The technology world is ready to receive a new release from Apple that promises to excite users eager for innovation. With the date of May 7 marked on the calendar, fans of the apple brand are eager to discover what surprises the Cupertino company has in store for them. And among the most outstanding expectations is the upcoming release of the long-awaited Apple Pencil 3.

The CEO of Apple, Tim Cook has left no room for doubt by hinting that the company’s next special event will be focused on the iPad, and more specifically, on the Apple Pencil. The promotional image of the event clearly shows an Apple Pencil, which has fueled speculation about the presentation of a new generation of this accessory. Cook even added a pencil emoji to his social media post, thus reinforcing expectations that we will see news related to this device.

Renewed version

From last update in 2018, users have been eagerly awaiting new features and improvements to the Apple Pencil. While the current model already offers a matte design, better grip, double-tap gestures and magnetic charging, Apple Pencil 3 is expected to take the user experience a step further.

Among the most anticipated features is the possible integration with Find My, a feature that would allow users to easily locate their Apple Pencil in case of loss, just like they can with their AirPods and AirTags. Additionally, rumors suggest that the new Apple Pencil could feature interchangeable magnetic tips, which would improve its versatility and durability.

Another exciting aspect is the possible incorporation of a “squeeze” gesture. According to several reports, the Apple Pencil 3 could detect when the user applies pressure to its surface, which would open up new possibilities for performing quick actions, such as adding text or signing documents more intuitively.

Release date

Of course, The May 7 event will not be limited to just the Apple Pencil. Apple is expected to introduce new iPad Air and iPad Pro models, with features ranging from the powerful M2 chip to OLED displays and a slimmer design. Additionally, there are rumors about a possible redesign of the Magic Keyboard, which would transform the iPad into a true alternative to traditional laptops.

With eApple’s special event scheduled to take place online, millions of users around the world will be tuning in to find out the latest news in the world of technology. And while there’s still some time left to reveal all the secrets, one thing is certain: the next Apple Pencil promises to revolutionize the way we interact with our iPad devices, taking creativity and productivity to a new level.
