As with all models of iPad that support inductive charging, the iPad has only one inductive charging dock for the Apple Pencil...


With the iPad screen facing you in Landscape orientation - with the USB-C port situated at the right-hand edge of the iPad - the Pencil charging dock will be positioned centrally at the top edge of the iPad. In this position, the iPad's front (selfie) camera will also be positioned at top-centre of the screen bezel.



More information about the position of various components can be found within the iPad User Guide. Here is direct link to the 13" model (the 11" model has an identical layout):
