Some Apple Stores in the US have suspended sales of the first-generation Apple Pencil until stock improves for the USB-C to Lightning adapter, which is needed to charge the Pencil with the new iPad entry level, MacRumors has learned.

Apple Pencil adapter for iPad
The 10th generation iPad is only compatible with the first generation ‌Apple Pencil‌, which has a USB-C port. To charge the Pencil with the ‌iPad‌, customers must use a USB-C to Lightning adapter that was at some point last week facing a month-long backlog.

Apple will offer the USB-C to Lightning adapter in the box with the first-generation ‌Apple Pencil‌, but shipments for those boxes have yet to arrive in Apple Stores. Stores have been instructed not to sell older first-generation ‌Apple Pencil‌ models until new shipments arrive.

This move will ensure that customers of the new ‌iPad‌ won’t be left without a way to charge their ‌Apple Pencil‌. The new ‌iPad‌ went on sale in Apple Stores this week. According to Apple’s online store, the USB-C to Lightning adapter should ship in one to two weeks.
