Which pencil works with the IPad Air m3?
Based off the iPad air M2 only the Apple Pencil Pro works with it. It's the same design as the M2 and the only difference is the M3 chip so the only pencil that works is the Pro. The 2nd gen pencil doesn't work because the camera is now in landscape mode and the magnets are also in a different place. The USB C apple pencil would also work. More on reddit.com

It’s still wild to me that you can’t use the other end Apple Pencil as an eraser. That would be so much easier and more intuitive than having to tap through to change the “mode” on the screen More on reddit.com

r/apple on Reddit: Report: Apple Pencil 3 With Magnetic Tips Likely to Be Announced Instead of New iPads
August 3, 2023 - I like the Apple Pencil and use it everyday. I have never replaced the tip in last 3 years. This would interest me zero. I would be more interested in more input options besides the double tap (which I find doesn’t work that well). I think a button would go a long way but think that is the opposite direction Apple feels like it want to go. ... I have never changed the tip of the first generation pencil and I have it since 2017.

Is the first generation Apple Pencil compatible with the iPad Pro 3rd generation? - Quora
Answer (1 of 2): EDITED UPON FURTHER RESEARCH: No, the first gen Pencil is not compatible with the third gen 12.9 iPad Pro from 2018. I had previously believed it was forward compatible, but had to check more sources to verify. My mistake.
