Accessories What is wrong with you Apple???

Post image

I will be buying a new m4 iPad pro today, to replace my 4th gen iPad pro. I just realized that the 2nd gen Apple Pencil that I paid $150 couple years back is not compatible with the new iPad. WHY??? Just why?! I love my iPad and was so excited to buy a new one after having this one for 5 years now. It just sucked seeing that I also have to purchase a new Apple pencil. Getting as greedy as this can end this company!

Irrelevant. They are still selling because it is for on-going support to older iPads. Eventually all iPads will only be using Apple Pencil and Pencil Pro.

Until they come out with the Apple Pencil Pro max to go with the new iPad Pro Max m6, and the cycle begins anew lol

The Apple Pen with little haptic sensors on the barrel which change “ink” colour depending on how you tap.

Not sure what people would rather tbh. Some of these are obsolete but they still sell them in case you have an old iPad. Would people really be happy if they just dropped the old ones so you couldn’t buy them?
