Buzz

While many reports indicate that Apple plans to launch new models of iPad Air, iPad mini, and affordable iPad this week, Japanese blog Mac Otakara suggests that the third-generation Apple Pencil is likely to be announced instead of the new iPad.

According to the reports, “MacOTAKARA believes that instead of being an iPad update, the Apple Pencil 3 will be launched with interchangeable magnetic tips.”

Apple could unveil the Apple Pencil 3 with magnetic tip this week.

Last month, leaker 'Majin Bu' revealed that the new Apple Pencil will feature interchangeable magnetic tips for drawing, technical drawing, and sketching.

The second-generation Apple Pencil was announced on October 30, 2018. It came with a non-magnetic tip and included interchangeable tips. However, users could attach this magnetic pen to some iPad models.

Apple currently sells the first-generation Apple Pencil with a Lightning charging port for the 10th generation iPad and some older iPad models. There are indications that this model of Apple Pencil may soon be updated with a USB-C connector. The original Apple Pencil was released in November 2015 for $99.
