That marriage of utility and design is so useful and obvious that it seems almost incomprehensible for Apple to introduce a new tablet design that doesn't support it. No more worrying that it rolled off the table or that I left it behind. Whenever I grab an iPad Pro, and now an iPad Air, which also supports the Pencil 2, the implement is craftily clinging to my iPad. This design serves two purposes: to charge the Pencil, and also keep it close at hand. Instead of a Lightning port plug, the second-generation Pencil is a sealed device with one flat edge designed to marry perfectly with the magnetic conductive charge area along one long, flat edge of the iPad Pro.
