The Apple Pencil is an incredibly versatile and powerful tool for using your iPad or oher Apple device. It can be used for a variety of tasks, from taking notes to drawing and sketching, with its pressure-sensitive tip providing accurate control and precision. But with so many features comes the question – can I charge my Apple Pencil with my iPhone?

The answer is YES! You can use your iPhone to charge your Apple Pencil – but only if you have the right equipment. All you need is an Apple Pencil Charging Adapter, which comes in the box with your Apple Pencil. Connect this adapter to your iPhone’s Lightning port, then plug your Apple Pencil into the other end. Your iPhone will then start charging it up.

It’s important to note that this method of charging is only compatible with certain models of iPad and iPhones:
• iPad 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th generations (the 10th gen requires a USB-C to Apple Pencil Adapter)
• iPad Pro 12.9-inch 1st and 2nd generations
• iPad Pro 10.5-inch
• iPad Pro 9.7-inch
• iPad Air 3rd generation
• iPad mini 5th generation
It’s also worth mentioning that fast charging only works when plugged into eiher a power source or an iPhone – not both at once. So make sure to unplug it from one before connecting it to the other!

Once connected correctly, it shouldn’t take too long for your pen to recharge – typically 30 minutes for first gen pens and 10-15 minutes for secnd gen pens. So now you know that you can charge your beloved Apple Pencil using nothing more than your trusty old iPhone!
