I should not have gone down that rabbit hole. Why is Apple selling three variants of the Apple Pencil and then the Apple Pencil Pro as well.

The first generation comes with a Lightning adapter and a USB-C to Apple Pencil Adapter (required to pair and charge with iPad (A16) and iPad (10th generation). What are those adapters doing?

It is compatible with the "iPad Pro 9.7-inch" which I presume is the first generation iPad Pro but why does it not state the generation like they do with the iPad Pro 12.9-inch? Why state "iPad (A16)" but not use the 11th generation?

Thanks for raising my blood pressure! But I had fun doing so.

No Apple Pencil Ultra? What a missed opportunity.

And try getting Apple Care for them without buying an iPad at the same time.

The Pencil is covered through the Apple Care of your iPad, even when purchased separately.

Using a Pencil without an iPad and wanting Apple Care on it is a bit of a niche use case. And do you really need Apple Care on a $79/$99/$129 product?

I wanted to add a Pencil to an existing iPad.

Company policy required me to get AppleCare for the new device, there was no way to add it to just the Pencil. At least on the India site.
