There are small differences between the two (not to mention price). So which one do you need, really?

The Apple Pencil 2 is the best stylus available for iPad, and a vast improvement on the original. Magnetic charging, tap controls and a clean design make it a compelling choice for designers, and iOS tweaks mean it's improving all the time. But it will cost you. Compare the Apple Pencil with the Apple Pencil 2 and you'll immediately notice the difference in price. An Apple Pencil 1st gen costs £89/$99, while the Apple Pencil 2 costs £119/$129.

article where we explain it in detail. Suffice to say, for now, the original Apple Pencil is the most broadly compatible stylus, and definitely the budget option. The lowest price you can pay for a new iPad together with an Apple Pencil is £438/$428 – that’s the 10.2-inch iPad plus Apple Pencil 1st gen.

The original Apple Pencil has no equivalent option.The Apple Pencil 2 has a huge edge when it comes to storage. It attaches magnetically to the side of the iPad Pro, and connecting it this way also charges it wirelessly.

The Pencil 1st gen does come with a charging adapter in the box, though: a converter, so that you can use a normal Lightning cable to charge the Pencil. As long you’re diligent about plugging it in regularly, this would be a much better way to go about it. This hardness does make the tips highly durable. Don’t expect to see much, if any, sign of wear within a year or so, unless you’re trying to use it to make fire.
