The 1st-Gen Apple Pencil doesn’t work with the iPad Pro

Apple’s new USB-C-to-Lightning adapter is only designed to connect the 1st-gen Apple Pencil to the tech giant’s recently refreshed entry-level iPad.

According to several reports, the accessory doesn’t work with the iPad Pro even though the device also features USB-C, which means you can’t use it to connect the 1st-gen stylus to Apple’s high-end tablet. It’s likely that the accessory also won’t work with the more recent iPad Air or the iPad mini.

While disappointing, this isn’t entirely surprising given the last few iPad Pro generations have featured a magnetic section across one side of the tablet designed to connect and charge the 2nd-Gen Apple Pencil.

Apple’s USB-C-to-Lightning Apple Pencil adapter costs $10 on its own and comes with all-new 1st-gen Apple Pencils. The 1st-gen Apple Pencil costs $129, while the 2nd-gen Apple Pencil costs $169.

Apple might bring macOS to the M2-powered iPad Pro in 2023

Relatively reliable leaker Majin Bu says that Apple is working on a “smaller” version of macOS for the M2-powered iPad Pro. According to the report, this new version of macOS could launch at some point in 2022.

I never thought we’d see these rumours appear again, but here we are.

The project is reportedly internally codenamed “Mendocino” at Apple and will release alongside macOS 14 next year. Rumours regarding Apple making this switch with the iPad have been circulating for years, but they’ve mostly faded away, at least until now.

While iPadOS has become increasingly capable over the years, especially after the introduction of trackpad support, it still feels limited in several respects, particularly when it comes to layering windows and apps with the same feature set as their macOS counterparts.

It’s worth mentioning that rather than an entirely new version of macOS designed for the iPad, Apple could just be working on more Mac-like features for iPadOS, like a menu bar and taking windows beyond what is set to be available in macOS 16 through ‘Stage Manager.’ Rumours like this often have some accuracy to them, but they don’t always turn out to be entirely accurate.

It’s unclear if Apple will initially launch this new version of macOS on the M2-powered iPad before eventually bringing it to M1 iPads. That said, Majin Bu suggests that Mendocino won’t make its way to other iPad Pro generations and that it will be exclusive to M2-powered tablets.

If this rumour is accurate, it will mark a massive shift in the way Apple approaches the iPad. Despite complaints from users, for years, the tech giant has made an effort to maintain differentiation between its Mac and iPad devices.

Apple to release iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura on October 24th

iPadOS 16 will be available to iPad users on October 24th.

The software has several new features in various areas, including Messages and Mail.

For Messages, users will be able to edit or unsend texts, as well as recover deleted messages. In Mail, emails can be scheduled ahead of time or be cancelled before it gets to the recipient’s inbox.

Many will also be relieved to hear the Weather app is finally making its way onto the iPad.

Users will need an iPad or iPad mini (5th generation or later), an iPad Air (3rd generation or later) or an iPad Pro to access the update.

Apple revealed the details alongside two models of the 2022 iPad Pro, featuring the same M2 chip seen in the MacBook Air (2022) and 13-inch MacBook Pro (2022).

The tech giant also revealed a redesigned entry-level iPad. The 10.9-inch device with 2360 x 1640 pixel resolution features squared-off edges, a Touch ID button and USB-C.

Apple also lists October 24th as the release date for macOS Ventura and its notable Continuity Camera feature, which allows users to use their iPhone as a webcam.
