I know all of you have been wondering if we can connect an Apple Pencil 1 with the new iPad pro 2020. Every other data I have gone through says that it is not possible. So can we really connect it?
How to pair a new Apple pencil?
Connecting a new apple pencil to an iPad is really not a difficult task. It is rather a pretty straightforward one. The only step you have to follow is to charge that Apple Pencil with the iPad and it would connect immediately.
But to connect an old Apple Pencil with a new model of iPad. Apple itself doesn’t recommend using these devices with each other.
Connecting an Old Apple Pencil with iPad pro 2020
Most of the people throughout the internet say that this is not possible to connect an old Apple pencil to a newer version of the Apple iPad. The reason is that both of the devices obey different mechanisms and as compared to the Apple pencil 2, Apple pencil one does not have a magnetic mechanism.
Apple Pencil can only be used with Apple compatible devices of old generations which get connected by joining the lightning port from the iPad to Apple pencil.
Itself Apple is very responsible for agreeing in compatibility of the Apple pencil and has also mentioned it on their website.
