Apple Pencil compatibility


Apple Pencil (2nd generation)

You can use Apple Pencil (2nd generation) with these iPad models: 

  • iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation) and later
  • iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation) and later


Apple Pencil (1st generation)

You can use Apple Pencil (1st generation) with these iPad models:

  • iPad Pro 12.9-inch (1st or 2nd generation)
  • iPad Pro 10.5-inch
  • iPad Pro 9.7-inch
  • iPad Air (3rd generation)
  • iPad (7th generation)
  • iPad (6th generation)
  • iPad mini (5th generation)

Not sure which iPad you have? Identify your iPad model.


If you have a fifth generation iPad, as you’ll see from the compatibility list, your iPad does not support Apple Pencil. Support for Apple Pencil was introduced with the next generation of iPad - iPad6.


Sorry, whilst I’m sure this is disappointing news, I hope this clarification is helpful.
