| Even amongst Apple's own devices it is a mess. To charge an Apple Pencil with an iPad Pro you need not one, but two adapters.

I’m curious what you’re referring to. I charge my Apple Pencil while connected to my iPad, and my iPad chargers via usb c. No adapters for me?

He's referring to the pencil v1, which had to be charged via lightning.

Oh I forgot they added wireless charging in V2. Yeah that part of my argument doesn't really make sense then.

They are referring to the original Apple Pencil which used a lightning port at the end.

Worse, the Pencil 1 didn't have a lightning port, it insanely had a lightning plug - it had to be charged precariously sticking out of the bottom of the iPad like this:

Not entirely true. It came with a little female-female lightning adapter so you could charge it with whatever other lightning cable you have. The pencil end of the adapter is deeper than the other end, I think so you can't plug a lightning cable into each end.
