Apple Pencil
I have an iPad Air 5th gen. Does a first generation Apple Pencil work with it?
iPad Air, iPadOS 15
No, iPad Air 5th generation needs a 2cd generation Apple Pencil:
Apple Pencil (2nd generation)
You can use Apple Pencil (2nd generation) with these iPad models:
- iPad mini (6th generation)
- iPad Air (4th generation and later)
