No. The 6th generation iPad Mini is compatible with the second generation Apple Pencil only.


The physical charging port on the iPad prevents such a thing, since the first generation Apple pencil requires a Lightning port to pair and charge and the 6th generation iPad mini does not have a Lightning port.
