The first iPad that supported Apple Pencil was an iPad Pro but after a year, Apple expanded Apple Pencil support to the entry-level iPad model and that was 6th generation 9.7 inch iPad. Now a new rumor suggests that Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard support may finally come to the upcoming iPad Mini 5.
Developer Steve Troughton-Smith on Twitter provided some information regarding this rumors. According to him, the model numbers of the upcoming iPad, J210/J211 and J217/J218, seems to support Apple’s accessories. He also suggests that the iPad Mini 5 may ship without the Touch ID or the Face ID.
It’s hard to glean much information about J210/J211, and J217/J218, the upcoming iPad models. It seems like both iPad sizes support a Smart Keyboard and Pencil, but it’s possible that neither include Touch ID (nor Face ID). Hard to imagine Apple shipping sans TouchID unless for $
