Charging Apple Pencil Pro without iPad

Hello folks,


I just purchased the new Apple Pencil Pro and I find it inconceivable that there isn’t a stand alone charger for the pencil. Paring it with my iPad for charging is quite ridiculous. Anyone know of an alternative method for charging the pencil?


Apple…I hope you read these questions.

Hello lagunabob,


Apple does not allow you to charge the Apple Pencil Pro without an iPad: Pair and charge Apple Pencil Pro with iPad - Apple Support. However, if you do not need all of the features of the Apple Pencil Pro and are still within the return window, you may consider the Apple Pencil USB-C which can charge with any USB-C cable available: Pair and charge Apple Pencil (USB-C) with iPad - Apple Support.


Let me know if you have any more questions.


Enjoy the holidays!
