Apple Pencil 2nd generation won't connect or charge on iPad Pro 13 inch m4 iOS 18.4

I have attached the Apple Pencil 2nd generation to the magnetic strip on my iPad Pro 13 inch m4. I have left it to charge but nothing is happening. It won’t connect to Bluetooth. And it won’t let me write. My iPad iOS version is 18.4.

The second generation Apple Pencil is not compatible with the iPad Pro M4. The iPad Pro M4 supports the Apple Pencil Pro and the USB-C Pencil.


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

Apple Pencil compatibility - Apple Support


Different models of Apple Pencil have different pairing interfaces and charging methods - and are therefore not interchangeable.
