Q: What is the difference between the pencil and the 2nd generation pencil? Are they compatible with an ipad mini 2?
A: The apple pencil 2nd generation is only compatible with the new 3rd generation ipad pro. The pencil is charged wirelessly with a magnetic connection to the side of the ipad. This is the only way to charge the pencil 2.
submitted byMatthew - 6 years agoA: Improved battery life and performance. Plus, the Apple Pencil 2 is redesigned and charges through the magnet (no lightning port like the first pencil) that is located on the side of the iPad Pro 3rd gen. It also supports gestures such as double-tapping which switches between tools in apps that support this feature. Unfortunately, the apple pencil (both gens) will not work on any iPad minis, not even the 4. The Apple Pencil 1 will only work on the first generation of Pro's (9.7 and 12.9"), second generation (10.5 and 12.9") and the 6th generation iPad - that currently goes for $329. The Apple Pencil 2 only works on the iPad Pro 3rd gen (11 or 12.9"). The Apple Pencil 1 will not work with the current generation of Pro's. Original Apple Pencil is $99, while the new improved version is $129. Hope that helps.
