With a new USB-C Apple Pencil available, here's what iPads work with which pencil, the main or lacking features, and more.

Today, Apple unveiled a new USB-C Apple Pencil. More affordable than the other models, it has some exclusive features of the 2nd-generation accessory while also lacking other functions that might be useful for your daily usage. In this article, we'll let you know with which iPad each Apple Pencil is compatible, the main or lacking features, and what's new with this accessory.

Pressure sensitivity, which responds naturally to pressure, from light touch to a deeper press, isn't available with the newer accessory, only with 1st and 2nd gens models. These are the features exclusively available for the 2nd generation Apple Pencil: • Wireless pairing and charging: Automatically pairs and charges when attached; • Double-tap to change tools: Quickly switch between tools; • Free engraving: Make it unmistakably yours.
