Apple Pencil 1 is not compatible with your iPad, which is iPad Pro 11 (1st gen) because your pencil has a Lightning connector and your iPad has an USB-C port, so it can’t be connected. To pair your iPad with Apple Pencil, you need to buy Apple Pencil (2nd generation).


Models that are compatible with Apple Pencil 1

  • iPad Pro 12.9 (1st/2nd generation)
  • iPad Pro 10.5
  • iPad Pro 9.7
  • iPad (6th generation and later)
  • iPad Air (3rd generation)
  • iPad mini (5th generation)


Models that are compatible with Apple Pencil 2

  • iPad Pro 12.9 (3rd generation and later)
  • iPad Pro 11
  • iPad Air (4th generation and later)
  • iPad mini (6th generation)


Hope that helps.
