Do they all support the Apple Pencil? Or only certain versions? Thank you for this.

No, there are 4 different Apple Pencil versions and each has a list of compatible iPads. Here is the full list. https://support.apple.com/en-us/108937

I thought you were joking about this but they are still selling 3 different pencils. At least one has been retired. But Jesus what a mess of a lineup.

I'm assuming/wishing/hoping they are going to get to Good Pencil and Great Pencil and Good Pencil works on everything and Great Pencil works on a limited set of products.

All support Apple Pencil. Just get the one that the check out flow says goes with the one you picked and be done with it.

But Photoshop doesn't support the Pencil in all iPads... I had to return 2 pencils and 1 iPad.
