Apple’s solution for drawing and handwritten notes on the iPad is the Apple Pencil, but might be one of the company’s most confusing products. The first-generation model with a Lightning port has remained available alongside the second-generation Pencil with magnetic charging, and when the 10th Gen iPad arrived with a USB Type-C port and no second-gen Pencil support, Apple made a clunky adapter for the Pencil to work. Apple has now announced a Pencil built specifically for Type-C iPads, but it doesn’t help simplify the Apple Pencil lineup.
