USB-C to Apple Pencil Adapter

The USB-C to Apple Pencil Adapter is a dongle produced by Apple to allow the 10-generation iPad to charge and pair with a 1st-generation Apple Pencil.
__TOC__
==Description==
The adapter was first revealed by Apple on October 18, 2022 to support the 10-generation iPad, which lacks the wireless charging circuitry to support a 2nd-generation Apple Pencil. The 10-generation iPad also replaced the Lightning connector of its predecessors with a USB-C port, necessitating the use of the adapter to support the 1st-generation Apple Pencil. In October 2022, Apple also began including the adapter with new shipments of the 1st-generation Apple Pencil.iPad 10 vs 9 vs iPad Air: How the new affordable iPad lineup compares by Michael Potuck, 9to5Mac. 2022-10-18.

*Pair a 1st-generation Apple Pencil with a 10-generation iPad.
*Charge a 1st-generation Apple Pencil from a USB-C power source.
