Questions & Answers for Apple Pencil (1st Generation)

The manner in which the Apple Pencil interacts with your device depends on how the apps you use decide to interpret the input from the Pencil. Some apps use it like a normal finger tap, while others recognize it as a separate tool and allow separate actions (such as pressure-sensitive and/or angle-sensitive input) with the Pencil. On the system level, iOS treats the pencil largely the same as your finger with a few key exceptions in various places.

No. The Apple Pencil only works with select iPads, as of this writing. (All iPad Pros with a home button, and select non-Pro iPads) The iPhone 6s lacks the required hardware to be compatible with the Apple Pencil.

Part number is in the URL. For apple pencil, URL ends with "shop/product/MK0C2AM/A/apple-pencil". Therefore, part number is "MK0C2AM/A".

They used to show it in your "Bag" for each product, but for some reason is only listed in URL now.
