Select Apple Stores in the United States have suspended the sale of the first-generation Apple Pencil until stock improves for the USB-C to Lightning Adapter, which is needed to charge the pencil with the new entry-level iPad, MacRumors has learned.
The 10th-generation iPad is only compatible with the first-generation ?Apple Pencil?, which is equipped with a USB-C port. To charge the pencil with the ?iPad?, customers must use a USB-C to Lightning Adapter that was at one point last week facing up to a one-month delay.
Since the adapter is needed to charge the pencil with the new ?iPad?, some Apple Store locations have decided to take the first-generation ?Apple Pencil? off their shelves until the stock of the adapter improves. The move will ensure customers of the new ?iPad? are not left without a way to charge their ?Apple Pencil?. The new ?iPad? was made available for purchase at Apple Stores this week. According to Apple’s online store, the USB-C to Lightning Adapter is estimated to ship in one to two weeks.
