I have the 11th-generation A16 iPad and am looking to buy an Apple Pencil. I’ve been considering the 2nd-generation Pencil, and the Apple Store app tells me that it is compatible with my iPad. However, when I check online, it says the 2nd-generation Pencil isn’t compatible with the 2022 or 2025 models. I just want someone to confirm whether it really is compatible or not, as I don’t want to waste money. 🥲
