FYI— Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) is not compatible with the new iPad mini A17 Pro.
Is it really a hardware compatibility issue or they just want to sell more apple pencil pro even if the price of the apple pencil 2nd gen is the same than the pro in my region (149€) More on reddit.com

130$ Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) not being compatible with the latest iPad is the sole reason I might not be buying the M4 iPad Pro.
The M1 Pro is still a great device, and no one is forcing you to upgrade it. It has at least a few years of support from Apple left, and you always have the option to do a battery swap if that’s the only issue you’re having with it. Much cheaper than upgrading anyway. More on reddit.com

Is an Apple Pencil worth it?

iPad users who enjoy drawing or frequently take handwritten notes can certainly find value in the Apple Pencil, and it may be an essential tool for those who use any of the best iPads professionally for visually intensive tasks.

Even if you don't typically draw or take handwritten notes, the ease and effectiveness of the Apple Pencil could change that. You may also find it a convenient way to navigate apps or the tablet's interface.
