Why hasn't the first-gen Apple Pencil died yet? This would be very compelling if it supported the second-gen Apple Pencil.

I think it'd be too compelling for a lot of use cases. They want to nudge you up the product lineup.

Dang I completely missed that. I assumed this was USB-C and pencil 2 and planned to order one for my wife once I figured out which color/model to buy, but I guess I’ll hold off a bit more :(

This seems like just a renamed iPad Air, but the iPad Air supports the second-generation pencil.

The charging mechanism for the second-gen pencil probably conflicts with the landscape camera. Also, they don’t have enough differentiators to the iPad Air.
