Users pair Apple Pencil with compatible iPad models using specific steps
Tech guides explain how to connect an Apple Pencil to various iPad devices.

Pairing process depends on model
The exact method for linking the stylus changes based on which version you own. Owners of the USB-C Apple Pencil must slide open the end of the device to show the port. They then connect it to the tablet with a suitable cable before tapping the on-screen prompt.
Compatibility limits exist for some
Apple has created roadblocks regarding which iPads work with its own accessories. Cheaper alternatives might function better than the official tools in certain situations. Some users find keyboards and mice more useful than a stylus for general input.
