It pairs, charges and is stored on the side of the new iPad Air and iPad Pro through a new magnetic interface. iPad Air and iPad Pro also support Apple Pencil (USB-C), ideal for note taking, sketching, annotating, journalling and more, at an incredible value.
With the new line-up, each iPad model now has two great Apple Pencil options. The new iPad Air and iPad Pro work with the most advanced Apple Pencil Pro and affordable Apple Pencil (USB-C). iPad mini supports Apple Pencil (2nd generation) and Apple Pencil (USB-C), and iPad (10th generation) works with Apple Pencil (1st generation) and Apple Pencil (USB-C).
The all-new thinner and lighter Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro includes a function row for quick access to convenient features like screen brightness, and a gorgeous aluminium palm rest and larger trackpad that’s even more responsive with haptic feedback — so the entire experience feels just like using MacBook.
