A good fit if you mainly write and annotate. It supports tilt but not pressure sensitivity, and has no double tap, squeeze, or Find My. It pairs and charges only through a USB-C cable; attaching it magnetically to iPad does not charge it. Works with iPad models that have a USB-C port, including iPad (A16) and iPad (10th generation). If your iPad supports Apple Pencil Pro and you need pressure-sensitive drawing, choose Pro.
