The tech giant could launch the Apple Pencil (3rd generation) or Apple Pencil 3 as early as this month, according to a new report. An earlier report highlighted that Apple is preparing to launch multiple devices in the next two months, with the new 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air powered by the M3 chipset already released. Now, the Cupertino-based company may be gearing up to launch the next generation of Apple Pencil along with new features like magnetic interchangeable tips and support for the Find My app.
This information comes from a tipster named Instant Digital on Weibo (via MacRumors ). According to reports, Apple will launch the third-generation Apple Pencil in March 2024. This also corroborates an earlier report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who said that Apple may launch multiple new devices through press releases between March and April. If true, this release will eventually replace the second-generation Apple Pencil launched in 2018. The tech giant did launch a cheaper Apple Pencil last year, but it wasn’t an update to the second-generation model.
Little is currently known about the design and functionality of the Apple Pencil 3, but reports point to some upgrades it may receive. It could get a shorter body and a smoother surface, and it could potentially get multiple magnetic interchangeable nibs that can be used for sketching in different styles. It may also gain support for the Find My app, allowing users to find it if it’s lost or misplaced, 9to5Mac reports. However, it is not clear whether it supports precise positioning function. It is also expected to feature a USB Type-C port.
Gurman’s report highlights that two new iPad Pro models with OLED displays may also be launched soon. It is believed that Apple Pencil 3 may be launched as an accessory. In addition, there are rumors that a new Magic Keyboard may also be launched at the same time. The rumored Apple tablet may be equipped with an M3 chipset, a redesigned rear camera module, a horizontal front camera, a slimmer body, and more.
