How to use Apple Pencil in iPad 2017 version
Can you please confirm that I can use Apple Pencil in iPad 2017 version WiFi+cellular?
iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 11.3.1
The Apple Pencil DOES NOT work with last year’s, 2017 iPad, 5th generation.
Last year’s 2017, iPad 5th generation is missing an important screen technology layer that the new 2018 iPad 6th generation and current iPad Pro models have.
So, the Apple Pencil will never, EVER work with the 2017 iPad 5th generation.
I highly recommend the Adonit Pixel for your 2017 iPad.
I use one of these with my 1st gen iPad Pro and it is a very good stylus and works well with all of the recommended compatible apps.
It works across many models of iDevices and supports, at least, 2 dozen of the most popular apps.

Order DIRECTLY from Adonit to ensure you get a Bluetooth stylus with the latest, most up to date stylus firmware.
Good Luck to You!
