USB-C or lightning?

• akersten 7y ago
  It is compatible with the 1st Gen Pencil only, which has a Lightning plug to charge it, so I presume that the iPad has a corresponding Lightning port.

  I'd assume no change, so lightning, since they didn't mention it.

  It's compatible with 1st Gen Apple Pencil which charges through Lightning... so lightning I guess. Disappointing though :/

    >Disappointing though :/ Esp as it makes it less likely new iPhone will be USB.

      The iPhone 11 is also Lightning. So, if I'm remembering correctly, only the current iPad Pros are USB-C.

        > only the current iPad Pros are USB-C Correct, but the new iPhones come with a USB-C charger and a USB-C to Lightning cable, so at least that’s a step in the right direction.

    There’s something completely whackadoo about charging an iPad and then discharging the iPad in order to charge the pencil.

      It also comes with a female to male Lightning adapter so you can charge it off a USB charger, charging it off the iPad is intented to be a "on-the-go" backup solution, not the primary way you charge it.

  Lightning, so all the schools with the classroom cabinet will just have to swap the iPads and not the power supplies. Plus all the accessories still work.
