Unable to connect Apple Pencil 1 to my new iPad 10 generation

The Apple Pencil 1 does not connect to my new iPad 10 generation. I don’t see the “match option”. Why ?

When I checked through: Apple Pencil compatibility - Apple Support

Eg: says:

Apple Pencil (1st generation)


You can use Apple Pencil (1st generation) with these iPad models:


  • iPad mini (5th generation)
  • iPad (6th, 7th, 8th and 9th generation)
  • iPad (10th generation)*
  • iPad Air (3rd generation)
  • iPad Pro 12.9-inch (1st and 2nd generation)
  • iPad Pro 10.5-inch
  • iPad Pro 9.7-inch


* You need the USB-C to Apple Pencil Adapter to pair and charge Apple Pencil with iPad (10th generation).

So seems you need either the USB-C Pencil Adaptor, or perhaps an Apple Pencil (USB-C) in order to connect.
