Shouldn't Apple consider allowing use of Apple Pencil while it's charging?

Question

I have an iPad 2018 with 1st generation Apple Pencil. I am trying to use it for taking notes while it is connected to USB-cable charging, but surprisingly it doesn't work even though it is recognized by the iPad already! (I can see its charging status on notification page)

So I am wondering shouldn't Apple consider the issue and fix the problem?

Is it worth it contacting them for that?

Answer 1

Apparently Apple disables drawing functionality while Apple Pencil is charging for performance reasons. So, the behavior is by design.

• Cannot use Apple Pencil while charging

No, we disable the drawing functionality while it is charging (performance reasons). Although you can charge with a Lightning cable, it will charge much faster when connected directly to the iPad Pro.
