Yes, some Apple Pencil models are magnetic.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Apple Pencil (2nd Generation): This model magnetically attaches to the side of compatible iPad Pro and iPad Air models. It charges wirelessly while attached.
-
Apple Pencil (1st Generation): This model does not magnetically attach to any iPad. It charges via a Lightning connector.
-
Apple Pencil (USB-C): While this Apple Pencil attaches magnetically to the side of compatible iPads, it does not charge wirelessly. Its purpose is storage and sleep state activation to preserve battery. It has a USB-C port for charging.
Therefore, the answer depends on which Apple Pencil model you're referring to. The 2nd generation Apple Pencil and the USB-C model are magnetic, while the 1st generation is not.
