Is your Apple Pencil compatible with your iPad model? Here is Apple’s definitive compatibility list for Apple Pencil and iPad:
Apple Pencil compatibility - Apple Support
Different models of Apple Pencil use different pairing and charging interfaces...
The second generation Pencil can only be used with specific iPad models that have the magnetic/inductive dock that is exclusively designed for the Pencil. Charging is controlled via the iPad magnetic dock.
While the new Apple Pencil Pro is similar to the second generation Pencil, due to a redesign of the inductive charging system, the Apple Pencil Pro is only compatible with the just-released 2024 iPad's Pro M4 and Air M2. This Pencil is not compatible with any other model of iPad.
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.
The USB-C Pencil can be used with any model of iPad that features a USB-C port.
In summary, the Apple Pencil models are not interchangeable - and can only be used with the iPad that has appropriate internal hardware.
