Is the Apple Pencil 3 really coming? According to rumors, yes! But what are the improvements? These are all expectations of the Apple Pencil 3 at a glance!
Apple Pencil 3: Expectations
There are more and more rumors about the Apple Pencil 3 and most say that we don’t have to wait much longer for the official release. That is why we quickly list all expectations of the Apple Pencil 3.
1. Magnetic points
One of the most noticeable changes (if rumors are to be believed) are the interchangeable magnetic tips. These points of the Apple Pencil 3 come in different shapes. This way you will soon have a special point for your line work, for example, and one that is more suitable for painting.
2. New design
In 2021, there were rumors of an Apple Pencil 3 that was shorter and had a shiny casing. This Apple Pencil was also a bit thicker at the tip. This would come in handy with the interchangeable magnetic points. A larger tip means that the magnet can also be a bit larger to connect it to the rest of the Pencil.
3. Nice colors?
In 2020, there were rumors of a black and white Apple Pencil. But you have to take those rumors with a grain of salt. The expectations for the Apple Pencil 3 say that it will become white again, but we would really like it if the new Pencil was available in more colors.
4. USB-C (or a combination)
You still have to charge the Apple Pencil 1 via the lightning port (or USB-C with an adapter cable) on the standard iPad. There are already rumors that there will be a variant of this Pencil with a USB-C connection. The Apple Pencil 2 uses magnets. You click the pen magnetically onto the top of the iPad Air or iPad Pro, among others.
Apple can opt for a new design with the Apple Pencil 3 that works with all iPads. But it could also be an update for the Apple Pencil 1. Instead of lightning, this new Pencil will have a USB-C connection.
