The Apple Pencil (USB-C) looks like this. The appearance with the cap closed is almost the same as the existing Apple Pencil.



Remove the top cap to reveal the USB-C port. Apple Pencil (USB-C) can be paired and charged by connecting it wired with a USB-C cable.



Apple Pencil (USB-C) has a built-in magnet like the existing Apple Pencil and can be attached to the side of the iPad. However, it does not support wireless pairing or charging, and cannot be used like the existing Apple Pencil by ``charging by attaching it to the side of the iPad''.



The price of Apple Pencil (USB-C) is 12,880 yen including tax and is scheduled to be released in early November 2023. The differences in functionality between Apple Pencil (USB-C), Apple Pencil (1st generation), and Apple Pencil (2nd generation) are as follows.
