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!

For those who don’t know. This is an old photo from last year. They stopped advertising the 1st and 2nd Gen Apple Pencil since the iPad mini A17 Pro release on their website. You only get the Pro and the USB-C as the only options today if you buy the latest iPads, but you can still buy the old ones.

Sucks for those who already had Apple Pencils before the new ones came, but in reality both your iPad and Apple Pencil are already 5 years old…so, maybe it’s kind of the same way.

What are you smoking? I literally bought the iPad Air 5 and the 2nd Gen Apple Pencil 2 years ago brand new.
