To connect your USB-C Apple Pencil, you'll use a USB-C cable. Here's the process:
-
Slide open the end cap of your Apple Pencil to reveal the USB-C port.
-
Connect the USB-C charging cable (the one that came with your iPad) to the USB-C port on your Apple Pencil.
-
Connect the other end of the USB-C cable to the USB-C connector on your iPad.
-
Pairing: After connecting, you might need to pair the Apple Pencil with your iPad. If prompted, tap "Tap to Connect" on the iPad screen. This step might not always be necessary if the pencil and iPad are already associated.
This connection is primarily for charging and initial pairing. The USB-C Apple Pencil lacks wireless charging and pairing capabilities found in other Apple Pencil models.
