[iMore Question]

Hey, so I know that the iPad 6th Gen and onward have a special layer in the bezel that makes it compatible with the Apple Pencil. That made me wonder, could a 4th Gen be modded with a replacement bezel meant for the 6th Gen, and then be compatible? And if not, what other components would have to be modified to make it work?

In a word, no. It's not just the bezel:

Simply double-tap to change tools without interrupting your flow.

It's the hardware in the new iPads and works with the new Pencils.
