPad Pro 11-inch (M4)
  • iPad Air 13-inch (M2)
  • iPad Air 11-inch (M2)
  • iPad mini (6th generation)
  • iPad Air (4th or 5th generation)
  • iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th generation)
  • iPad Pro 11-inch (1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th generation)


All other iPad models that support Apple Pencil can only pair or charge the Pencil by connecting the Pencil directly (or via a USB cable) to the host iPad's Lightning port - or using a USB cable and adapter.


Here is Apple's definitive compatibility list for Apple Pencil and iPad:
