The new Apple Pencil USB-C is the long-awaited refresh for the stylus and follows the iPhone 15's footsteps in acquiring a brand-spankin'-new port.
This is the first time since 2018 that the Apple Pencil has received an update, and with this new variant out on the market, I had a lotof questions. How does it differ from the second-generation Apple Pencil? Which iPads is it compatible with? Are there any benefits to using the Apple Pencil USB-C over any other model?
Like many of you, my mind was spinning with questions, but thanks to a recent hands-on experience with Apple Pencil USB-C, I've got some clarity about it now.
I tried out the Apple Pencil USB-C with the 10th-gen iPad.Credit: AppleWhen I tried the Apple Pencil (USB-C) for the first time, I took it for a spin with the 10th-gen iPad, so that answers your question about at least one of the models the new stylus supports. But what about the other tablets?

12.9-inch iPad Pro (3rd to 6th gen)
11-inch iPad Pro (1st to 4th gen)
iPad Air (4th and 5th gen)
iPad (10th gen)
iPad mini (6th gen)
Before the Apple Pencil (USB-C)'s debut, 10th-gen iPad users could only use the first-generation Apple Pencil. Now, with the new USB-C stylus, 10th-gen iPad owners have two Apple Pencils they can choose from. Win!
While wandering around social media, I noticed many folks questioning why one would opt for the USB-C Apple Pencil when its predecessor, the Apple Pencil 2, offers wireless charging.
The Apple Pencil USB-C has a specific target audience: budget-conscious users who simply want to take notes, make annotations, journal, and draft up digital plans. After all, the USB-C Apple Pencil is only $79. The second-gen Apple Pencil, on the other hand, will set you back $129.

And unlike the Apple Pencil USB-C, the Apple Pencil 2 has pressure sensitivity, making it ideal for creators who want to make digital masterpieces, calligraphy, and pro-level artwork. The Apple Pencil USB-C, on the other hand, is ideal for users — students, for example — who don't need a sophisticated stylus.
Still, when I used the new Apple Pencil USB-C across several iPadOS apps, from Goodnotes to Animatic, I found the Apple Pencil to be as seamless as putting pen to paper. Hell, I'd argue that's even smoother than that — like a figure skater gliding on ice — thanks to its tilt sensitivity and low latency.
For less than $80, it's a good, affordable option.Credit: Kimberly Gedeon / MashablePlus, it's nice that the iPad I was using had excellent palm rejection, so I could comfortably sketch and draw without my hands getting in the way.
Yes, it's more convenient to opt for the second-gen Apple Pencil, but the loss of that luxury nets you a more affordable Apple Pencil for less than $80. On the plus side, you can still magnetically attach the Apple Pencil USB-C to your iPad, but it won't charge wirelessly.
If you remember, the first-gen Apple Pencil charges via a lighting cable. To access the port, you need to twist open the top cap, which was super easy to lose. Now, the new Apple Pencil USB-C has a sliding cap, which I kept playing with over and over again — it's like the new fidget spinner.
That cap isn't going any damn where. So if you plan on gifting this Apple Pencil to a young whippersnapper, you needn't worry about them losing the cap and running around with a headless stylus.
The European Union (EU) mandate requiring that all mobile phones, tablets, and cameras sold in the EU have USB-C ports likely played a part in this update, but it's a welcome refresh for iPad owners who don't want to splurge nearly $200 on an Apple pen.
What was even more intriguing during my hands-on experience was how well apps like Animatic, an incredible platform that made me feel like a pro animator in seconds, worked seamlessly with the Apple Pencil. I thought it was pretty cool that I could upload my animated creations to Freeform, too.

Any of you known for having awful handwriting should be using "Tidy Up" before subjecting others to your chicken scratch.
I look forward to experimenting with the Apple Pencil USB-C thoroughly. Stay tuned for the full review!
The Apple Pencil USB-C will be available some time in early November.
