During the presentation of the tenth generation iPad this week, Apple unveiled a tablet that now charges with a USB-C cable instead of the traditional Lightning port. But the device remains compatible with the first generation Apple Pencil, which is recharged using its socket…Lightning. It was therefore necessary to find an alternative.
This takes the form ofa small adapterwhich connects to the iPad 10 to add a USB-C port. To offer it to yourself, countten eurosadditional. Even though the tablet is already 200 euros more expensive than the previous version, which represents a considerable price increase especially when we know that it is the most affordable model in the collection.
WAIT WHAT.
So the iPad now has USB-C but isn’t compatible with the Apple Pencil 2, so you need to buy a dongle to be able to use the Apple Pencil 1. And you have to carry it with you everywhere.pic.twitter.com/InXAOcBZNq— LeaksApplePro (@LeaksApplePro)October 18, 2022
The great rubbish of social networks
After the discovery of this originality, there was no shortage of reactions. Many people find Apple's initiative particularlydaring, especially in these times of crisis. Others, like a professor who was able to speak on the subject, believe that the adapter simply risks being lost very easily. Even though his students already found themselves in an unfortunate position when they had to recharge the iPad AND the Apple Pencil at the same time... Indeed, it was often the first which served as an external battery for the second. Not very practical.
Note further thatthe price of the Apple Pencil has also been increasedand went from 99 euros to 119 euros for the first generation. The second, for its part, now reaches 149 euros compared to 135 euros previously. Something to think twice about before checking out. Otherwise,the manufacturer Logitech offers a more affordable alternative: the Crayon.

A real snub to legislators
If the European Union asked Apple to abandon the Lightning format in favor of USB-C, it is for the betterprotect the environment. By generating fewer wires, Cupertino is thus committed to theoretically reducing its greenhouse gas emissions, which is also consistent withits ambitions for 2030 in this area. But if it's to make your old accessories compatible with an additional adapter, what's more, the size of which represents a danger for those with heads in the air...
A brilliant way for charging Apple Pencil in iPad 10.#apple #Apple #iPadgen10 #ApplePencil pic.twitter.com/4o8V7Tffis
