The USB-C Apple Pencil fixes the iPad charging issue people complain about

Apple on Tuesday morning unveiled only one product, the new Apple Pencil . I'm still in disbelief that's the only product refresh of the day from Apple. As a reminder, we've been expecting iPad 11, iPad mini 7, and iPad Air 6 announcements from Apple. Yet they're still missing in action. That said, the new Apple Pencil is going to be exciting news to artists, creators, and people who love using the stylus to take notes on their iPads.

The tablets do come with USB-C cables in the box. And you might already own plenty of similar cables from other gadgets. The Apple Pencil won't charge magnetically when attached to an iPad. Apple expressly addresses this behavior in the press release, revealing that the USB-C Apple Pencil goes into a sleep state to preserve battery life when docked. A sliding cap reveals a USB-C port, enabling customers to use a USB-C cable to connect to the new Apple Pencil for pairing and charging.
