Comparison of the new Apple Pencil USB-C with Apple Pencil 2nd and Apple Pencil 1st generation

   On October 17, Apple released its most budget-friendly Pencil with a USB-C port.
Unlike other pencils, this one is compatible with almost all iPads.
Of course, Apple tablets cannot be considered cheap tablets, but their demand is increasing day by day due to their convenience. And of course, what's an iPad without the Apple Pencil? It allows you to make notes, make sketches, make notes on documents.

Functions:

  The stores that sell tablets will confirm that all 3 pencils perform the same functions. The main differences here lie in the manner of use.
Although you can use the Apple Pencil USB-C with a magnet, you'll need to use your tablet's cable to charge it.
In addition, the model with USB-C receives support for the Hover function, through which you can search for the presence of your Apple Pencil.

Connection method:

   All Apple Pencil models connect to the iPad via Bluetooth, but the connection process is different for the 3 models. The second generation model is connected only with a magnet from the side of the iPad, the first generation is quite inconvenient, it is connected through the Lightning connector. Instead of Lightning, the Pencil USB-C includes a USB-C port designed to connect to an iPad via a USB-C to USB-C cable.

Compatibility

  iPad Air 3rd generation, iPad mini 5th generation, iPad Pro 9.7, iPad Pro 10.5, or the first two iPad Pro 12.9 models are only compatible with the first generation Apple Pencil.
The iPad 10th generation supports both the first Pencil and the version with USB-C.
Pencil 2 is compatible with 6th generation iPad mini, iPad Pro models (from 3rd generation).
Apple Pencil USB-C is supported by iPad Mini 6 to iPad Pro 12.9 models.
