A New Apple Pencil

Probability: High.

While it’s hard to imagine what else Apple could do with its stylus, reports suggest the company is poised to release a new third-generation version of the Apple Pencil, and it’s fair to say that if it’s coming, then it will arrive alongside the new iPad Pro lineup tomorrow.

After all, both prior Apple Pencils debuted with their respective iPad Pros, and while Apple Pencil support has since expanded to all of Apple’s iPads, both the first- and second-generation Apple Pencils were exclusive to the current iPad Pro models when they first debuted. It’s likely the third-generation Apple Pencil will take a similar approach in supporting some new feature found only on the 2021 iPad Pro.

What’s Coming: A glossy new Apple Pencil for the 2021 iPad Pro. Compatibility with older models is uncertain, but it will almost certainly offer wireless charging, offer new gestures, and may even include advanced sensors for things like colour-matching.
