Apple has several Apple Pencil models available for purchase after the launch of the new Apple Pencil (USB-C) late last year. But at Apple’s next special event in early May, the company is expected to introduce many new features, among them a theoretical Apple Pencil 3.

The stars of Apple’s May special event will undoubtedly be the new iPad, but Apple Pencil 3 could also be an interesting accessory. These are some of the new features that can be added.

Interchangeable magnetic tips

This is one of the first rumors we’ve heard about a possible third generation of the Apple Pencil, and it makes a lot of sense. Current Apple Pencil models all use the same tip these can be replaced when worn, but all available inserts are the same.

Apple Pencil 3 may change this and use a new type of pen. Easily replaceable magnetic tips. This, Depending on the selected tip type, Apple Pencil behaves one way or anotherSomething that could be very interesting for those who draw with it.

Compatible with search app

Apple Pencil is a device that can easily be lost and It would be ideal if it could be found from the Search app like AirPods or AirTag. References to this feature were in the beta version of iPadOS 17.4, so it is quite likely that we will see it in the third generation Apple Pencil as well.

For this to be possible, Apple Integrate UWB chip into Apple Pencil, a very precise location chip that makes your search easier. You can also add: small speaker Making it ring like Apple’s second-generation AirPods Pro did in the charging case.

New touch gestures

Thanks to a leak discovered in the beta version of iPadOS 17.5, we know that Apple is preparing a new Apple Pencil that will include: a new touch gesture called “squeeze”. The current Apple Pencil 2 supports double-tap gestures, and we hope the third generation comes with more touch gestures that expand functionality.

Compatible with Apple Vision Pro

Recently, a rumor has emerged evaluating the compatibility of Apple Pencil with Vision Pro. Apple is internally testing an Apple Pencil model compatible with Apple Vision ProThis makes perfect sense.

This means that users draw or write on any surface and that Vision Pro can save these documents as a sort of giant canvas for each user to draw in front of. We don’t know if Apple Pencil 3 will be the first to offer this functionality, but it will be very interesting and one more reason to buy it.

The invitation to the Apple event leaves us with many clues about what we might see. A clear nod to Apple Pencil. For this reason, we think it will be one of the new accessories we will see in a few days.
