this is so much better than having the whole pencil hang out of your tablet. Only took them 3 tries to get it right

Seems like a pretty serious downgrade to me. I have no interest in separately charging it when it works perfectly well as is.

Magnetic charging doesn't work at all for me. When I'm using the iPad, the pencil gets in the way. When I'm not using the iPad, it's usually in my bag and then the pencil falls off.

The 1st Gen pencil worked better for me, with the little adapter so it could be charged with a lightning cable - but it's not compatible with the latest iPads.

Likewise. That’s a poor design choice when wireless charging on the iPad is already a thing. No desire at all to get this.

Is it part of EU compliance?
