Apple Pencils come in a few different generations, each with slightly varying dimensions. Generally, an Apple Pencil's length ranges from 6.10 inches to 6.92 inches, and its diameter is either 0.29 inches or 0.35 inches, depending on the model.
Understanding the specific dimensions can be helpful for compatibility with cases, stands, or simply knowing how the device will feel in hand. The dimensions for each generation are detailed below:
Apple Pencil Dimensions by Generation
| Generation | Length (inches) | Diameter (inches) |
|---|---|---|
| First Generation | 6.92 inches (176 mm) | 0.35 inches (8.9 mm) |
| Second Generation | 6.53 inches (166 mm) | 0.35 inches (8.9 mm) |
| Apple Pencil (USB-C) | 6.10 inches (155 mm) | 0.29 inches (7.4 mm) |
As shown, the original Apple Pencil is the longest, while the Apple Pencil (USB-C) is the most compact. The first and second generation models share the same diameter, which is slightly thicker than the USB-C model. These precise measurements help users differentiate between the models and understand their physical footprint.
