Apple introduced new iPads and a bunch of new accessories today, but instead of using the launch as a time to simplify, knowing what works with what is more confusing than ever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Let’s focus first on the 10th-generation iPad, which got the biggest changes. Its new design more closely matches the company’s other recent iPads, with a USB-C port, slimmer bezels, and Touch ID on the sleep \/ wake button, just like the iPad Air and iPad Mini. From pictures, you’d be hard-pressed to tell which is the base model iPad and which is the Air.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The similarity to those other two iPads might make you think this new one supports the second-generation Apple Pencil, which can magnetically stick to the side of tablets for charging and pairing. But it doesn’t: instead, the 10th-gen iPad only works with the old Apple Pencil, and since that stylus has to be charged from a Lightning port, which the new iPad lacks, you’ll need a special dongle to hook it up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
