This is still only compatible with the 1st gen Apple Pencil which charges with a male lightning connector. Since this new iPad no longer has a lightning port you now need an adaptor which, at least, they include in the box.
nope it doesn't include the adapter, its a $9 extra purchased on top of the pencil, also the adapter is female on both sides so the dongle doesn't plug in directly to the ipad, it requires a cable
The adapter comes with the pencil now and the cable you need comes with the iPad.
