• The first Apple Pencil was released in 2015 and supported a wide range of devices: from iPad 6th generation, iPad Air 3rd generation, iPad mini 5th generation to all iPad Pro models.
• The second-generation stylus was introduced in 2018 with significantly expanded capabilities, including magnetic attachment to a compatible iPad and wireless charging. There’s a new pointing function and double-tap gesture to quickly switch between on-screen tools.
• Last year, a model with USB Type-C charging support and marking functions but without a pressure sensor was added to the two existing pens. The Apple Pencil (USB-C) had a magnetic connection to the iPad but did not support wireless charging.

The need to keep older models for compatibility with older iPads has led to the simultaneous existence of four different versions of the Apple Pencil:

• Apple Pencil (USB-C) — $79;
• Apple Pencil (first generation) — $99;
• Apple Pencil (second generation) – $129;
• Apple Pencil Pro – $129.
