Overview
The Apple USB-C to Apple Pencil (1st Gen) Adapter is an official accessory that allows you to charge and pair your first-generation Apple Pencil with a USB-C equipped iPad. It is essential for owners of the 10th-generation iPad, which uses USB-C instead of Lightning. The adapter is small and white, with a Lightning female port on one end and a USB-C male connector on the other, so you can plug your Pencil into it and then into a USB-C cable or directly into the iPad.
Key Features
- Official Apple product ensuring full compatibility with Apple Pencil (1st gen)
- Enables charging via USB-C on iPad (10th gen) and other USB-C iPad models
- Compact and easy to carry
- Also supports pairing of the Pencil with the iPad
- White color matches Apple's design language
Compatibility
The adapter is compatible with:
- Apple Pencil (1st generation)
- iPad (10th generation)
- Other USB-C iPads (iPad Pro 11-inch/12.9-inch, iPad Air 4th gen and later, iPad mini 6th gen) – but note that the Pencil itself is 1st gen, so its features like pressure sensitivity work but wireless charging is not available.
Ideal for
- Owners of iPad 10th gen who already have an Apple Pencil (1st gen)
- Anyone who wants to charge their Pencil using a USB-C cable instead of Lightning
- Users who prefer official Apple accessories for peace of mind
Cautions
The Apple Pencil (1st generation) cannot connect directly to a USB-C port without this adapter. It is not compatible with the 2nd generation Apple Pencil or the newer USB-C Apple Pencil model. The adapter is small and easy to misplace, so consider keeping it attached to your Pencil charging cable.
